Using cmd's short-circuit && and || operators:

wget.exe -q www.someurl.com && (
  echo OK
) || (
  echo Not there
)

If the statements are short, you can make this into a one-liner

wget.exe -q www.someurl.com && ( echo OK ) || ( echo Not there )

This method only notes if the exit code is zero or nonzero. If you need the actual exit code, use the if statements in Stuart Siegler's answer.

something like this:

wget.exe -q www.someurl.com
if errorlevel 1 (
   echo not there
) ELSE (
    echo ok
)

the error can be printed with

    echo Failure  is %errorlevel%
