404 pages on google

Hi there
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have redirects on 404 pages to other pages in the site?

Thanks

 

Yes it is for me the best way to redirect old pages to new ones.

 

Yes and you can also have custom 404 error pages...see here:

custom error page is recommended. redirect your 404 to another existing web page is not good idea.

 

If you removed a page deliberately for the sake of having upgraded content, it's a good idea to redirect the old page to the new one.

 

Yes, This is good idea to redirect the old and error containing page to 404 page. Due to this we can save our site from penalty. Netprro sydney

 

404 error pages are good for the website in SEO point...

 

It's truly good idea make redirection on that pages on 404 pages .

 

404 error pages are Not good for the website.

 

I read somewhere that Google dilutes down the index of non-existing pages over the time.

 

yes you can redirect the 404 page on any working page or you can set a default page for all 404 pages and direct that page for all 404 error pages.

 

404 error not good for the website in seo point.............

 

If the old pages do not exist then there is nothing better than to save the links and any link juice the page might have to redirect to a new and existing page.

 

You can redirect to 'Custom error page' and try avoiding redirecting your 404 to any other webpage.
