Rotating Text Links

Is there a script I can use to rotate text links, but without losing SEO? I found the following online: http://www.bannercreator.nu/banner-rotation.html, but using this method would take away the SEO benefits of the text links. Any ideas?

 

Well it is easy:

You need to rotate the links so you need a random number, in PHP one can use rand(0, 10) to give a random number from 0 to 10 inclusive if you have that than a simple case statement will do the trick.

Simple PHP function that returns random URL, should be self explanatory.

function getTextLink()
{
   $linkNum = rand(0, 3);

   switch ($linkNum)
   {
      case 0: return array("Google page", "http://www.google.com");
      case 1: return array("Google UK page", "http://www.google.co.uk");
      case 2: return array("Yahoo page", "http://www.yahoo.com");
      case 3: return array("Gmail", "http://www.gmail.com"); 
   }
}

PHP:

The function returns an array with the first element a text anchor and the second one the URL.

You can use this code in any PHP page (if it is included in it of course) e.g.

$textLink = getTextLink();
echo "<a href='{$textLink[1]}'>{$textLink[0]}</a>";

PHP:

 

Thanks krzyk! I'll try it out.

 

Also, you can use Rotatee (http://rotatee.com) to achieve this. Feel free to sign up using the invite code "gotchance"
