Web Design Tips - page errors
How many of you out there have when to go to a certain page and gotten an error similar to 'ERROR - 404, page not found.' Basically what that is telling you is that page no longer exits on that site you are visiting. For me, 99.9% of the time I'll try another site. There are very few people that will actually go to the parent page of that site and look for the page there. That is why it is very important that you keep all your pages linked correctly, and if you move a page, always keep the old page and use a redirect script, or a link to the new page. You never know how many people may have bookmarked that page, or how many search engines that page is listed in. After a certain amount of time, it may be safe to take down the old page, once you are certain your visitors know where the new page is. Keep in mind using a redirect script can be very risky business with search engines, so it would be my recommendation to use a normal HTML link.
