Would you use a 404 trap?
 

I hate popups, exit console hell and the like, I don't think they really make for more sales.

In the interest of more income though, thinking about a 404 exit trap?

Exit management is important. So an exit console can be ok. Esp an offer for a trial or whatever.

I'm talking about TGP traffic here. A deleted gallery whould put them in the trap, not sure I like that...


discuss please.

I don't know. I think it depends on what kind of traffic you have. If you have bookmarkers it's too risky.

yep 30% bookmark traffic and growing SE traffic

conversions have been for shit recently - last couple of weeks

Send your 404 traffic to my click-thru program, Impure Thoughts.

You get $35 for each 1000 clicks you produce and you don't have to worry about maintaining any kind of ratios.

:winkwink:

Exits do make money. I use them regularly and sparingly.

On the main or internal pages of TGPs, I think that's a bad idea, however, on paysite close and full page ad close, the work great.

I use text/tables etc to make my pages. My pages all load under 6 seconds flat over 28.8 even on some of them I use a few thumb accents.

I also cookie my pops. if=seen then go to other.url, becuase with the amount of pop traffic that I have, surfers are bound to see it more than once sometime, from some other full page ad somewhere. If they're cookied, then they get to look at a diffetent ad this time, and next time and next, etc.

Exits work great. traps do not, IMO.

epiccash's hosted 404 trap does great.

Yes. My policy is to never delete a gallery. If I have to change the sponsor, I change the full page ad and since all content and ad materials are mine, fuck-em... however, surfers WILL snoop thru urls.

That 404 gets sold.
