Easiest way to rotate landing pages?

14 years ago

You may find G's Website Optimizer of good value - it's free. It will allow you to A/B split test your landing pages. If you're looking for something less robust (ie: rotating text, images, etc) then any rotator script might do.

Check out www.google.com/websiteoptimizer for the Optimizer; and check out HotScripts.com for any rotator script.

JaggyJay gave good advice. You can also do it with PHP pretty easily.

Do you want to just randomly rotate between two pages even if the visitor has been there before, or do you want to have a repeat visitor go to the same page each time they return, and new visitors get sent to one of the two pages the first time?

I think jay nailed it. Just a simple method to if you click a link, you'll randomly get a or b. I don't need anything fancier than that for right now

Thanks

Change your index.php file to read like this:

<?PHP
$pages = array("page1.php","page2.php"); //use real page names. As many as you want.
$choice = rand(0,count($pages)-1);
$location = urlencode($pages[$choice]);
header("Location: $location");
?>

Thanks lisa but do you know a way I can tweak that so I can lead it to a page without it putting in the link url before the page url

What I mean is when I go to the php link, it goes to hxxp://w3.linkurl.com/hxxp://www.page1.com and I want it to just lead to hxxp://w3.page1.com

Thanks

On second read, I think I understand what you are saying. What values are you putting in for $page1 and $page2?

Thanks

hah yea sounds kind of weird. I have a WP blog installed so I'm using that to create the pages. So the actual address is mysite.c0m/blog/page1 etc so I was using that for $page1, page2, etc

I tried changing $pages to $url, but didn't work

Thanks

I can see where your confusion is. Where I wrote:

$pages = array("page1.php","page2.php"); //use real page names. As many as you want.

I meant you to use the actual names of the actual pages you wanted to rotate.

So, lets suppose, you had a page called "I-Like-To-Fish.php", and once called "I-Like-To-Hunt.php"

You would write the code like this:

$pages = array("I-Like-To-Fish.php","I-Like-To-Hunt.php");

Is that clear now?

Yea the problem is I need to make html or php landing pages. I thought I could use the redirect with WP pages but it doesn't work. Like in my example, I have mysite.com/blog and I have mysite.com/blog/LP1, mysite.com/blog/LP2, and mysite.com/blog/LP3. If I use the php code, I'd need the index file in the /blog folder which would break WP since I was overwriting it's index file. Putting the index file in another folder, like /lp, will cause it to go to mysite.com/lp/lp1 which doesn't exist

Like I said I'll convert them over to html later on and do it that way but now i need bed.

Thanks

Yep, you're right on that. I just saw the WP reference.

I'm not sure I understantd what you are asking, or maybe you don't understand what I wrote.

That code will take a visitor directly to whatever page comes up in rotation without them seeing or clicking at link. All they have to do is land at index.php. The script automatically redirects from there.

If that's not the answer to your question, please rephrase and try again.

Thanks

Thanks again for all the help. I finally ended up just making a javascript redirect on my conversion page that just leads to the vendor offer. Not exactly what I wanted as I wanted to see how well each individual landing page helped convert into a sale, not a click.

I guess I'll try making some html pages later on but I need sleep!

Thanks

I personally use hypertracker.com and google website optimizer.

If your going to use hypertracker to do it.

I'd suggest you make this be your index page.

<html>
<head>
<title>Add your page title here</title>
<META
http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.PlaceHyperTrackerLinkHere.com">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">

<center>Connecting you now...
</center>
</body>
</html>

You can change the amount of time that this
redirecting page is displayed by changing the
number in the refresh content="0 portion of
the meta tag statement...

So if you want it to redirect in 5 seconds, make it look like this...

<html>
<head>
<title>Add your page title here</title>
<META
http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.PlaceHyperTrackerLinkHere.com">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">

<center>Connecting you now...
</center>
</body>
</html>

Anyway. That's how I do it... :-)

Thanks

I have a java redirect that's the same thing. I just also put a link in so it says "taking you to xyz.com. Click here if it doesn't work"
