If I have three websites like web1.azurewebsites.net, web2...,web3... in the same region and want to have a loadbalancer that divides the traffic evenly amongst those websites (a so called round robin configuration). How can I accomplish this in azure? I know that I can use the traffic manager but only if the websites are on different regions.
Sorry but very new to azure...

Do you need to have three different web sites? Or can you have a single web site scaled up to multiple instances? (guide here)
If you scale up, then it should use a built-in load balancer that is based on a hash of the user's IP + port, as described here.
And yes, traffic manager isn't really intended for true load balancing; it's a DNS-level redirection, mainly for improving performance based on geography.
