Easiest way to rotate landing pages?

I did a few searches but I can't find a reliable method and was hoping you guys would know. Is there a way to send someone to a link and that link leads to either page A or page B automatically?

  • 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
  • The web optimizer is working ok, but I'm curious how to do it with php. Can someone point me in the right direction

    • 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

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

  • 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.

    • Google is the best way to find out some outstanding thing which every person need, even though the things which are not shown to the peoples, Google can show them to all over the world, and one thing more that warrior is also one of them where you can find some very class searches.
  • 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!
  • 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... :-)

    • 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"
  • I see this post is kind of old, but how could you do this with xsitepro?
