Show IH: Plugserv - Easily spread traffic between your own sites

https://www.plugserv.com/

I run a number of different websites, some of which are popular and some which aren't. To drive traffic between them, I built a tiny ad server. Now instead of manually linking sites together, I just include a javascript snippet on each, and Plugserv rotates between all my ads.

Today I'm making it available to everyone! Each user gets their own personal snippet that shows their own ads. Check it out if you run multiple sites; it's an easy way to boost traffic.

    Nice idea. Could adblockers be a problem?

      Maybe someday. For now it's either unobtrusive or uncommon enough not to be on any lists.

        Thanks for your quick response! Do think calling your script from the same server through a subdomain of each project would help then? (track.project1.com, track.project2.com)

          Presumably. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
