smurfy Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Can anyone help rectify a problem? I run a ClipBucket website and have received a notification from Google that they are receiving a 200 instead of a 404 Error message when their robots find a video URL that no longer exists on my site. My website is constantly being penalized by way of its rank because of this. If you can help, please can you look at this video URL that no longer exists to see what I mean. When you visit this none existing video link, it gives a Video Does Not Exist message instead of giving an 404 Error. http://smurfymonkey.com/Meine-Katze-...vs-Sound_v8835 Help would be much appreciated as I can not afford to pay anyone to do this for me and I have no understanding of php.

Christian F. Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 You need to read up on HTTP status error codes (in this case it's quite simple, as you only want to return a HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found), as well as the PHP functions header () and is_file (). Not the most complicated of tasks, but without any source code no-one can do anything.
