what is URL rotation?

let’s make things very easy by taking this small example you are a marketer maybe a CPA marketer may be an affiliate marketer or maybe you have your own website your own service and you are marketing it.

what you do simply usually create a landing page and share this landing page may be on social media may be using email marketing may be using Bing ads or Google Ads. and so on.

whatever marketing system you are using, you are marketing this landing page. The URL of the landing page now a good practice you will create multiple landing pages and start promoting them all together and then you can see which will perform better so you can optimize your campaigns later.

Now with URL rotation, you can get all the landing pages all the URLs and put them in the URL rotation service and this service will automatically give you only one URL to market to advertise and then automatically rotate between different landing pages according to your options.

you can say as an example landing page one will get 30% of the clicks landing page 2 will get 20% of the clicks and so on. so you can share now only one link and automatically it will rotate between multiple landing pages or multiple offers or multiple links.

so you can understand which landing page is performing better it’s really very important if you understand the idea, so if you combine both URL rotation with URL shortener you get awesome results you can track which landing page exactly is converting the most in your campaign so you can optimize all the upcoming campaigns according to your results, this is how marketers study their campaigns.
