A while ago I changed my website from www.a-class-driving.synthasite.com to www.a-class-driving.com and a few weeks ago google webmaster tools has highlighted some webcrawl errors regarding the chnage. I have no physical links to the old site anywhere on my site, so I cant alter anything so how can I get rid of these 23 error links? I cant think where to start or how to go about this.

Hi Will
Did you reconfigure your GWT account when you changed domains? Also, could you send the actual error message? I only see a screenshot with the list of page URLs

Hello Will,
I believe those errors are being generated because you used to have a page called synthasite.php (did you at one time have a page with that name), and now it no longer exits. That error signifies that there is a page on your site called synthasite.php, not that Google is trying to access the old subdomain.
The 23 pages on the error message must have at one time linked to a page with the name synthasite.php and since the page no longer exists, there is an error generated.
I believe that if you give Google a bit of time to re-crawl your site that the problem should remedy itself.
Let us know if you have any further questions.
Emmy

Hey monique
I did reconfigure my GWT and I also recently re-submitted my sitemap as someone said it may help.
Actual message reads: http://www.a-class-driving.com/syntha...

And ...
Hello Emmy. I did used to have a page called synthasite.php, and changed it. I have no physcial links which I can change/know of how to change. I chaged that name quite a while ago, and Im sure that some of the pages that are linked to it didnt exist when it was called synthasite.com ( i could be wrong though). How long do you think it will take to recrawl? Like I said above, I have already resubmitted a sitemap, and has been looked at, but still this issue persists.
One last question, I swear, in the little grab Ive attached here, there are two other bad links to pages that I made a long, long time ago and didnt have live on the net for more than 5 minutes. I deleated them very quickly as I realised that what I was doing wasnt going to work. How can I get rid of these? Or will it be a waiting game like the other issue?

I think you should just give it a few weeks. I have looked and your site has many pages indexed so all seems to be well. It can be a bit of a waiting game, just keep doing all the good things you are doing!
