their old contact page and try those to get a response,email may still work even if the site is taken down, failing that do detective work on the owners name through social sites like flickr etc.

Great idea! I was just randomly typing in cool URLS’s and the amount of them that are actually dormant is frightening. It is a simple matter to get hold of the owners and negotiate a possible deal.

In reference to:

“You can also find old websites that have stopped working through neglect using searches for typical ASP and PHP errors which can turn up some real gems!”

What are some typical ASP and PHP errors? Any examples?

That is an interesting way to do it Scott. I’m sure that through hard work there will be some gems but as Adam also says, it might be a time stealer to find contact emails that actually work.

Use archive.org to see if there was a contact email or address listed on their old contact page and try those to get a response,email may still work even if the site is taken down, failing that do detective work on the owners name through social sites like flickr etc.
