Unadultered and Bare Naked…
Uhhhh, no. We wouldn’t put you through that much torture to show you us in our birthday suits… but this is about YOU. Well, us also…
Are YOUR 404 pages as naked as a porn star on their debut DVD? Are they as bare as Marge Simpson in this image? Well, then you gotta do something about it!
I was reading a great post over at Balkhis, Optimization of 404 Pages to Improve the Bounce Rate and thought to myself…
“hey…what does OUR 404 page look like…” so off I went to test it out at http://www.oibo.org/anything and my gosh! Was I shocked. It was as bare as…well, you know.
So we took some of Balkhis advice and pumped up our 404 page so that it isn’t so bare and just a little more inviting.
Now that your blog has been up and around for ages, why not take a look at what visitors see when they hit YOUR 404 page.
Is it PUMPED UP on steroids…er, links to content on your site? Or is it bare?
WHAT!! No related posts...

tep 404 optimization is vital; on my main site thenexus.tk i am pleased to say due to heavy tweaking my bounce rate is 0.64%! (yes0.!) and has yet to reach higher then the 10% mark. all i got to do now is make money from it!
Hi Don – that is amazing! It comes down to watching your logs, and looking at why people are leaving. If you can analyze them well enough and can tweak your site – BONUS! You’ve done very well keeping your bounce rate low. Well done!!
