It happens to surfers [on a web site] for various reasons.
- They manually typed in a link on your site that doesn't exist
- You moved/changed a page that is still in a search engine
- Something is wrong with the host of your domain
- A page/file is corrupted server side
...and other various errors for a page not loading properly. Severs are
set up to throw a "404 page" at them so the surfer gets notified there
is nothing there.
You can modify what 404 page is served or modify what happens (where
they go) when a 404 is about to be served.
Generally the idea of controlling 404 traffic means something fucked up
and instead of losing that surfer you can still control what they see or
where they go...like having hyperlinks to click on or just plain automatically
send them to another page/url instead of letting the server throw a default
404 page at them.
Think of it like gluing the holes shut on a dribble glass...you lose nothing
and everything in the glass is yours to use instead of some of it spilling
on the floor and being lost.
Your just pissed cause I drilled your hole yesterday
Its ok that your gay you dont have to take it out on me. Ive been doing this biz since '94 so Im sure Ive been around longer than most. But thanks for playin..
When the surfer hit an adress that dosen't exist, it's 404 traffic .
404 is the name of the error server wise.
