Ok most of you guys do galleries right?
now whether you do 1 or 12 galleries per day, stick to this system and you will have a good amount of 404 hits to play with!
use 1 domain for galleries. as well, use 1 folder named "gal" or "galleries" or whatever, i use "galleries" usually.
everytime you make a gallery, put it in a *numbered* folder!
now the trick to this is, give them all spaced out numbers! for example:
domain.com/galleries/3/index.html
domain.com/galleries/3/3.html
domain.com/galleries/3/7.html
domain.com/galleries/3/12.html
domain.com/galleries/3/17.html
now you make a new gallery, put it in a new numbered folder, again make it spaced out numbers! for example:
domain.com/galleries/14/index.html
domain.com/galleries/14/3.html
domain.com/galleries/14/7.html
domain.com/galleries/14/12.html
domain.com/galleries/14/17.html
Now that this is setup, its time to catch these hits! lets create an htaccess file.
make a file named .htaccess and upload it to /galleries/
**note - name the file EXACTLY as i have shown.
.htaccess
in this file, this is what you will add ....
ErrorDocument 301 http://www.whatever-page.com
ErrorDocument 401 http://www.whatever-page.com
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.whatever-page.com
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.whatever-page.com
ErrorDocument 500 http://www.whatever-page.com
and thats it! htaccess can get much more involved, but for the purpose of this excersize we will leave it as is. just enough to catch, and redirect your 404 hits. I would suggest sending them to either an email sponsor, or to a hub with an exit console. your choice.
Follow this system and in a VERY short period of time, you will have a decent amount of traffic at your fingertips. And to change sponsors all you need to do is change that one .htaccess file!
very simple, very effective, very profitable!
The way this works is that when a user goes to a free gallery, a lot of times he likes what he see's but doesnt want to sign up or pay for anything. so instead he tries to be slick and find your previous, or next gallery in the set.
hence, he falls right in your trap!
enjoy .. and stay tuned.
