Filters Multiple Filters allowed

But, data output for filter 1 is data input for filter 2

Be careful! Filters are data destructive! Avoid wrong conclusions!

Create multiple Profiles to prevent filter 1 impacting filter 2

Caveat

Website Optimizer tests can be used to test what people do, but not why they do it. You need to infer from the variations and the analytics and a good piece of market understanding (know thy customer).

Copyright tmg ltd. All rights reserved.

Designing the Test Before running the test, you must decide on these factors: A control A hypothesis A time frame A method of evaluating the results

During the tests, you cannot change your test, whatsoever!

Example Add to Cart Buttons Variables Shape, Size, Colour Variations Shape: Round, Square Size: Small, Medium and Large Colour: Red, Blue and Yellow Hypotheses Red buttons convert better than blue or yellow Large buttons convert better than small or medium Round buttons convert better than square

Design an A/B Test Identify the metric. What are you going to compare and contrast? Describe the metric. How will you compare and contrast the differences? Optimise the system based on comparison of two or more tested solutions.

Copyright tmg ltd. All rights reserved.

The Test Calculator The number of combinations will affect how long you need to run a test to return meaningful results. Factors: Test combinations Page views % Visitors Conversion rate Expected Improvement
