SEO reprots broken links with mailto

[Egg Bramhill]

I'm of the opinion, though I'm often wrong, that Xara's optimisation feature only reduces the file size of the .xar/.web file NOT the published image size within the index_htm_file folder. Could the Devs comment further? So it works but only in reducing the .xar/.web file size, not the website image size.

I'll try and do a video but it gets quite complicated.

Hi All,

I will try and implement the recommended changes. But I will use another of my customer site as it is a smaller site www.etmonline.com.au as the tjm site takes 7 minutes to publish everything (155 pages).

the seo tool box reports for etmonline attached reports similar SEO problems. I will use this as baseline.

Grouping the email icon and the text on the contact page still reports a broken link.

I will continue to resolve these errors and post results

Any further suggestions on how to SEO these errors would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Egg,

Great video, but a lot work which I will attempt to do.

I would like to attempt the low hanging fruit problems in my SEO challenge.

First the broken mailto link
I have tried a number of ways to correct the broken link reported above by the SEO tool box......No luck.

What I have done now is started a brand new site and http://www.clbls2.com.au/etmonline/. I have created a mailto link as described before. Running the SEO tool on this address still reports this as broken link. i have included 2 attachments

question to the Xaraweb team, where in Xaraweb, being a closed application,where would this be error be coming from.

appreciate your help

Try grouping it with a rectangle behind it, set the value to mailto: your email address and ensure the correct automatically is unchecked. Then with it still selected go Web Properties / Image and give it an alt of "Email Me".

Try unticking the Correct automatically box beside the Link to box.

Hi All

Thank you for the suggestions. But please look at the attached to see how I have configured the properties for the mail icon. I have also included the reprot from seotool box. the web site is http://www.clbls2.com.au/etmonline/

The tick in correct automatically is disabled

Hi Egg...when u say rectangle do u mean placeholder. I have tried using a place holder. Could you be more detailed in the instructions.

any further help would be appreciated

Perhaps the SEO Tool is at fault?

Tend to agree with Acorn as Google & the link below don't give bad page request errors.
