Split Testing is the base of all successful strategies. We should never stop testing. Keep what works and change what it doesn’t.

Nice Article.

Cheers!

Nice look at GWO. I did an even more basic one over here, but yours is even better. Thanks!

Testing the fine details of every page element is definitely a smart practice. Few people take the time, but the dang color of a button or exact placement of an opt in box, etc…DOES matter. It affects your results, so why not take the time to figure out how to get maximum results?

My big mistake was I didn’t want the test page that was served, indexed, so I put a noindex,nofollow on it. Maybe you can see where this is going. The test page ended up being better so I just copied over my original page, but forgot to remove the noindex,nofollow. 3-days later, page gone. Thankfully, I spotted it. 7-days later page was restored.

Now, maybe I was being too paranoid, but I thought if someone had the Google Toolbar installed and logged-in ,it could send the data to google about the test page during the test and I didn’t want a duplicate content problem.

Thoughts?

You know the easiest way to test, they I found is by creating 3 completely separate “original” pages. Send 30-50 people to each. I use a special software to make this automated for me. Use one as the main page, the highest converting one. Update the other by changing headers first. And the text later. ONLY improve the original based on the test! This way I had conversions as high as 75%!
