Anyone have any thoughts on what the best practice is with your 404 not found pages?
Should I just do a redirect to the home page, or simply notify the person that the page wasn't found and suggest other items that might be of interest?

    A redirect is probably not a good practice. It notifies
    the visitor of nothing.

    It is best to do a custom page with a short message, like:

    "That page is no longer available. Here are some links to pages
    you may like."

    Then give the same links as on your main page, or some combination.

    But I would not recommend those type unless you have a very huge and
    popular website.
