# Error Pages with Backlinks

Pages which have backlinks but which return an error status code.

**Priority**: Critical

**Impact**: Negative

## What issues it may cause

These URLs have backlinks from external websites but don't return a 200 status code or a valid redirect which means that PageRank or link equity which may have been passed by those backlinks is lost.

## How do you fix it

<ol>
  <li>Consider restoring the page so it returns a 200 response.</li>
  <li>Consider redirecting the URL to an equivalent working page which responds with a 200 status</li>
</ol>

## What is the positive impact

The rankings of other pages may be improved as PageRank can be passed to other pages and distributed throughout the site.

## How to fetch the data for this report template

You will need to run a crawl for report template to generate report. When report has been generated and you have
crawl id you can fetch data for the report using the following query:


```graphql
query GetReportStatForCrawl(
      $crawlId: ObjectID!
      $reportTemplateCode: String!
      $after: String
     ) {
        getReportStat(
          input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode}
        ) {
          crawlUrls(after: $after, reportType: Basic) {
            nodes {
              pageTitle
              url
              description
              foundAtUrl
              backlinkDomainCount
              backlinkCount
              deeprank
              level
              httpStatusCode
              failedReason
              backlinkCount
              gaVisits
              foundInGoogleAnalytics
              foundInGoogleSearchConsole
              foundInBacklinks
              foundInList
              foundInLogSummary
              foundInWebCrawl
              foundInSitemap
            }
            totalCount
            pageInfo {
              endCursor
              hasNextPage
            }
          }
       }
     }
```
