What's up with some 404 pages?
It seems that some webmasters feel that making a 404 page that is a console hell is in their best interest.
I know that some places teach that you should "beat the surfer into buying something" I'm not by any means convinced that this works. I know that when all kinds of shit starts popping up in my face I just start closing windows real fast without reading them.
If I go someplace to buy something and they try to stop me from leaving and keep on forcing my to try to buy something I just get pissed off and leave.
Anyway the reason that I mention this is often it is the reviewer that discovers your 404 page while doing reviews. People make coding errors, forget to upload files, etc.
Nothing pisses me off more then to get a shit load of consoles while doing my reviews and losing all the ones that I have already reviewed because of someone's console hell 404 page.
Just something to think about when deciding on how you are going to deal with your 404 traffic.
