I want to create a page that will randomly redirect a visitor to about 3 different pages. I want to test the response from the three different pages, so I'd like it to be pretty even on how often each is used.
Is there a way to do this? If so, what do I need to use?
TIA
Server-side scripting (perl, php, asp and so on) is probably a better approach, although js is not so bad, if you watch out for the "null" case as I mentioned above. A search on almost any search engine should turn up a number of pre-made scripts for a server-side approach.
site_id, site_version, site_count should be all you need. Alternatively you could also use a site_feedback, site_browser_ver. THe browser and such, as we all know can be automatically shoved to an array for storage in the mysql. Should be a simple thing to calculate which one is better after a week or two's randomness...

p.s. as for the feedback, you can create a exit questionaire/survey with some free php/mysql code thats available.. PHPSurveyor [phpsurveyor.sourceforge.net] (sourceforge)
