Ad rotation script

Alex Frei · 11-28-2011, 01:15 AM

Fellow warriors, I solute you!

I'm creating a offer (CPA) site and I'd like to use a clever link rotation script.
Namely, I need to track the performance of different links within my site (no network banners etc).

For example, on the main page I have 3 links with images:
5 steps to super-strong abs
The biggest stamina secret of the best marathon runners
Get ripped quick

So, I need to test which of them gets more clicks from the main page.
Also, it could be good to have like 20 headlines and test them all, discarding the ones that underperform.

Is there an existing solution for this problem?

UPD: Ok, I had a few ideas. One, use split-testing script, but it's a whole lot of work for a wordpress side. The upside is customization of the html code. Another idea is a heavy-duty rotator script that porn sites used to deploy to rotate images a few years ago.

sure, first of all, do you have database access or do you need to post to a writable file?

DB is by far more efficient and you can achieve that script in around 30 lines of code or less.

Yes, I have access.

You're suggesting to have something custom-made?

Just a thought...I am sure there is some out of the box stuff out there but most of that has so many "features" that you don't even need and by the time you figured out how to upload it, set it, customize it to what you need, you could have had the code already written in about 20 minutes.
