    Yahoo 404 pages and VBSEO

    basic problem details are here:
    yahoo and 404 pages - India Broadband Forum

    i am seeing that yahoo is indexing a lot of dead pages from my older forum...

    i have told vbseo to show visitors a custom 404 page. but reply delivered with this page is 200 which results in search engines indexing the 404 page.

    if i tell vbseo to show Send 404 HTTP code it works fine.

    can i combine the two options?

    You should add this code in your custom php 404 handler:
    PHP Code:
               header ("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found");
