Here's what I want to do...

Send traffic to domain.com and have the visitor immediately redirected to either url1.com or url2.com

What is the most efficient way to do this?

    what determines whether you want them directed to either url1.com or url2.com ?

    Should be doable with a php script.

    Contact me if you'd like it done.

    Cheers!

    One way that works great is to create an index.php file containing this:

    Code:
    <?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.newdomain.com/page.html");
exit();
?>

      Not sure how that would answer his question, Gene.
      He wants to alternate which page the redirecting page redirects to.
      He hasn't stated a criteria of why it should go to one or the other.
      Waiting on that answer.

      Cheers!

        More or less "random"

        I just want to do things such as split test affiliate offers, without using a landing page

        If you just want it random not based on any criteria, this should work:

        <?php
        $randomnumber = rand(1,2);
        if($randomnumber == 1)
        header("Location: http://site1.com");
        else if($randomnumber == 2)
        header("Location: http://site2.com");
        ?>

    You could just set it up to alternate.

    I've never understood by people want to "randomize" rotators when simply going thru the rotation would seem to be more fair to me.

    I see Doug's got the answer for ya!

    Cheers!

      Sure, I'm just assuming that with large enough numbers, it will even out. Going through the rotation probably is more desirable.

      Thanks everyone

        Hi Scott,

        If you want the visitors to arrive at one specific url and then be redirected
        to multiple different urls while also attaining stats then you might want to

        This is Free and there is no sign up or subscriptions required to download and
        use the script.
