It is highly important for a successful webmaster to pay careful attention to the logfiles. You especially need to look at the error log file. With most Internet servers, an error log file will show pages people tried unsuccessfully to access. While sometimes entries appear due to the mistyping of an URL or other odd reasons, some of the entries may be caused by pages that have been deleted or incorrect links on some of your pages. Find errors and fix them immediately. If you do not have access to your error log, ask your administrator on how this file can be accessed.
