Applying 404 Not-Found

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Check this 404 Not-Found page of Yahoo !!
http://www.yahoo.com/abcdefghijklmnop.html
This page will get redirected to homepage of Yahoo !! In 10 seconds using the below meta tag !!

< meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;url=http://www.yahoo.com/?l=1211971226" >

NOTE:
l=1211961175 is a auto generated key !! I suppose Yahoo is not using it right now but it will use it in future so as to redirect the visitor to the related available pages on yahoo !!

Benefit:
When a user coming from search engine or via some website will find that the page he/she is looking for does not exists !! He will probably leave the website redirecting him to the Home Page or to a page with related content matching to the keyword he/she was looking for !!

If you have any query about applying this let me know !!

Google Catalog

So i just noticed this at Google Catalogs which is at its beta stage right now !!

Lets take an example there search “Computers“. It will show all catalogs from its DB !! Now click on any of them !! Yes this is strange !!
Computer catalog

You can see the word Computers Highlighted on all of the catalogs !!

So do we conclude that Google has discovered something with the help of which it can read whats written over a Image ???

Let me know your precious idea’s and comments about this ;)
