Broken Incoming Links.

daddiosquared · 10-03-2011, 12:02 PM

I have a couple of dozen incoming links to my site that are broken. In other words sites have posted links to my site that never exsited. Does that effect Google rankings? Any Thoughts?
Thanks
Bob

Either do a custom 404 page (should be available in cPanel or equivalent) or since it sounds like you know the broken url, put some content up on that page or redirect it to a real one. Look up Google for 301 redirect and pick a method.

Redirect them all to the homepage with htaccess if its a Linux server.
