Yeah GG that's what I was thinking but I'm yet not sure of his understanding of 404 traffic.

So, OKN, even with problems corrected, you still get some noisy buggers tryin to snoop in where they shouldn't. These guys usually try to fill links by hand, based on the structure of the site in which they're in allready and they get to a custom 404 Eror page with sponsor links on it. So this is like 1% of your traffic. Add some 1-2% more for the surfers which come to your site from a bad link, and get to a 404 Error page - you've got 3% of the total traffic tops. THIS is 404 Traffic. Is this it?

If so, I wouldn't worry about it. Convert the other 97% and you'll be okay. That's what you need to be focusing on getting sponsors for, no the 404 little guys. Just put a FPA there, or a custom jump page with a few categories/sites for them to choose from, and link them to the same sponsors you're linking in your freesites, that ought to do it...
