Thanks for the info Cow.

I use Analytics but have never done any A/B testing – it’s always seemed too complicated and time consuming.

(It’s only as I’m writing this that I’ve realised what a stupid excuse that is! lol)

This is a topic that I am still having trouble with.
I use Google Analytics and I can see where traffic comes from and goes. I have wondered how to use the web optimizer.

You know what I think would be a good tool…..

A piece of software that will analyse your entire site and score the site based on some standards. The tool could scan all incoming and outgoing links (warn of broken links), image placement, text fonts, colors, etc. It is quite well established what a well designed site should look like, based on all kinds of research. Take these parameters and use as a guide for designing the “website Inspector” tool…..hmmmm maybe I should be off looking for a programmer to start this for me??

Thanks John for the great post!

This is very useful – I will be redesigning several of my sites soon and I hope to put them through a testing phase shortly after. This article makes some great points to remember. Particularly about not making too many changes at once. Seems obvious, but so easy to overlook in one’s enthusiasm.

Thanks for the article Cow. I haven’t yet delved into testing my sites yet, as most of my sites thus far have been “internet marketing” affiliate promotions, and after the first couple weeks or so, seem to really die down as far as the traffic goes. But by then, Im promoting the next thing. Gets old actually, and im thinking about switching to promoting something that might earn for a longer period of time.

Talk soon.
