oki, So here is one for experts! I have an html site and uppdated it. All html files have different names but i didnt delete whats online due to the pagerank they all have. I get traffic to them .. it says "outdated" up on top and to "click here" most leave running Is there some code to put on the server to load the index.html if a file is not found on the server. so if someone goed to mysite.com/nonexistant.html they would end up on index.html? there should be a way, simple way or should i do one by one entry in the .htacess? what wouldthe entry be? thanks, Sam
Well, generally it's best to do a 301 redirect for each page that you've renamed. In addition, you should have a custom 404 error page, to catch any pages that you may have forgotten
cool thanks well im not redirecting to a new page... all go to 404. So ill make a custom 404 that would be the simples and add the no follow rule for the bots
