Will 404 errors affect search engine ranking?
 
I had actually set up joomla in my domain with the sample information. I now eliminated it and set up wordpress in my domain. There are a lot of 404 errors in my domain. Will they affect my online search engine positions. If so what should I do to prevent it?

No. yes if the 404 error page performed well previously in SERP and generated more visits from other sources.

Yes it will affect your ranking....but if you use 301 you can avoid it....
