I heard you can set something up with cookies to do this, but I don't know where to turn next. Any ideas?
Do you mean you want to give people a choice of main page and then make sure it always shows what their choice was when they return?
So for purposes of optimization I have a site that I want to test / tweak for CTR and conversion.
To do this I have the original page (sitex.index.html) that I will leave alone for the time being as my "control" page, and I want to have another index.html page that I will rotate in for every other visitor.
So visitor A might see homepage A, and visitor B might see homepage B (each slightly different) and I will measure the different CTR and conversion of each page.
The main thing I need to know how to do is display a rotating page for the index.html file...
Any ideas? I hope I am explaining this ok!
That page can then redirect the person to whichever page it is you wish to use.
Cookies will help if you want people who come back top see the same page as they did before (once you send them to page A give them a page A cookie for when they come back)
If you want people to see the pages randomly , how about doing the redirect by using the time or the last digit of their IP? If its and odd number they see page 1 and if its even they see page 2.
Failing that you could use a variable and literally rotate every visitor between the 2 pages alternately.
It may not be the best solution but hey! its nice and simple :)
If you are not into coding then perhaps try looking around some of the free script sites and see if there is anything similar to what you are looking for.
