Error Pages

What They Are And How They Affect Your Web Site

A common problem with people searching for web site information is:

Not Found The requested URL xxx was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Usually a link (or a reference to another page with more information) is broken. The page could be moved to a different address or no longer available. 

Some pages are dead ends, leaving potiential customers wondering how to get back to find you.

Sometimes a page is changed and links within the site work. But search engines have an old site index and list a page that is no longer there.

How does this affect a web site? A potiential customer has found something of interest on your web site and clicked to find out more. It was not available. Often that person is searching other sites also.  Most users will just leave and not research the broken link and let you know they left your site or got frustrated because they could not find the information.

The results are that a potential customer is now history for that moment.

This is a sign your web site needs some cleaning, which is a good thing to do periodically.

So if you have any 404 page errors in your log, fix them. Don't miss a customer again. Contact us now.
