URL Rotator Updated Again

I have recently updated the HomeBizRotator URL rotator to give you the ability to upload a batch of urls all at once.

Previously, if you wanted to add multiple links, you would have needed to load each URL one at a time.  This could be rather time consuming if you were wanting to add a large number of links.

I had a user who was wanting to move away from his old random rotator to a sequential rotator script, plus he wanted the hit counting capability of my php rotator.

He was not thrilled about having to load the multiple links he was using in his old rotator, into the HomeBizRotator rotator script by hand.  So, I took his suggestion and created a batch link up-loader.

Now you simply copy your links from a text file, or from a spreadsheet, and past them into the rotator.  The rotator script will enable all links uploaded in batch mode, automatically name them, and have them set and ready to rotate.

If you would like to see the url batch update feature, you can access it via the php rotator, admin panel demo at:
http://homebizrotator.com/demo/admin/

You will need username: demo and password: demo123.

Feel free to batch upload some of your links and perhaps even get a little free traffic

How much more will I charge for this addition to the link rotator script?  The price will remain the same.  My goal is to periodically update the script while keeping the same low price.

If you have previously purchased the rotator, you get this new feature by updating your script.

I love it when I am able to take suggestions from my customers, and add new features that they need.  That’s one of the reasons this URL rotator is so popular and just keeps getting better and better.

URL Rotator Copy Cat

I have noticed lately that there has been an increase in the number of URL rotators on the market lately.  That’s fine, there is nothing wrong with competition.

But, when someone who enter that market as your competition, and then copies significant portions of your sale page – well that is wrong and it is copyright infringement.

I’m not going to give this copy cat a link back, but will give you their domain – prorotator.com.  I think for the price, my link rotator is still the best, but I may be a little biased.

So, I’m going to give you some of striking similarities between the two web page, and I’ll let you be the judge.

My web page title:
Link Rotator Script | URL Rotator | Link Hit Counter

Their web page title:
Link Rotator Software | URL Rotator Software | Link Hit Counter …

My headline:
If you are using a link rotator script or link randomizer service, that is not on your own domain or web host…STOP!

Their headline:
Are you using a link rotator service or link randomizer service? If so … STOP! Using a 3rd party service is costing you dearly!

My sub headline:
Have you ever thought about what you are losing by using a third party, url rotator service?
You know the link rotating service is not providing the service just out of the kindness of their heart.

Their sub headline:
Do you know what you are loosing by using a third party url rotator service? You know they are not providing the link rotating service just because they are kind hearted and want to help you!

Some of my benefits:
To improve your Alexa rating by rotating links from your site and not some third party site.
To start a team advertising Cooperative
To do split testing on your websites.
Protect yourself from old and dead links
Track your advertising.
Capitalize on page not found errors.

Some of their benefits:
To improve your Search Engine and Alexa rankings
To do split testing on your website’s.
No More Dead Links:
Co-Op Campaigns:
Track your advertising:
Capitalize on page not found errors

Another one of my benefits:
Natural looking rotator link – http://yourdomain.com/links instead of http://yourdomain/links/rotate.php?id=234

Another of their benefits, copied almost verbatim:
Natural Looking Links – http://yourdomain.com/links instead of http://yourdomain.com/rotate.php?pid=123

I guess I should be flattered that someone copied a lot of my sales page, I’m not a great copy righter so I didn’t think it was all that great.  But, I think I will have to take some action on this.

So, let me know, am I crazy or did this person copy a large amount of my URL rotator sales page?

Let this be a lesson – when you create a product similar to someone else, be original, find your own unique selling proposition and don’t copy other people sales text or selling propositions.

I have contacted the owner of the copying website, we’ll see how they respond.  If you visit their site and their sales page has changed, then good for them.

Oh yeah, another lesson – I discovered this by having a Google alert set that notified me of the keywords URL rotator.  When I saw that alert come through, I saw the title “Link Rotator Software | URL Rotator Software | Link Hit Counter …” and I thought – that sounds just like my site, but it’s not – red flag!

Link Rotator Script by HomeBizRotator

Welcome to the HomeBizRotator link rotator script blog.

What is a link rotator script?  A link rotator script is a tool that lets you send visitors to one URL, and the script will rotate to a different destination URL with every visit.

For example, you send traffic to a certain link, like http://homebizrotator.com/rotate .  Upon each visit you will see a different website is displayed in order:

Link1 – http://www.videoclipminisites.com
Link2 – http://www.ecompeak.com/blog
Link3 – http://www.eliteaffiliatesystem.com
Link1 – http://www.videoclipminisites.com
Link2 – http://www.ecompeak.com/blog
etc.

Why would you want to rotate links?

I found the need to rotate links when I wanted to do an advertising coop.  I wanted to collect a pool of money for advertising to get a special discounted rate.  Each member who participated in the coop, provided me with a fee for each coop spot.  Then, I would direct traffic from the traffic source to the rotator URL and each coop member would get visits to their web site.

Upon searching for a link rotation script, I could not find a script that did what I needed to do.  I did find a service that would do it for me, but there was a monthly fee associated to the service.  I didn’t want to pay a monthly fee, so I started looking for a rotation script.

Most link rotators that I found were random link rotator scripts.  I theory, if you have enough traffic every link in a random rotator script should get about the same amount of views.  But, I wanted to be sure that each coop member would get the same number of views and they to do this is with a sequential link rotator script.

So, I decided to build a script that would do what I needed it to do.  The HomeBizRotator website rotator script was born.

The rotator script was just what I needed or a coop link rotator, and worked very well.

I soon discovered several other uses for the link rotator script.

I finally started this blog to help educate you on the HomeBizRotator script, to handle support questions, and to let you know of new uses for the rotator script.
