Javascript Question
Random HTML page redirect
So what I'm trying to do is have it so when you are on one of my webpages, there is a small chance to be randomly redirected to another page. Like 1 in 500 chance. Is this even possible? Please help.

This could be done easily in javascript.
Just get a random number between 0 and 500, let's say if the random number is 0 then we redirect the user to another page, otherwise we don't.
<script>
var randNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * 500);
if (randNum == 0)
window.open('redirect-url');
</script>
If you want to redirect the user to a random website from a list of websites you can do something like this:
<script>
var randNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * 500);
var randURLs = [ "http://url0", "http://url1", "http://url1" ];
if (randNum == 0) {
var randURL = Math.floor(Math.random() * randURLs.length);
window.open(randURLs[randURL], '_blank');
}
</script>
