When a user clicks on a link to a page that does not exist, cannot be found, or has been deleted, the webserver returns a 404 error (page not found). Since generic messages can be frustrating, it is recommended to create a custom 404-error page containing useful information relavant site.

Using the 404-Google widget, suggested information is automatically displayed instead of the usual error message.

This widget searches your website, and provides similar links to the user when he or she tries to access a page that cannot be found, or doesn't exist.

This allows users to easily find important information, and it reduces the probability that they leave the site and search elsewhere.

Example:

If a visitor types in a URL ( such as http://www.example.com/example.html), and the webserver cannot find that page, (example.html)

a webpage will be displayed with links similar to the one typed in, if any exist.
