Can anybody show me how to avoid searchers getting error message?

    Is there a way, (I know there is) to have all error pages redirect to the home page?
    And also, what do I do about bad, or unsearchable URL's?
    For instance, www. mysite. com/aseawet-aw-awegfpag-gfa.

    Is there anyway to have everything that has my address in it, like www. mysite. com, that may come up as unsearchable go to my home page?

    Any help would be appreciated with reps.
    Thanks

    I think if you are using cPanel you can create a custom HTML error page which redirects a 401 Error to what you want it to be. So basically every page that displays a 401 Error you can edit the page source code in the cPanel. I am not familiar with actually doing it, but I tried once, and saw someone else do it in action, but I never did it to work personally. Hope that helps!

    Well it's a start. I am getting a lot of error connections but I can't find them, when I go through all of the indexed pages in Google they all connect to the appropriate page.
    Is there something else that I should be looking at?
    Or is this the stats of all the bots that are blocked?
