update to lerchmo's arbi split testing script

I wrote some updates to lerchmo's arbi script.
Most of the additions/changes are minor and won't be noticed much.
The biggest update probably is the ability to create inner pages to your site.
All you have to do is link to the pages in your template(look at the templates for examples) and put the content in a certain directory. The instructions are in the README.TXT file in the root directory.

I haven't actually started doing arbi yet since 7search sort of fucked my plans up by changing their policy a day after I got validated. So I haven't used any of this. It seems to work ok in casual testing. I consider it really unstable though. You can post bug reports in here or PM them to me.

If I get many reports I'll probably create formal guidelines for posting/creating bug reports.

Any feedback on whether or not the damn thing works will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Fuck I've been trying to upload this and have been having problems. Have to change the file from .tgz to .zip and then was unable to upload the file because it exceeded file size limit. So I just broke it up into two different files. The file with "part2" in the name contains the "app_private" directory which should go somewhere above your web root.

Well when I first started working on it I had planned on releasing it. But to be honest after 7search went apeshit and seeing all the negative attention arbi seemed to be getting right before I got finished, I started having second thoughts about releasing it thinking that it might do more harm than good.
I pm'd lerchmo and asked his opinion and he told me to release it. I figured his opinion meant something since its based on his script and he released it freely.
And to be honest I'll probably be adding shit taht I won't release publicly to use for my own sites. It just depends on what the future of arbi looks like. (but I might trade shit in PM for tips from the wise ones )
The only major difference that the end user of the script will see in this update is the ability to easily create inner pages to help your sites quality score and maybe get organic traffic since you could create mini content sites easily. You just put the links at the bottom so they don't compete as much with the adsense ads.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that I fucked around with the original template from lercho's script and added a few extra ones. This might not be a good thing since he said that his template had good CTR. You might want to get the template from the original script if you use this and throw it into the mix. I mainly just wanted to throw a few different templates in there even if they are ass, because I think the point is to just try everything and let the script do its job of sorting out the best one. You should probably regard the templates that are included as just examples and create your own.
