    I have a custom 404 page that people are directed to (using the .htacces file command "ErrorDocument 404 /404.php") should i include this file in my robots.txt file so it does not end up listed in the search engines if a page is moved?

    Thanks

    Yeah I did the same thing for some custom pages I created similar to your scenario. We actually had two different pages getting indexed and squashed them both.

    Just upload your Custom Page with All other pages. NO need to block or add it to Robot.txt.
