404 Not Found? Turn 404 Error Page into Profit!
A 404 error occurs whenever someone requests a URL that is not on your server. Either they have mistyped something, or you moved or deleted a document that used to be on your web site.
So why lost this traffic?
With two-three simple lines of code you can redirect 404 traffic to a sponsor and make money automatically:
sample redirects:
with .htaccess :
404notfoundredirect .htaccess sample #1
#404notfoundredirect
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yoursponsor.com/?youraffiliateidhere
with .htaccess Apache's mod-rewrite:
404notfoundredirect .htaccess with Apache's mod-rewrite sample #3
If http://www.examplesite.com/url/file.html does not exist,
redirect to http://www.examplesite.com/index.php
Put this in your site .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.yoursponsor.com/?youraffiliateidhere
all wrong hits will be redirected to your site http://www.yoursponsor.com/?youraffiliateidhere
