Value of Custom Pages, 301 page importance,

Value of a custom Page:

A lot of webmaster ignores the value of this very important feature. Ever think when some one comes to your site and he finds a dead page. He would immediacy close the site and would browse other resource of similar content.
This mean you lost a visitor, who would neither himself come to the site again neither he would tell any one to come to that site, Because it is seen a common behavior of peoples when they visit a site they tell many peoples about the importance of that site so sites keep getting good number of quality visitors. I would give a practical example of this fact.
A have a mobile phone nokia nseries. He searches downloads and if find easy to download, he would suggest others to go get nokia nseries stuff from that site, same like that this is human nature we do free advertising of those things which satisfy us, and the ignoring of your website custom error page is a biggest mistake you do, Because you have option to customize it according to your site color scheme so the visitor don’t feel that he have reached some where else, Actually a customized 404 error page will deliver a good message on the reader rather then making his mind about a bogus dead page.
Same like that a site map also help the user to continue browsing the same resource, search box, easy navigation are other factors which should be consider worthy when finalizing a web presence.
Creating a well designed custom error message page not only keep your client in the site but it delivers also a good impression on search engine and its in your website’s SEO favors. By time the pages on the site keep moving and removed so when a search engine crawler returns to your webpage to reindex it, so it find those non-existent pages, they will have a great variety of links if you set site map as custom error page of your site,
There is a plain method to test whether a website have a custom page or not, Go to the website address bar write the full url and write a nonsense file name after the full domain. You will know whether a custom page is set for this specific website or that webmaster is ignoring the value of it.
