Why do I have so much 404 traffic?

2k a day of 404 traffic seems really steep. WTF are they doing as I never remove pages or do any of the things people do to make 404 traffic.

This is non paysites so it is not people looking for memebers areas.

Why are you complaining or even questioning free traffic?

I notice the same thing, and in my instance it was crawlers looking for robots.txt, which I don't have. Also, I think that MSIE looks for favorite.ico when it hits your site, and if it isn't there that counts as a 404 as well.

no, you are wrong.. MSIE looks for favorite.ico only when you have favicon tag in page source

I get a bunch of 404 traffic from freesites and galleries, nothing ever deleted, but if you have URLs like anal/free01/index1.html many surfers seem to try to play with the numbers to find more free porn

I always make sure that there isn't a 02 after a 01, a 05 maybe, then a 11, don't let them figure out a way to find more for free

Nope, when someone bookmarks the site IE looks if there is a favicon.ico.
When you upload an icon (I think Apache) sends it automatically to the browser when the page is loaded.

You could send your 404 traffic to my click-thru program, Impure Thoughts.

.1 cent is what my 404 traffic is making. That sound about right?

Best way to beat the snoopers and get a decent amount of free traffic
