If a company can no longer supply a certain product, does Google hate it when the page is just deleted from the site? Do too many 404 errors count against the site?<br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18012046.post-35457590087030258452009-10-02T08:23:06.956-07:002009-10-02T08:23:06.956-07:00Great post on a topic I hadn't thought of for ...Great post on a topic I hadn't thought of for GA. Two questions--on the tracking code example, it looks like it would prepend 404: to all pages. Is there something there I'm missing that would only prepend to actual 404 errors? Also, is this a secondary GA profile used to manage this or would you do this in the main profile?
