Yep as Nathaniell says, we could use the way to change the 404 error message. Thanks!

You then have a chance of getting some traffic. Even if it is not the 6000 monthly you see with the broken fragment key word phrase.

I edited the last page and added the training for the 404 error message there. Craig has a good video on that. :)

I'll just add that if any links are pointing to the old post, ie social media, links from other websites, or links from your own blogs, they will now return a 404 error to the old post and need to be updated.
