Hello folks, I am looking for an easy and simple script to alternate my web pages. Unfortunately Google Website Optimizer will not perform this task because my "thank you" page is on another domain. So I am looking for a simple script to do A/B alternating on my homepage. Thanks guys
Is your site scripted? If it's just static ( i.e. truly .htm pages ), I can't think of anything. But if it's scripted in PHP, ASP, or ASP.NET or something else dynamic ( hits on the server first ) then I can think of some ways to go about this. Essentially, I'm thinking create a function that would determine the alternating pattern -- wether strict 50% random, every other hit (would require a tiny bit of data to track), based on odd or even minute hit, etc. Then transfer to the page the function determines. I say "transfer" because I'm a Windows/ASP/ASP.NET guy, so in that environment you can do a transfer to another page at the server -- not in any way anything like a redirect, and completely undetectible by search enginges. Otherwise I'd suspect you would need something at the web server level, whether IIS, Apache, or what have you. The more I think about it, the more I wonder how crucial it is to avoid a redirect.
I use HTML unfortunately so I am not sure if I can do anything dynamically. I am basically looking to rotate the front pages. They are both almost exactly the same but they link to different pages. Thats the only difference.
Hi, Google Website Optimizer can work if your goal page is on different landing page, You need to use linkbypost function to pass the cookie value to the same domain there are few code changes that needs to happen. if you need exact specs on how to get that done, You need to provide me with the URLs ! Thanks,Ravi
