Note that both of these require you to be an unscrupulous stealer of other peoples browser space. They also require the users arrive at your site first, and leave via your links (their own bookmarks or typed URLs will let them off the hook.) I don't know of a way (short of usurping a DNS server's authority) of getting hooked into their site from the first. I suppose if you ran a router between the site you wished to hijack and the viewer whom you've hijacked, you could, but we're talking MAJOR no-no (and lots of code) here.
It's not too difficult (in theory) to exploit some race conditions in recursive DNS lookups and to forge entries for sites. By doing this you should be able to redirect most sites to your site, from at least a selected audience.
