Google Web Accelerator: Say goodbye to a healthy chunk of 404

**AdPatron** · 05-06-2005, 10:23 AM

Hmmm. But what if my site generates it's own custom 404. Will google rob me of that?

**uno** · 05-06-2005, 10:24 AM

It didn't do that to me. I just checked on a few of my sites.

There has to be a way to block Google from stealing our 404 traffic..

Do you have the Web Accelerator beta installed on your computer?

Well, yes there is. Prevent apache from sending any 404 error headers.

Its pure evil. Like anything Google brings out lately.

It's easy as fuck to block google from intercepting your 404 pages

I may have spoke to soon. Maybe it's not a 404 issue. but this is the page I get when going to a few pages.

Error: web site not found

The web host is not accessible.

Possible sources of this error:

* The host name is invalid
* There was a DNS error
* The web site may be unavailable
* You may not be connected to the internet

Please edit the URL, or search for it using Google.

Google Web Accelerator version 0.2.52.65-pintail.a
Windows XP 5.1

May not be a 404 thing.....

it is very scary.

**Mack** · 05-06-2005, 10:36 AM

Franck- thank you for your post. as I thought, I have uninstalled this app.

I dunno, I am glad in a way that I am the only one with this problem it appears.

Much like the application that is gone from my pc, so is the problem.
