how to do this? re: htaccess
So one of my servers is getting 23% of its traffic coming from Yahoo. That means around 5000 uniques a day. Great? Nope. Traffic comes from Yahoo Video, so it's 100% wasted traffic and free porn for surfers.
Now I came to this idea. AFAIK, you can't do a referrer based redirect via .htaccess redirecting to anything else than an image. This means no html. But what if you place a file parsing directive? Something like
or whatever. Is it possible? If so, is it possible to parse files this way *ONLY* when coming from some specific referrer like Yahoo? If so, how?
Assuming this can't be done, do you know of any solution to this that don't imply to block Yahoo? I mean, keeping the traffic but instead of serving the videos, just send the surfer to a page?
