Nail them with more pop ups and toolbar installs and some spyware

**jawanda** · 02-12-2005, 11:08 AM

Make a hub page with links to your different galleries + more advertising... as long as you aren't giving away the money shot in each one eventually some of those surfers will signup. Or you could do a fake tgp type setup, same idea.

404 is one way

**X37375787** · 02-12-2005, 11:12 AM

you can setup a mod rewrite for google traffic coming from a referrer like

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search

and nail them to a dialer page, as it was previously suggested.

Are they browsing into your galleries from your main page, or directly from the SE?

OK then, well it's pretty easy to pare that down. You create an .htaccess file that says "if they come from one of these se's, and if they go directly into this gallery directory, use mod_rewrite to send them to my signup/tour page starting point". If you want I can post you a template here.

This works in Apache. You might need to tinker a bit depending on your circumstances. "---" are comments meant for you, don't include them in the file. Obviously, you want to put the correct domain names in. PUT THIS IN THE DIRECTORIES YOU WANT TO PROTECT, NOT ABOVE THEM.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://SE-domain.com/ [NC] [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.SE-domain.com/ [NC] [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://some-other-SE-domain.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.some-other-SE-domain.com/ [NC] ---and so forth...---
RewriteRule /* http://www.mydomain.com/payupfreeloader.html [R,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !^Mozilla.* [NC] ---this helps keep the autodownloader traffic to a minimum---
