Google is getting on my nerves
I have uploaded my sitemap to google, and when i go to verify the sitemap, it gives me this error:
NOT VERIFIED We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (OK) in the header. I cant figure out, what going on. I have deleted all custome error pages, tried but still didn't work. There is something i noticed though, whenever i type: http://www.mydomain.com/page_does_not_exist.html It takes me to the main page, its not redirection, i guess, because the URL does not change to http://www.mydomain.com. Any help will be highly appretiated. |

I'll move this to the SEO forum for you. Also, it might be very useful if you actually specified your real domain name here so people can verify whether the problem is on your end or google's end (personally, I think the problem is on your end
) and offer advice.

Your 404 redirects to a valid page- your homepage. That's why it returns a 200 'error' code.
What is the domain name? I'll try to trouble shoot for you.

I should mention: this does _not_ seem to be a google error. This looks like an error on the part of whoever maintains your website.

just need to change your 404 page to have a header of 404 and it'll clear up.

You should really have a dedicated 404 page and not redirect to the homepage. |

I get the homepage, but not a redirection. desiratner.com/404.php and 404.html produce some different things( I just tried those randomly) the php one is a blank page and the html one produces the homepage with no content in the center. Do those files exist?

are you redirecting everything to a single file and respond with 200 for any kind of request?

Here
The script is automatically redirecting every bad 404 request back to main page index.php and that is whats exactly caugin the problem. I want 404 error to show error page, not rewrite to index page
![]() BLACKDENTON: only 404.php exists, not 404.html ... |
