Click Rotator Basic Information
Rotator Description:
Enter a description for this rotator. The description is used to help you identify this particular rotator in lists that contain multiple rotators.
Rotator Type:
Select the type of rotator you would like to create. You have the option of creating a Series, Rotate or Random rotator.
Series rotators deliver clicks to the first link until you have sent the selected number of clicks. Once the first link has been sent the selected number of clicks, the next link in the series will be sent clicks. Each link in this rotator will be sent clicks until it has been sent the selected number of clicks.
Rotate rotators send clicks to all links in a rotating fashion. Once a click has been sent to all links in the rotator, it starts sending clicks again starting with the top of the list.
Random rotators send clicks randomly to the links in the rotator.
Group (optional):
You can optionally assign this rotator to a group. You can type in a new group name or select an existing group by typing the first few letters of a group and then selecting it from the dropdown list that appears. Some rotator listings allow you to search and sort by group.
Default URL:
Enter the URL you want to send all clicks to if there is no link in the rotator remaining that this click can be sent to. For example, this URL will be sent clicks if all links in the rotator have been delivered their set number of clicks or all fail any tests used to determine click eligibility.

You can keep any notes about this rotator you want in this field.
