Status 404-pages

[Partouter]

Hi all,

One of my websites has been crawled by SEOmoz this week. The crawl showed me 3 errors: 1 missing title and 2 client errors (4XX).

One of these client errors is the 404-page itself! What's your suggestion about this error? Should a 404-page have the 404 http status?

I'd like to hear your opinion about this one!

Thanks all!

Hello!

I am seeing a lot of my clients using a 301 when the page doesn't exists redirecting to a well designed 404 page.

But, essentially, the server have to output a 404 HTTP Code and show that fancy 404 page to the user.

After all, the HTTPs codes exists to be used, and this is a important one!

Hope it helps! =]
