What else can be done
about 404 page not found errors, how to secure an efficient 404 strategy for
your users.

What else can you do about 44 page not found error codes:
- Check your web site's log files. A high
percentage of 404 errors in your web site's log files is reason to further
research. Make sure you understand what your users are looking for and how
they run into those page errors.
- It is always a good idea to
NOT delete outdated pages without
replacement but either update them or redirect to updated pages. You do
not know how many sites, directories, partners linked to pages that you
might have deleted.
Also make it a routine to contact webmasters who link to
outdated URL's of your web site. Offer a clear linking policy, easy to use
tools and an option for them to be linked from your site if your policy
suggests reciprocal linking.
