good 404 page

Better handling of 404 pages using Google

Feb 22nd, 2009

Seldom it happens that you get few incoming links typed wrong, or you delete/move some of your posts. The result will be a 404 page not found error page displayed to your visitors coming for the old link. Luckily WordPress has a custom page for handling 404 errors, in the form of 404.php template in your theme. However the default page in many themes leaves much to be desired.
