Welcome to the URL Rotator Plugin for WordPress!
The URL Rotator plugin allows you to specify a group of target URLs you’d like to cycle through, then specify a jump key that allows you to reference this group from anywhere.
For example, let’s say I want to create a jump key to cycle through three different search engines.
I create the jump group to include:
http://www.google.com
http://www.yahoo.com
http://www.bing.com
I then create a jump key of ’searchengine’ on my site, so I can send people to the url http://www.jonathanboettcher.com/searchengine and it will automatically cycle through those three sites. Try it -- the link is live. Each time another person clicks on the site, it chooses the next URL as the target.
The plugin also has a hit counter that you can reset -- a crude but effective way of measuring overall traffic. For example, if you’re testing three offers and you send 300 clicks, you know that each offer has received 100 clicks.
In addition, the plugin was designed so that it can pass along any URL variables you send to it. So if you’re trying to do keyword tracking, you can do that. You just have to be careful you format your target URLs correctly.
Here’s a YouTube video I did which explains a bit more:
For the time being, I’m planning on keeping this plugin free, but I have a few ideas up my sleeve that are going to make this plugin far more powerful (think about tracking) and at that point I will probably start charging something for it.
