    Its when the page is not found such as when you go to a page and type in a missing link.

    If you have cPanel control panel your can setup 404 page from control panel (Error pages option). You can also set it using .htaccess file on Apache server. Just add the below line in your .htaccess file:

    ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

    404.html file should be in the root folder of your domain.

    Most of the control panels provide the option to set 404 page from cp.

    its when there is no page to be found for the given link or address. You can make a custom page that can direct your 404 traffic to a designated webpage or pages.

    you need to create a custom page and direct all 404 to the page using your control panel settings. i would say create a page that can search all items in the site as your error page. so even if they miss the link, they can find it. otherwise provide a sitemap in the error page hence the navigation is made easy for the visitor. this is quite easy. see the help tips on error page in your control panel ...cheers

    This Error code occurs when page not found and once when google reads this error then does not read the Rest of the page so we mus care about this kind of error while creating a web page................
