   | Q. about redirecting traffic domain OK, here we go, Lets say I buy a domain from one of you guys that gets say 100 hits a day. Let's say the domain is horsemuffins.com The stats for this domain shows that the traffic is not just coming from the basic domain horsemuffins.com... most of the traffic is coming from say horsemuffins.com/classifieds.php, horsemuffins.com/help.php, horsemuffins.com/contact.php... and all these other variations of the domain. So if I get the domain and want to redirect all the traffic to my own website, do I just need to redirect the 'root' domain, or would I have to redirect all those damn variations of the domain aswell in order to get all the traffic I can get? ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/parking-and-traffic-monetization/26819-q-about-redirecting-traffic-domain.html Get my drift?  |

  | Well, it would be optimal to have all the possible combinations forwarding to capitalize on the traffic, so that you don't miss any of it. .edu mentioned using 404s, which are the error pages at that site, but those will quickly cause the search engines to remove those listings, reducing some/all of the traffic. This may have already started happening if those pages don't exist. I would recommend using ModRewrite, but if you go the 400 way, then just make the custom 404 page a redirect to the site you want and it will forward any URL at that domain to your own site. |

| Aw SH--  So I went against your advice, Anthony... I basically uploaded a page to my 404 page, so I could make use of all that 404 traffic... ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=26819 It was fine for the last 3 days or so, Then today, total dropoff in traffic I think what I did caused the SEs to start deleting my search results I'm sorry I didn't heed your advice Anthony... now I am paying the price. Does anyone think there is a way to reverse the process? Or am I screwed I hate this. |
