The subject of this thread is 404 traps. If you capture the 404 error and redirect to a console or two = no problem and smart. All your pages should. not all of mine do as we speak cause I moved to a new server for some sites and have to redue some .htaccess files.
If you put the surfer in a true trap, then that pisses me off as does any sort of malware. I have to fight this problem every day. Gallery submitters do all sorts of crazy things. Send you trojans, dial traps, console pages, galleries with no sponsor or recips (this one puzzles me, but happens daily), thumb links that lead to exit hell or traps. I use scripts and check manually.
