Sometimes when you delete or change a post, that post is deleted from the blog but the search engine keeps indexing that link always. Which happens when a visitor clicks on that deleted link in the search engine. So that error gets redirected to 404 Page Not Found! In today's post, I will tell you about how to redirect Error 404 Page Not Found. There are many new bloggers who often keep repeating the question that even after deleting the post, why is the search engine indexing it?
Why does Google index delete posts?
I tell you because everyday information about more than 30 Crore new things is searched on Google! And you know that 60% of Google Search Engine is used in the World Wide World. Google Bot Per Day indexes the pages of many sites and blogs! Due to a large number of links and pages, he cannot find and delete Broken Links in a single day! That's why sometimes it takes months and sometimes the links get removed from the search engine within 2 days.
If you want, you can also remove those deleted links from Search Console And can't even get them indexed by Google bot! But it is a bit difficult to understand, so I will tell you about it in full detail in a new post! Google has clearly said that Error 404 Page Not Found does not affect the page rank of the blog.
But you can't even ignore it because not fixing it somewhere creates a problem. And even if Google claims not to affect the page rank, what about the visitor? If he wants to read about that post and the page shows Error 404 Page then he will be in trouble. And they will not visit your blog again.
