Fine tuning 404 error traffic.
I see a lot of posts about redirecting 404 traffic to sponsors or somewhere. My question is: are most of the surfers that get those 404 errors (which are a lot) are surfers snooping around looking for something or are they just legitimate mistakes?

I am talking about a pay site so if there were a % of legitimate mistakes I would want them to go back to the index page not a sponsor. Now if they were snooping I would want them sent somewhere else, not index.

Just wanted anybodies $.02.

Thanks

why not check the referrer? if coming from your site, send it to the home page, else send it to the sponsor...

How do you set that up? Through .htaccess

Just add this to your htaccess

ErrorDocument 400 http://www.domain.com/error.html
ErrorDocument 401 http://www.domain.com/error.html
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.domain.com/error.html
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com/error.html
ErrorDocument 500 http://www.domain.com/error.html


error html is a FPA for some sponsor, or you can take it out and send them to your front page.

Cool but can/how do you redirect 404 traffic FROM your site to the home page and redirect 404 traffic NOT from your site to a sponsor?

This is what I already have in an .htaccess file. How would I incorporate the rest of the (above) script? I tried some different things but could not get it to work. Kept going to the RewriteRule's url.
Thanks

deny from 24.128.16.113

This script won't let any traffic in...

If your NOT from yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com than redirect to full-page-ad-or-sponsor.com

I'm I missing something here? Input from anyone that can help.
Thanks
