PHP - Randomize Web Title with the rand function...
Define the variables numbers we start at number 0 CODE <?php $title[0] = "Web title 0"; // Title 0 $title[1] = "Web title 1"; // Title 1 $title[2] = "Web title 2"; // Title 2 $title[3] = "Web title 3"; // Title 3 $title[4] = "Web title 4"; // Title 4 ?> now we use the rand() function to get a randomize the web title. rand(0, 4) means we start at 0 and end at 4 i can get 0,1,2,3,4 one of those. It depends how many arrays you have CODE <?
// get a random number $randomize = rand(0, 4); // Change four to how many arrays you have echo ($title[$randomize]); ?> see it in action. ++++++++++++++++++++ <?php $title[0] = "Web title 0"; // Title 0 $title[1] = "Web title 1"; // Title 1 $title[2] = "Web title 2"; // Title 2 $title[3] = "Web title 3"; // Title 3 $title[4] = "Web title 4"; // Title 4 // get a random number $randomize = rand(0, 4); // Change four to how many arrays you have ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title><?php echo ($title[$randomize]); ?></title> </head> <body> Just a simple PHP tut </body> </html>

Interesting php code there, from the jist of it this php script it randomly changes the title of your website, I could see some good function with this, however I could the inconvience of this script as well, and that you could have a hard time getting your website index, just on the fact that every user that goes to the site will have a different title every time, thus google could think your cheating in some way. Maybe you could add a a peice of time code into this script say to change it once of month to spread the time delay out.

In my opinion, I don't find this method a very good SEO practice. Google wouldn't like this and so would other search engines. However, it would be good to teach Random numbers as an exercise or practice for PHP, but even that is misleading in some way. It's okay for maybe a sub-page of a site but that's about it.
anyway, thanks for posting this tutorial. This is the first time I learned how to use the rand() function. Thank you again. |

If you want to make it change every month from when you start it, you could use mysql or a text file, and store the last date that it was changed, and if time() > (what's stored) + (30*24*60*60), then it would show a different title. I think there's also a way to use "date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 month'))" (I found this in another tutorial and it worked), but I'm not sure if the ">" sign would work for dates. There might be some other way to do it that's better, but I haven't really looked into it.
