I suppose you’re right about the media coverage too – though I don’t know how many of these major corporates actually track blog mentions. They should!

Having a good 404 is essential, and can even mean you get some media coverage (like this, for example).

I give the user the option of returning to the home page, point out the pages navigation menu at top, and point out a site search box. I also list the last 10 posts to the blog. Have a look: tuleydocs.com/oops

Yes, I like that, and I think you’ve got very graceful exit options (search, full nav, useful links, branding, etc). And I love the header.

Do you think it’s easier for those of us who’ve built their sites on WordPress to provide a cleaner 404? I’ve identified some good 404’s above, but there are a lot that are significantly less helpful.
