I built a site-map page. http://civilwarheritagetrails.org/site-map.html How do I connect it to entire site to be my "404" page for my site? |

It looks like it is already configured that way : http://civilwarheritagetrails.org/this-page-does-not-exist.html |

I don't have a page named "this-page-does-not-exist.html." I am newbie with html code. I am not getting it. I want my webpages forwarded to the site-map ONLY IF they have a problem publishing. I don't know how to use the url above. Sorry. |

Let's summarize. You want your sitemap page to be a 404 page. A 404 page is shown by the server when a page does not exist. Either because the visitor types a wrong URL or you link to a page with the wrong characters or any reason whatsoever. The link I provided is one such case. In stead, the 404 page is shown, which is yor sitemap page. That's what you want. |

If you click on the link in Jumbo's first post, it will take you to the Site Map page for your site. The /this-page... is an example of a visitor typing in the wrong page name. If you enter your url followed by /anything-that-is-not-your-page-name you will get your Site Map. /x, /123, /etc, /etc, /wwod. It looks like it is set up to do what you want it to do. If you have an example where it does not work correctly, please give it to us, we like to figure this stuff out. Most of us are learning and these questions/issues help us all learn. |

Thank you for your expertise. example: I purposely misspelled the home page and was NOT taken to my site-map The correct spelling has an "s" on the word "trails." This is a common misspelling and I don't know how to link misspelled urls to my site-map. Last edit 9 years ago |

You did not misspell your home page, you misspelled your domainname : http://www.civilwarheritagetrail.org/ instead of : http://www.civilwarheritagetrails.org/ |

See, without the s it is for sale : http://whois.domaintools.com/civilwarheritagetrail.org Why not buy that domainname too and redirect it to the one with the s in it. |

Do not follow links on a webpage. Here are two explanations : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow http://www.robotstxt.org/meta.html |

If you want common misspelling of your url to go to a site map- you need to buy each url/domain name and point those to a site map. It can get very expensive very quickly. I know business owners that do that, but they capture all those customers. Example: www.sincraft.com www.sgncraft.com www.signcaft.com If you owned www.signcraft.com, and owned those, you would get the traffic from those misspellings or any others you buy and set up to point to your site. Right now, if someone spells a Page Name incorrectly, or you link incorrectly, they get the Site Map. The whole url/domain/traffic business is big business so no search engines give free traffic to your site, you have to pay in money or time Last edit 9 years ago |
