Hi Galit,

I just looked over your site and it looks like those /index.html versions of your pages do still exist.

For instance, when you are on

http://www.dogfond.com/behavior-training/dealing-with-dog-aggression

if you go and click on the Dog Fond logo on the bottom left of that page, it will bring you to the /index.html version:

http://www.dogfond.com/behavior-training/dealing-with-dog-aggression/index.html - which is a custom 404.

Hope this helps.

As for 404 errors in general, if you receive a 404 error from SEOmoz, that means, "4xx status codes are shown when the client requests a page that cannot be accessed. This is usually the result of a bad or broken link."

Internal 404 errors should be fixed as it is bad for user experience, as well as an inefficient time for crawlers.

Hi Mike,

We didnt create those .index.html pages. I think its because of the custom theme we used. Whats the best way to deal with these pages? Use redirect plugins?

I just took a look at your site right now and it looks like you resolved that index.html issue.

Nice work!

Mike
