    If you blog with WordPress (and have a Twitter account) you need WordPress plugin. You can easily get it from google. It will bring in significant traffic, automatically - using your great content. The plugin is free and will take just minutes to install and setup. Once its setup, just keep adding great content and the plugin will help bring in new readers from Twitter. It is extremely simple to use and works perfectly. Highly recommended WordPress plugin!

    yes, 301 permenant redirect will be good for this. Use htaccess and redirect all traffic to your required static page.

    
    Redirect 301 / http://example.com/your-static-page.html
    
    Code (markup):
    use this to redirect all user to a page

    Yes.. go for 301 redirect instead of using any plugin.

    You can install "404 Redirection" plugin. This will permanently redirect all "404 - Page not found " to the main blog URL.
