Here is the top level of those two URLs http://ppa.launchpad.net/

As you can see user/ is not at the next level. In place of 'user' you would need the directory name of the program developer for the application your entry was intended to access. What you seem to have there is a generic template for launchpad repos, not an actual one. If you know what app this was intended to reach, go back to their site and look for one that is specific to that developer's location within the link above.
