404 Not Found? Turn 404 Error Page into Profit!

Easy way to make money from Error 404.

A 404 error occurs whenever someone requests a URL that is not on your server. Either they have mistyped something, or you moved or deleted a document that used to be on your web site.

So why lost this traffic?

With two-three simple lines of code you can redirect 404 traffic to a sponsor and make money automatically:

sample redirects:

with .htaccess :

404notfoundredirect .htaccess sample #1
#404notfoundredirect
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yoursponsor.com/?youraffiliateidhere

with .htaccess Apache's mod-rewrite:

404notfoundredirect .htaccess with Apache's mod-rewrite sample #3
If http://www.examplesite.com/url/file.html does not exist,
redirect to http://www.examplesite.com/index.php

Put this in your site .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.yoursponsor.com/?youraffiliateidhere

all wrong hits will be redirected to your site http://www.yoursponsor.com/?youraffiliateidhere

with javascript (put this page instead of moved/deleted page on your site)

Go To Sponsor





<br /><body><br /><a href="http://www.yoursponsor.com/?youraffiliateidhere"><br />Please Visit my site sponsor</a><br /></body><br />


redirect with php:
