Yup, that's the roulette selection, as they call it. It's pretty simple, actually. The idea is that you use a concept similar to a roulette table, just that the sectors aren't equal -- they're equal to their respective weights. The procedure is as follows:
1. Assign the weighting to each of the pages; 2. Create an array with the pages' URL's; 3. Create an array with the same size as (2), with the weights of each respective page to the same index as the URL's; 4. Find out the sum of all values in the array at (3); 5. Generate a random number between 0 and the number found out at (4); 6. Walk (3) while sum of elements in (3) you already walked is smaller than (5). When the condition is false, remember the index; 7. (6)-1 is the index in (2) you need. If you need more info, don't hesitate to ask me!
