What Is a Site Rotator and Why You Need It

A site rotator is software that picks an URL from a list (either randomly, or based on priority rules) and displays it to the visitor. Rotators are very useful when you want to promote multiple websites using a single URL. If you are a TE user, for example, and want to promote 50 splash pages while the exchange only allows up to 3 websites, you will probably want to use a rotator. Also, when adding a new URL, you will only have to do it in the rotator, and not in the 100 websites that you are a member of!

A sophisticated URL rotator will not only be able to rotate your sites randomly, but also assign priorities (so you can show selected pages more often), track statistics, and even filter domains (meaning if a visitor comes from "site A", we do not show him pages that advertise "site A").

There are a lot of options when it comes to rotators. You can either host your own URL rotator script, or use one of the many online services. When choosing an online service, you usually want to make sure that the maximum number of URLs allowed is enough for you, and the additional features, such as hit tracking, are included.

What Is TEToolBox and Why I Recommend It

No other free URL rotator has the features that TeToolBox does!

I have tried a lot of site rotator services, but none came even close to TeToolBox in terms of speed, stability and additional features. Here are some of the things I like best about TTB:

  • It's fast! TEToolBox is a very fast rotator which loads your sites before you can blink. I never had any problems or noticeable downtime. Stability and uptime are important since you don't want to waste your advertising efforts sending people to an unreachable website!

  • No ads. Most free rotators show some kind of ads in a frame above your site. TeToolBox doesn't force ads even on free members.

  • Hit tracker. TEToolBox will not only track all hits to the URLs in your rotator, but will also gather and count site referrers, so you will know which TE or website is sending most people your way.

  • Subrotators. With TTB, you can create up to 10 subrotators and pick whichever URLs you want to rotate in them. For example, you might want to rotate a specific group of advertisements in one rotator, and another group in the other.

  • Domain filtering. Like the name suggests, TEToolBox is simply awesome for TE users. Domain filtering is a unique feature of TTB which ensures that if a visitor comes from "Site A", splash pages promoting that site won't be shown (thus saving your traffic). Domain filtering is optional and works 100% automatically.

  • Banner rotator. Now you can rotate not only webpages, but banners as well! Add your banners to the TeToolBox banner rotator and then paste their JavaScript code on your website. This way you can rotate multiple banners in one spot dynamically, track their CTR (clickthrough rate) and assign priorities.
Don't forget that free members get to use ALL the features of TEToolBox - again, no other rotator gives you that for no cost at all. The only limitation of a free account is that you may add up to 10 URLs. If you wish to add more, you might consider upgrading to Unlimited plan for a reasonable monthly fee (~$10).

Free URL Rotator Script from LJScripts

If you want to host your own rotator, this is a good choice.

If you are dissatisfied with online rotator services for one reason or another, you can always just host your own. In this case, you won't ever have to worry about adding too much links and such, since you have full control of it; however, you will have to pay for the hosting and ensure uptime of your website.

There is a large number of free site rotator scripts around, but I highly recommend the one from LJScripts. It does lack any additional features but is very fast and simple to configure. It does not have stat tracking nor site priorities (but you can simply enter the same site several times if you it to appear more often).

Help! I Still Don't Understand Any of This...

Then this explanation is for you! Let's take these 3 made-up URLs as examples:

this-is-mysite.com
my-other-site.com
my-third-website.com

Now we put them into our rotator which is hosted at (example only):

best-site-rotator.com

So, what happens when someone visits best-site-rotator.com? Simple: the rotator software randomly selects one of the three URLs we added, and displays it. The selection process is extremly fast and invisible to the visitors; it only takes a few miliseconds and puts very little strain on the webserver, since all it has to do is pick one site and redirect you to it.
