• I am getting almost 4,000 crawl error in Google Webmaster Tools that seemed to be caused by the “Track Outbound Clicks & Downloads” selection in the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin configuration.

    An example of an outbound link in the source code is as follows:

    Google’s crawler looks at “/out/www.1stdentist.com/” in this code, which is generated by the plugin and considers it a bad link. I can uncheck “Track Outbound Clicks & Downloads” in the plugin, and that generated code goes away and fixes the problem.

    I have several other sites that use this plugin, and they don’t have this crawl error issue. What could be causing the problem with this particular site? The site in question is:
