va3sieHi,
I recently moved my wordpress blog from va3sie.blogsite.org to va3sie.com/blog.
I added va3sie.com to google webmaster tools and I have noticed thousands of crawl errors with strange looking URLs.
There are loads of URLs with strange random categories and there are URLs with chevrons in them, often lots of urls each with one more chevron than the last.
For example:
http://www.va3sie.com/blog/uk/page/9/?cat=bpcqcfhkqt
http://www.va3sie.com/blog/uk/page/9/?cat=bpcqcfhkqt%3E%3E%3E%3E%3E%3E%3E
http://www.va3sie.com/blog/uk/page/9/?cat=bpcqcfhkqt%3E%3E%3E%3E%3E%3E%3E%3E%3E%3E%3E
If I do a google search of 'cat=bpcqcfhkqt' I see these links to my old site.
I don't know where these are coming from but I would like to eliminate them because google keeps sending new requests and they are filling up my global translator cache.
The global translator debug file shows these requests coming from google:
