Hi Adrian,
I did a 10 year clean up of old, thin content blog posts and associated hundreds of useless tags and categories. I 301d over appropriate old blog posts and deleted hundreds more. However google bot, of course, found thousands of 404 errors from the deleted tags, and categories. I understand it won’t hurt my rankings however it has caused a dramatic crawl slowdown in my site. I used to get crawled every couple of hours, now I get crawled once a week. Any suggestions? Thanks Russ

What if the 404’s come from Google serp page? My client has moved 800 pages in once and now the 404’s are all over. He now has put the pages back, but especially when searching for images, all rankings are gone.
