Serving Multiple versions of the same site with different Advertisers?

    Hello,

    Is it possible/practical to serve multiple versions of a site from one domain?

    What I'm interested in doing is testing out different monetizing schemes on a site all at the same time.

    For example I create three versions of my site, one with adsense, one with bitvertisement, and one with another ad scheme. Whenever my site is visited it would rotate through which monetized version is served allowing me to compare multiple monetizing schemes as well as diversifying my income source.

    If after time one advertiser is paying out much higher than the others I would probably switch it completely, but I would still have the ability to easily test new advertisers or layouts.

    Is this already being done? How would I go about doing it, a PHP script redirecting to internal pages based on an incrementing counter?

    OR is Adsense such the dominant choice that this effort is a waste of time and effort? The site will be a custom Flash game site (single game, not an arcade).

    Appreciate any input.

    IMO Adsense is the best, however you can try yourself using a random number on server side. Something like this pseudocode:

    ....
    r=random(100)
    if (r<50) then Adsense
    elsif (r==65) then Adengage
    elsif (r==80) then Bidvertiser
    elsif (r==90) then Clicksor
    else Chitika
