    would this lead to duplicate content in a search engine's perspective?

    first of all what host are you using ..well im guessing there would be a 404.shtml you can edit and just put this code


    <html>

<head>
<title>Redirecting now...</title>
</head>

<body>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">top.location="http://googleminigames.com";</script>

</body>

</html>
    HTML:

    and save it as 404.shtml

    on your public_html folder on your file manager or FTP

    some hosts use WWW or just nothing at all
    hope this helped

    Change my site to you site

    some shared servers use one error file for everybody.
    in that case add:
    Errordocument 404 /404.shtml
    in the .htaccess and then make the 404.shtml
