Fix 404 errors

Hello, I just need some help and advice fixing all the 404 errors on my site. Google was identifying quite a few pages with 404 errors and I have since downloaded a plugin ("404 to Start") which notifies me of 404 errors while at the same time redirecting people who land on a 404 back to the homepage instead. Since then I have been getting heaps of 404 error email notifications about all kinds of obscure things that I know nothing about. I don't know if these are theme related or what, but I haven't heard of any of them before! The plugin I see as a temporary fix at best. I think to avoid getting penalised by Google and other search engines, I need the 404 errors gone and I don't have the time to search them out myself. I don't know how to find them - they are things like ++liker.profile_URL++ and [login to view URL] when there are no such png files in the media library. So, I need someone to explain to me how these 404 errors are happening, and also to fix them. Unfortunately I don't know exactly how many I have - I have over 800 email notifications in my inbox but many of them are repeat notifications. Please quote me to fix say 20 errors, and then if there are any more I'll get you to fix another 20, and so on, until they're all gone. Thanks!

Hello First of all, the 404 pages shouldn't scare you that much. It is not good to have, but it's not that bad as it sound IF the site is set up correctly to show 404 page error. Basically google will index it as 404 and sooner or later remove it from the cache and index. The reason why this error happen is usually bad linking/ on the site or from outside the site. To fix the 404 errors you can redirect them (301 redirect) to the correct page or you can find the pages that link to the missing ones and correct it there. It is far more important to correct the bad links inside the site (so you don't send the people to non-existent pages) than to try to fix and deal all the 404's The reason is if I type the address: [login to view URL] in the browser, this is not existing, so will triger a 404 error. It can be a simple typo that does the same. you can't control everything that user do or how they try to enter the site, what they remember, but you can control the site itself, and make sure there are no bad links. This type of projects are best done on hourly rates, and with the "work timer" that basically times the hours worked with the correcting links. The site should be added to webmaster tools, where you can see what's happening and also can get clues on how are the 404 (and many other) pages are generated. Feel free to hit me up for a chat if interested, I cam sort out this things for you, and also willing to explain if you wish to learn.

Hi, If the error page is being generated automatically, then you should be looking for how to prevent auto errors. And there's nothing like fixing 404 pages. Either you would have to delete reference of these pages from other pages, or use a 301 to point to a new alternative page. Or if the page exists, but showing a 404 header, we will just modify one header and it will affect other 404's. Can you provide a link to a error page ?

Hello! They are probably quoting you just that. Anyway regarding my offer - the amount is for fixing them ALL whether 80 or 5000 doesn't matter. I suspect that many of these are inter-related anyway, meaning that fixing one would most probably fix some of the others as well. Can start working on this as soon as you make the decision to move forward. I doubt it'd require more than a day of work to get it all fixed. Kind Regards, Dobri
