I know Monte from speaking at the same SEO conferences, and he is frequently trying to pick up ladies so I hope he has better luck with this new venture, the opening of UK Local Search.
This is built on the success created by AussieWeb Local Search in Australia, which is a
HitWise Top 10 local search engine in Australia.
All ready the site is showing up on the first page of a Google search in the UK for Local Search, so things look promising!
If you need to find businesses to work with in the UK, this is a great resource, and we wish him the best of luck. (With the ladies too!)
A 404 “Page Not Found” error page looks after expired pages, URLs that are misspelt, cropped by email programs (extremely common) or any other request that comes to the web server that there is no file set to handle.
Having good 404 error handling as a catch-all is recommended, as 404 error pages are almost always amongst the most visited pages on a site.
An excellent 404 error page, and one that we recommend copying, is the Apple 404 error page: www.apple.com/not-real.
This page has the following excellent features:
- The standard navigation
- A search box to find stuff on the Apple site.
- Links to common sections and areas.
- An explanation of the problem.
- Ads – it is usually a popular page, so use it to sell!
