Does Google treat 404 and 410 status codes differently?

Does Google do anything different when encountering a 404 versus a 410?

Google handles a 404 status code slightly differently than a 410. Here's a video with the details.

Thank you. However, it would be nice to see the 410s and 404s SEPERATELY in Google Webmaster Tools. Since in most cases, webmasters are aware of 410s, but NOT always of the 404s.

We currently have huge lists with 410s, and we almost never look at it because it would be too time consuming to find the valuable 404s between all the uninteresting 410s.

My website is going to go down for 4-5 days, will this have a negative impact on SEO mid to long term?

my website is showing 410.when it come back!!!

[RichardHaussmann]

Is there any additional authority given for a site that uses a 410? The webmaster is going out of his/her way to communicate the page information is not longer active/available. I would think that the algorithm would "reward" honesty (and taking the time to configure a 410) rather than 301 redirect to a "kind of, sort of" similar page to avoid losing "link juice."

I have a URL that serves 410 since years, but since there's an external link to it I can't remove or modify, Google continues to scan it and reports it as error (since years) in GWMT. What about this case?

I tried going to a page titled Home Alone Joe Pesci Is Toht? and I ended up getting a 404 Not Found message instead of a 410 Gone.

When we might get an android app for webmaster, Is the webmaster team currently building one as there are many such great google apps.

Interesting: even 410 Google will check again if page is live again. Disappointed as I would use that code for expired products instead of using meta tag as per Craig list.

Awesome and informative video! Thank you!

I'm seeing different behaviour and wonder if it is no longer true, however. I'll ask my question here and maybe you can help!

So way back when I started my company, I used 99Designs to design the logo. I chose one design. All the runner-up designs were still live on 99Design. I didn't know anything about SEO and wasn't working on it. All those submissions and runner-up designs got crawled and show up in an image search on my company name.

Fast forward to today, many years later as I've learned some SEO and am working to be better at it, I found all these images. I managed to talk to 99Designs and they are great and now serve up a 410 (gone) error for all of them. They made that change a few weeks ago. All the images still show up on the "images tab" on keyword search of my company name though.

Is there a better way to fix this, or do I just have to be patient and let a few more weeks go by for Google Bots to stop indexing/crawling? This video suggests that they should have disappeared in 24 hours using the 410 error code....

Thank you in

What is the difference between #error404 and #error410 was treated by #Google?

[MelindadelosSantos]

Interesting ... I just looked up 410 in HTTP/1.1: Status Code Definitions (because I don't remember encountering a 410). I'd like to think of them now as Police Codes. 10-4. :D

*error 404 e 410 status*.. nel primo caso Google attende 24 ore prima di rimuovere la pagina, nel secondo viene rimossa subito.. #googlebot
