I know that they use the leaving traffic, they say that is because of the protection plan and it makes them a little money back.
I suppose you are right, it really is ours but I am not really ure what to do with it anyway.
i have been trrying to configure exit console today and am not having much luck with that either, cgi and perl seem to defeat me time to go back to the books?

Hi Porsche....
Unless I am confused, you should not have to mess with cgi at your exit console....
What are you trying to accomplish ?
Generally speaking (and I am sure others will correct me if I am wrong) an exit console is a popup, sometimes a bit fancier, such as a poup with a couple of popunders launching at load time....
As far as your 404/403/40? traffic goes, if your host is taking it, they are stealing from you pure and simple.... There is definitely money to be made from surfers snooping around your site, or trying to break passwords....
I would be sending them directly to popup hell in a manner that forces them to click a join link to get out.... In addition, I would have those join links on a different page than your normal join pages, that way, you can continue to pop them if they don't join at that point...
If they are snooping the sight, at that point , in my mind, all is fair...
Force them to join or reboot....
But then again, thats just me........
