URL Rotator Version 2.0
I am pleased to announce some major upgrades to the HomeBizRotator URL Rotator.
These changes were made at the request of owners of the rotator script, who have provided great feedback over the last several months.
So, here are the major changes.
URL Rotator Enable or Disable – In the past, if you wanted a link in the rotator to no longer be shown in the rotation, you had to delete the link from the rotator. If at some point in time you then wanted the same link to be added back in, you had to again add the link back into the rotator.
Now, if you want to remove a link temporarily, you can simply edit the link and select “No” for Enabled and remove the link from the rotation.
By default, Enabled will be set to “Yes” when you add a new link.
URL Rotator Edit Link Page
Maximum Number of Link Rotations – You may now set a maximum number of hits you want a link to receive before the link is automatically disabled. You can add the maximum hits upon adding the link, or edit the maximum hits at any time.
This feature is great if you are running an advertising coop and you base your coop cost on number of hits. For example, say some people want to buy 50 rotates, some 60, some 100 etc., you can vary the rotations by URL and have an URL automatically disabled after it reaches the maximum rotations.
If you leave the maximum hits at zero, there is no limit to the number of times the link is rotated.
Default URL Delivered When No Links Available for Rotation – You can now set a Default URL in the Admin Profile. This is due to the fact that if you are using the maximum hits feature, all URLs could potentially become disabled and incoming traffic would have no where to go. So, if this happens to occur, all hits will be delivered to the Default URL so your traffic is not going to waste.
URL Rotator Admin Page
Page Rotation Weight – You can now set a weight for each link being rotated. This weight will deliver the number of “weight” views to the link, before moving on the to the next link in the rotation. This is useful for coop advertising where you don’t charge by hit, but people can buy a number of spots. You can set a rotation weight based on the number of spots a person purchased. In the past, you would need to add the URL to the rotator multiple times for each spot in a coop.
You can also use the new Maximum hits feature and the Weight feature together for individual URLs. For example, you could set a Weight of 5 on a link and a Maximum hits of 50. This link would receive 5 hits in a row before the next link would be rotated. Then the next time the link would come up for rotation it would receive 5 more hits. This would repeat until the maximum hits of 50 was reached, then the link would be disabled.
Enhanced URL Rotator Admin Page – The Maximum hits and Weight information has been added to the main admin screen. You can quickly see the set Maximum link rotation and the rotated views delivered thus far, the Weight set, and the weight views delivered thus far, plus the next link due for rotation is in bold and italics.
Link Rotator Main Admin Page
Link Rotator Reset Stats Page Enhanced – I have added the Maximum hits stats, and Weight stats reset options, that allow you to reset the rotated page views delivered so far for each option. Once a link reaches the maximum hits and is disabled, this reset allows you to quickly reset the maximum hits counts to zero and re-enabled the link for rotation.

These enhancements make the HomeBizRotator URL Rotator even more valuable for the same low cost. If you have already purchased the HomeBizRotator, you can get the update for free, by using the login codes you originally received after your purchase.

I have to say this updates are great. Seems like it became very easy to use..
Akismet is blocking from homebizrotator.com any of our grad students who use toyperiod.com as a home page.
Let me explain.
With few exceptions, our business graduate students have been rejected by sites using Akismet.
All it takes is one request from a blogger anywhere for Akismet to ban any home site, whether the blogger is delivering spam or not. (None of our graduate students deliver spam. They are very intelligent commenters who like and enjoy your site, but have stopped visiting here, because Akismet is blocking them on your behalf.)
I am taking the time to write this because I believe your blog to be of high quality, and one from which both you and our graduate students would profit.
If you wish to have our grad students resume visiting your blog, please e-mail me at the College at avoisin@lindachristas.org, and I will place you on our faculty chart as a welcoming blog.
However, Akismet will have to lift the ban on ToysPeriod for you, or you will have to unplug your blog from Akismet.
The person to write to is Alex Shiel at Akismet at support@akismet.com
If you have not blocked ToyPeriod personally, that is even worse. Akismet has been known to universalize blocking.
That is, if one blogger anywhere reports a home page as spam, from then on, ANY person using that website as home page is blocked.
I do hope to hear from you.
If you ever wish to monetize your blog, Akismet will at some time or another have to be disconnected. Otherwise, as with our grad students, visitors will continue to be blocked, even if it is the first time they have ever visited your good site.

This is great to read and i think its really useful and helpful as well.pretty impressive and i like your writing style.
Thanks this was a great article and very interesting. I may try.
This is really great to read and i really like it that you have shared so useful and helpful with the readers of this blog.
I love to read interesting post that has knowledge to impart. I hope to read more articles from you,this URL rotator looking very powerful .I am going to read some reviews
This is a very handy tool indeed. Actually I was looking for something like this a couple of months ago, but gave up quickly. Should have looked here first
cool article. i have read first time about mobile url rotator and its very useful and powerful technology.
thanks for sharing
its very useful and thanks for the updation.
Sadly, the College has had to place this site off limits for our Grad Departments because Akismet is blocking a scholarship provider indiscriminately.
If this is no longer the case, and you will again allow comments with http://www.toysperiod.com in the website field, we can get this site reinstated.
I know you lost a lot of fans when suddenly Akismet stepped in and began blocking all our grad students who wanted to leave thoughtful comments here.
Please let me know if and when you unblock http://www.toysperiod.com.
If you didn’t personally tag ToysPeriod, perhaps Akismet is the source. We just don’t know.
What we do know though is that Akismet has unfortunately been responsible for censuring essential academic communication.
As a result of Akismet and several other such services, the US now trails the Chinese in terms of mass censorship of valuable information.
This is unfortunate, since most spam originates in Asia anyway.
In other words, Asia sends spam to the US, and bloggers in the US end up paying for the censoring of US citizen communication, which is exactly the goal of many Asian spammers to begin with.
Even with the Chinese military censoring communication in China, still 95% of our Chinese campus communications go through.
In the FREE US, because of Akismet and services like them, less than 50% of student communications survive.
It is a sad sad situation.
If you decide to unblock http://www.toysperiod.com, please let me know, and I will reinstate this site.

Linda Christas College
It looks as though you have unblocked ToysPeriod.com.
I will therefore go ahead and reinstate the site.
On behalf of the College and our scholarship provider, I thank you.
