About 4 Different PHP Scripts for Rotating Stuff on Your Blog
or Website
There are many ways to rotate content on your website or
blog and there are many different purposes for rotating content
on your website. Also, there are many different forms of
content to rotate on your website or blog.
We are going to take a look at using a php script to rotate
different forms of content on your blog. By different forms I
mean, things like images, linked text snippets, plain text
snippets, banners, linked banners, various other graphic
images, google adwords and just about anything you can come up
with, you can probably fit into the confines of this script and
rotate it within a webpage.
Want to see the Rotating Images in action, click on the
link. Refresh the page, at each refresh you'll see images,
banners, text, google ads and some other good stuff.
Why would you want to rotate images on your website or
rotate anything? It keeps your website fresh, creates a
constant new look or maybe you want to sell some space on a
high traffic website.
Let's say you have 20 people who buy banner images to be
rotated on one of your webpages. You could have the images
rotate on every page refresh, that is everytime someone comes
to the webpage a new banner shows. You can link the banner and
even include a tracking code so the customer knows how many
times the banner has been viewed or at least shown.
Let's do some math, you have 20 banners to rotate and you
charge $30 a month to advertise on your site. If you have 400
unique views a day each person could possible have their banner
shown 20 times a day or 600 times a month. If you website has a
tightly focused market you shouldn't have a hard time getting a
mere $30 per advertiser. Let's do the important math....20
banners times $30 a month will put $600 a month in your pocket!
That's some nice coin!
You might even find one guy wanting to hog the entire space
for the whole month. You could entice him by giving him a
discount for the the entire month if he prepays for a year or 6
months. Keyword.....prepays, don't accept anything else because
the guy/gal will probably bolt on you, in which case, you'd be
better lining up prospects to get their banner or ad in
rotation on your site. Of course this little php script will
rotate till the cows come home and you won't have to do a thing
except collect the cash!
Another nice thing about using the php rotation script is
that you can apply html attributes to in, give it a border,
align it to the left, center or right. Make it bold or
underlined...you name it...if it's part of html, you can do it.
You can also use css to manipulate an image or text. The more
you know about html, css or php...the more creative you can get
with rotating images, text, iframes, or just about
anything.
On this sample page simple hit refresh and you'll see a
different ad, banner, text or iframe....not only different
images but the same images in different locations. I kept it
simple and aligned the rotated image to the right or left so
that the text will wrap around it.....Again, it's totally up to
you how you format anything you rotate, I spent the better part
of a day playing around to see how I could manipulate the
image, text or ad that was rotated.
Have fun with it, and think about the different ways you
might be able to use this script. Since it's php you can have
someone alter the code to do anything special you might dream
of. It gets really cool when you start thinking about how you
could monetize this little script.....of course you need some
traffic, but once you jump that hurdle you essentially can sell
space on your website and make much more than serving up Google
Adsense or some other lame ppc advertising.
Put your thinking cap on and start your rotation :)
