seo - Redirecting 301 for a /404.shtml page -
in terms of seo (and what's considered blackhat techniques google spiders), should avoid redirecting 404 traffic main page?
was thinking of adding line .htaccess file
redirect 301 /404.shtml /home.php
don't blanket redirect missing pages home page.
it's not blackhat technique, it's great way annoy bots have keep following redirects , work out if it's soft 404 or not. wasting time.
serve 404 pages when page not exist. , make 404 page helpful. if it's old page , there relevant page send people to, 301 redirect it.
