Redirecting, 404, Oh, The Confusion

[ngb1959]

Can someone please help me.

I posted that I was taking down my sites, removing hardcore pics and banners, etc.

One of our kind LL owners here told me that I still have sites redirecting.

Ok, told him/her to just take my sites down cuz I'm confused.

Then he was nice enough to tell me that "It's a good idea to send it to a plain 404 page, not redirect it."

Please someone tell me what that means.

Do I have to change that ht access code thingy?

Here's what I have in it now:

RewriteEngine on

I think what they are saying is put:

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.dreamypleasures.com/2257404.html

you would have to put that in each directory that you removed -- lest you change your site default.

and then on that page say something like: The US Government doesn't want you to see this page, hit back to go back from whence you came.

Thanks for answering CD.

Something like this ??

OR

Something like this ???

I'm assuming that part was a joke.

Thanks

Are you related to Bill Shakespeare ?? You said lest and whence in the same post.

[cd34]

nah, I think the consensus is:

If you're going to redirect galleries, redirect them to a page that basically isn't a traffic pump. Give the surfer the chance to go back to the original site rather than just 'take' the traffic. Its a two-way street out there.

I read it somewhere this morning, but, cannot find the reference. Of course, I could be wrong.

Looks like you got the advice from others here...but noticed you have jcctopsites.com in your rewrite...which is (or rather was) my toplist. I just sold it including my joeyscuteclub to another so I can concentrate on 69toplinks and my 69topsites toplist....I am curious though, what site is it you had (or have) at jcctopsites??

[ngb1959]

Don't remember Goonie - but I'll take that off my htaccess file.

Have a good week.

Hi Nina,

No worries If you remember what it was and still want it online, you are welcome to send it over to my newer toplist 69topsites.com

You have a good week yourself
