404 is an error which says which page you are looking on web is not try to use cache for it or rewrite url.

[C.Rebecca]

A 404 page or more commonly “not found page” is encountered when,
-user clicks on a broken link
-the page has been deleted
-user mistyped a URL
You should try avoiding 404’s since they lead to a bad user experience. You can create a custom 404 page for a good user experience

Its a page not found error. It is show when a user request for a webpage and the page is not on the server.

in countries which have an active policy of Internet censorship, error 404 could also stem from the blocking of the website you're trying to access.

Redirect all your 404 error pages to any of the page which is working so that Google might think that there are no 404 errors and your website will become 404 error free website and it also seo friendly website.

It's an error, mostly happens when the site looses it's track from the server.

404 or an error page is a page that you would show in case a user types in a wrong URL or a page that is not existing is being used for your domain. you can take advantage of this by providing users an option such as a search box for them to have an option to still use your site for whatever they may need instead of leaving and just searching for other relevant website.

Very Simple Answer 404 means webpage is not available on server

[0092directory]

When you come across a 404 error one of three things has probably happened:

* You have typed the address in incorrectly. Compare the address showing in the bar at the top of your screen to whatever your source was. If there are mistakes, fix them and try again.
* You have followed an old link to information that has moved. This is unfortunately all too common on the web because sites reorganise and disappear frequently.
* You have tried to access a page that your ISP (internet service provider) has blocked for including potentially illegal material on the recommendation of the Internet Watch Foundation.

Rebecca is correct. If your site contain this type of error then it is not good for your site from the point of view of user experience on your site and search engine when it crawl your website.
