Hi

I have a property website with the Permalinks plugin installed (I do not think this is relevant but thought it worth mentioning)

Some of my old listings are still indexed by Google, but the property in question has since been deleted. However when someone clicks on the link Google has -  http://www.comparedirect.eu/property/listingDetail.php?DO1615338-25479   they get a "Record not found!" error code.

My SEO person has said it would be better to handle this differently and asked could this not show a "404 page not found" error page instead (I have a custom 404 page setup and this works when going to a page not recognised but not when clicking the link from Google)

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards

Andy
