Does google allow adsense on the 404.php page?

I have had a quick look through google but can’t really determine if they allow this or not.

Great information on setting up the 404 page, thanks

This looks really good. Is there any way you could use this code to redirect the user to custom 404 pages based on the country they are coming from? Or does anyone know of something like this?

Hi.. I wanted to use the 404.php file as above with the atahualpa theme but where ever i put the file it doesnt work.

My problem is that a lot of old pages are still in google (like http://www.testmybroadband.co.uk/?m=200902)on a clients blog, and i want to redirect to the home page.

This theme does not have a 404.php file to start with….

help?
thanks

Thanks for that. I’ve been meaning to get my 404 to redirect to my homepage for ages now.

Thank you so much for this info. I have been trying to find out how to do this for a long time. I couldn’t work out why the usual .htacces method didn’t work. Now I do thanks again.

Estatiktik, your errors are either theme or hosting account related. Your theme may not have a 404.php file or your hosting account is overriding it. And without a link to your blog all I can do is guess.
