If they know how to look for open directories.. what do you think the chances of selling to them is?? I would say it is close to non-existant.

- Protect your dirs - your server should be setup to do that

- Have a nice 404 page that says the link is not found and offers them an option back to your front page or to a sponsor

- Get back to work
