Re. Purchasing domain names with traffic.

[domainicanicanica]

I've recently purchased a few expiring domain names that have links on hundreds of other sites. I've pointed the names to an adult site I have, and am getting some decent traffic.

I'm now looking to purchase other domain names with links on other sites, but I have a question.

For instance, let's say I found a domain name -- "@@@@.com" -- and found from various sources that it had links to it from hundreds of other sites. So far so good.

But when I checked it out I found that these links were actually along the lines of "@@@@.com/category1/picture1.jpg".

And of course, both the "category" and the "picture" were different on almost all the links.

So the problem is, if I buy the name "@@@@.com" and point it to my adult site, then anyone clicking on "@@@@.com/category1/picture1.jpg" will arrive at a non-existant page.

Is there any way to resolve this?

Many thanks in advance.

yep
make a customised 404 Page which auto refreshs and redirects to the proper page.

I have similar situation like yours on this domain:
cpm-ccc.com

It listed in yahoo under two categories but both of them
pointing to a different folders in that domain:
http://search.yahoo.com/search/dir?p=cpm-ccc.com

After I regged it when it dropped, I created the same folders
which will do the trick.

You can do this with your situation. Just make this directory
and file:
"@@@@.com/category1/picture1.jpg"

You can put a intro image there or simply redirect to your main site.

In this case .. you can use .htaccess (assuming your are in unix machine) to redirect traffics. I have never done this before but it should work.

goodluck,
