Choosing a Free URL Rotator

October 23rd, 2009

A free URL rotator is heaven-sent if you have several websites to advertise because it is really much less work for you because you only need one link to promote, say 200 sites. A possible problem, however, when you are deciding on which provider to choose for this free tool is that there might be a maximum number of URLs that you can submit for the free URL rotator. This could be inconvenient when the number of websites that you are advertising surpasses this limit because you will have to find another provider and you will then have two or more rotators to think of.

Another possible downside, aside from the restriction on the number of URLs in some providers of free website rotators, is the usual appearance of a banner ad. However, this ad may be removed if you opt for the paid membership, which can be quite reasonable in view of the benefits that could be obtained. You may even be able to receive a commission from a number of free URL rotator providers when you are able to convince another person to become a member of the paid service.

What are the different applications of free website rotators for various people, especially Internet marketers? Let us first examine the nature of a free URL rotator before we examine its uses. The primary function of a free website rotator is to show a different web page every time a person clicks on a particular link. A list of the URLs of these web pages is given to the free URL rotator company so that when a person clicks on the link, either a URL is randomly selected from the list or the next URL on the list is loaded. The usual system is that every click moves the pointer to the next URL in the list because you might want to provide every URL with the same chance of being seen by the Internet surfers.

The most obvious application of a free URL rotator is the promotion of several sites with just one link. Another potential use for the free website rotator is an advertising cooperative in which people can purchase shares and the rotator will be able to show all of their websites because for every click, the URL to be displayed is the next one in the list. Another use of a free URL rotator is to let you easily transfer your promotional efforts to other websites if you have decided to discard a certain product. You simply remove the URL for this particular product from the list.
