I enjoyed this article, very well presented and great examples. I'll be watching for the follow-ups. By the way, I found it from Ryan Carson's article, “How to do A/B Testing in WordPress”.

Great article as always (and the preamble and follow up ones). As someone with a qualitative research background, I’ve really come around to the importance of data-driven design and taking the bias out of design decisions. However, while you qualified your statement “the landing page with the higher conversion rate is better”, I think it’s more than just unsustainable incentives (and the like) that need to be taken into account.

Two pages may yield the exact same conversion rate – however they may offer a vastly different quality of the conversion (demographic of the user) and experience for the user. I’m not sure why there is often a rift between qualitative and quantitative research as they are really powerful when used in a complementary fashion. Without being able to actually talk to the user and getting a sense of who they are and what their experience was like it’s difficult to infer this information otherwise.

Looking forward to the next two articles!

Frank,

Give GWO a try, it might do what you need. I usually write my own.

Prakash,

Google has the Google Website Optimizer, which supports both A/B and multivariate testing, but it’s fairly limited. It only measures “conversion” events.

You can’t, say, segment Google Analytics reports based on GWO experiments.
