URL rotator script

Chris Worner · 06-26-2010, 06:19 PM

I dont suppose any of you fine programmers can recommend a url rotator for split testing a squeeze page?

Cheers

Few months ago, I wrote a simple script that allows me to put in a list of Urls then the script starts visiting the Urls one after the other.

All you have to do is add the Urls, the times you want to spend on each page and you're done.

If you are interested I can sell you a copy of the script for only $9.99.

This script helps me improve my Alexa ranking and get more exposure to many of the pages that don't receive any hits in my website.

Looking forward to hearing more from you

Many URL rotator scripts, rotate links randomly because it's very easy to create one to do that. That will work fine for you if you get a lot or traffic to your site, since theoretically the more hits you get the better the chances of each page getting the same number of hits.

If you are not getting a lot of traffic, a sequential link rotator will split the traffic evenly, giving you better split test results.

When I had a need for a sequential link rotator and couldn't find one, I created my own :-)

With my URL Rotator you send traffic to one URL, and it rotates the traffic to different URL's that you have defined in the admin panel.

Thanks,
Mike

Don't forget that if you have a flow or session, when doing split testing you should always try to tag the user in some fashion (cookie or url variable) to maintain a consistent approach. While straight round-robin does distribute traffic evenly it also creates an inconsistent user experience. Making sure when a user returns to the site they get whatever page they were originally displayed is the best way user experience. This also holds true for flows where you may have two different flows you are testing.

very good, thank you very much!

I have a javascript function that rotates a random quote, but it's kinda the same thing. I threw this together out of my head. It's pretty simple and should work (hopefully).

Code:

var maxsiteNo = 3
var site= new Array()

site[0] = 'landingpage1.html'
site[1] = 'landingpage2.html'
site[2] = 'landingpage3.html'
window.location = site[Math.round(Math.random() * maxsiteNo)]);

Do you need any type of tracking? I assume you want to know which page is converting.

If that's the case give UltraTrack a try. Easy to install and configure. Once that's done just enter your url's in the list and place a small bit of code in the thank you/confirmation page and you're done. You can set up multiple campaigns!

how do you put the links in??? example if you have 200 links do you have to enter them 1 by 1 or there is a window were you can copy paste the 200??? that is the problem i am having with the one i bought

If your intention is to split test why not just use a split testing product?

Google website Optimizer or a better paid product like VWO has way better benefits than just a rotator script.

Bump and slight hijack of the thread, but anyone have or know of any URL rotators that can be setup based on IP? I would like to be able to direct traffic to a specific page based on where the IP is located.

easily done but you will need a product to obtain location data based on IP
ip2location.com is one.. however if you are using cloudflare for your website the country code is also passed on in the headers

This URL Rotator still work? Any enhancements/changes since 2010?

Thanks,
