1. Never admit to thinking about selling links

2. Working in gambling, I've seen a lot of paid for links to gambling sites burn the pages they're on if it's from unrelated content (sigh, I shouldn't be honest, just going to make my job harder). Usually this'll just burn the PR of the page it's on, but sometimes can do damage to your whole site.

3. In the interests of disclosure (and as mentioned above) I would technically be a competitor working in the same sector, but if I approach you for links you should probably turn me down too

4. If you page is about casinos or slots or games or probabilities or something related then you might consider giving them a link, but again, don't admit to selling them, especially in a public forum. Linking out to relevant content isn't as bad (paid is still bad). If it's a body building site though (just going by your user name) I wouldn't.

5. If it was an advertising link you would have to nofollow it to adhere to Google guidelines, however I doubt the person wanting to buy it would agree.

6. And yes adding any extra links slightly reduces the value of the links you already have.

Well, I would recommend you alter the internal links to just point to the new '/' default, but in the meantime...

I would have thought your code would have worked, but every time I try it my site falls over. It might work for you though. Give it a try but test it straight away

I'll see if I can get a different version working on my test site for you if not

Hmm, maybe, I doubt the index.php is doing anything as if there's a index.html and index.php the .html takes precedence.

Check what's in the .php file, might be easier just to delete it.

Yeah, if it doesn't work you'll probably be faced with a blank page or you may get a 500 server error or maybe a 310. It should be obvious pretty fast
