What I’ll Cover  Clicks and Conversions  Controlled Online Conversion Experiments  What to Test  Case Studies 2

Driving Traffic is Just the Beginning… You invest marketing resources for 100% of your visitors. Your pages may lose more than half their visitors in seconds Most who stay choose not to convert. Visitors = Potential Conversions Bounced Visits Abandoned Non-Bouncing Visitors Conversions Why bother bringing more visitors to a site that converts poorly?

Landing Pages are the Low Hanging Fruit Ad Creatives Landing Pages Closing Pages seconds; 3% of pixels, no commitment 0-20 seconds, 100% of pixels, demonstrated commitment 2-3 minutes, 100% of pixels, significant commitment

Some Pages Better Than Others Traffic Known Problems with Content Low High Landing Pages Home Pages Step 1 of Funnels Previously Optimized Pages Final Steps of Funnels Ancillary Detail Pages Terms of Use Pages Contact Us Pages

Best Practices in Marketing Experimentation Test a small number of variations Rule of thumb is ~100 conversions per combination Combinations = (# Variations in Section 1) * (# Variations in Section 2)… –Test big changes If you can’t see difference between two combos in 8 seconds, visitors probably won’t either –Consider early indicators if you don’t have enough conversions E.g. if you’re selling a $100k software package or a small business with modest volume, optimize for conversion indicators such as request info, view product details, remain on page features page >5 seconds. –Don’t jump to conclusions Less than 2 weeks is no good, focus on absolute conversion difference, don’t get too excited by sliver of green or red

Do you know what your top 5 traffic pages are? Do you know what your worst converting pages are? Are you trying content ideas that scare you (a little)? 19
