Hi Erik,
404 pages are not only annoying but also bad for SEO.
I had so many broken pages created because of some of the posts I deleted months ago. I use redirection plugin to send my traffic from broken links to any page that I decide. This plugin is very handy and offers tons of other features too.
I would like to try out the Google plugin you mentioned. As search box can get users search what they want when a page is missing.

Hi Erik,

This is an important topic in the SEO field you just discuss here, some webmasters still don’t know or understand how important Google take the issue of 404 error code to user experience

So you’ve done a great job here by listing some of the finest WordPress plugins that make the process easier to implement.

I use the Genesis 404 error plugin together with “display post shortcode” WordPress plugin. So on the 404 error page user will always get a list of the blog most recent publications – I chose to display 10 most recent posts on the 404 error page.

This will provide users with an alternative information to check out, and improve time on site.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hi Erik,

Recently I got a hit for the 404 error. This seems a great list of resources to get rid of this problem.

All 404 Redirect to HomePage. 404 to 301 are a good & simple solution to those errors. 404Page sounds interesting as as I will be able to customize it like other content using the same WordPress editor. But personnaly as a Genesis user I would like to go with Genesis 404Page.

Thanks for providing solution to the very basic problem. 🙂

Hey Erik,
Its good knowing of these plugins. Its most embarrassing seeing 404 errors after accessing sites. I guess with these plugins one can make sites more appealing and make better redirects!

In reply to Judy. Hi Erik, Still using the ninja affiliate plugin? Is that still being supported? I used it a couple of years ago, but have since switched to Pretty Link, which gives me no problems in combination with the SEO redirection plugin.
