A 404 page with something to click on to take them to the Home page or a Search page can make it a better UX for the genuine visitor. | |

I think Google will see a problem with a website having a lot of 404 errors, which is my concern. But I'm guessing it's quite a wide problem, blocking the WP-admin type links is a sensible idea. And already part of Admin Tools. | |
