@Paul: Good on you for taking action!

@Santa: Yes I have. Thought I’d list areas that are less talked about. Talking about 404 pages, don’t forget the other error pages too like 500 – 503 errors. I’ve also done on 401 and 403 pages. The 403′s are great because they keep people out of the folders that you don’t want them snooping in. Tell people to go to the ‘front door’ on 403′s.

Excellent ideas, really shows up some missed opportunities and I will be taking steps to implement these on a few sites.

Hi Lynette,
have you thought about monetizing the 404 errorpage?
When done cleverly, an affiliate product can be sold that relates to words in the not found URL. On one of my sites I have a product promoted on the 404 page brings in 2 or 3 sales per year – not much but it works.

Btw, only 78 days until Christmas – Are your sites ready for the holidays?
And have you already plannes your Chrsitmas Vacations?

Thanks for these helpful pointers… It’s easy to overlook the obvious sometimes and I found these ideas most helpful in terms of making best use of things like logout and confirmation pages.

Thanks again
Joe

The idea to put an affiliate offer on the logout page is fantastic. One of my sites is a members only site and all they see when they log out is the words, “you have been logged out”. Me thinks I may be leaving money on the table. Thanks for the tip!
