Script/Code/HTML for redirecting

[lbazso]

Hey Guys,

I am redirecting traffic to an url and from there I would like to create/copy a code/script/html (whatever works) so when the traffic comes in, it could not just redirect to 1 url but to randomly use one from a list of url's each time or every 5th time for example.

I hope I wrote it clearly. I am trying to explain it the best I can!

I would really appreciate some help or advise!

Thanks so much!

I use to have a php script that just picked a random url out of a text file to go to. Is this what your talking about ?

That sounds about right!

Does it redirect too?

Thanks in advance!

Never mind. I have found one and it works:

<script type="text/javascript">

var urls = new Array("http://www.url1.com/", "http://www.url2.com/");

function redirect()
{
window.location = urls[Math.floor(urls.length*Math.random())];
}

var temp = setInterval("redirect()", 1000);

</script>

That won't work for users without Javascript, of course.

here is a very simple example in php

<?php
$urls = file('urls.txt');
$rand = array_rand($urls);
header("Location: {$urls[$rand]}");
?>

in urls.txt make each line a url

this is just a simple example and should be put before output otherwise you technically could put ob_start() at the beginning and supress output

Better go the php way as above.

This is SEO suicide too, you know that right?

Yeah, I am aware of that. It has a different purpose.
