So far just today on our server stats we show 57077 requests for 404......is that a lot? We use about 30 Gigs of bandwidth per day.

Check your stats and raw server logs - with that many, it's likely full of favicon.ico or maybe some bad code somewhere - like a spacer.gif not being found or some other hard to notice file missing.

If it's true 404, you're missing out on a bunch of eyeballs, even figuring in the percentage that manipulate the URL looking for free shit..

BTW - there's no .htaccess for windows systems (as someone mentioned above). In windows, you need to set up a 404 redirect in the Internet Services console. Simple to do - just not as quick and easy as .htaccess.

Another great site for error doc stuff, and everything else about .htaccess: http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess2.shtml
