You know how the Jedi can raise ships, structures and physical objects by moving their hand? I think it can't be done it in real life. However, by moving your hand in real life you can control other people who will move physical objects with physical labour - which is even more powerful.

bullshit

VHNet · 05-26-2010, 04:25 AM

Yeah, actually, that's my week 6 article - raising ships, buildings, etc.

My only concern with your method of splitting (meta refresh/redirect) is that it could affect your SE rankings. I think you'd be better off creating an array of filenames and include()ing a random one - that way the page and site structure remains identical, only the content changes (slightly)

Fair enough concern, and there ARE paid applications that will negate the SE problem - I just wanted to show an easy & free way of doing so. Just google "split test software" - lots of professional crap out there (in my opinion, only necessary if you're doing huge numbers of pages and have layers of management to answer to).

That's actually a good idea that I hadn't thought of in the past (when you're so used to doing something one way, you kind of get tunnel vision). I'll add it in a bit - with some code.

Thanks!

Great Read! Thank you.

I'm getting a code written for me to A/B (or 'split') testing from Woj. To begin, it'll be a simple A/B script, sort of like how you outlined, but more PHP-based. Yay for testing!!!

Thanks man!! I like jedis.

Jarmusch · 05-26-2010, 01:34 PM

Nah I just looked at my table, there's no money on it.

VHNet · 05-26-2010, 03:07 PM

VHNet · 05-27-2010, 02:50 PM

UPDATE: I added a simple PHP code that uses the PHP Include function instead of the metarefresh. Should help with the Search Engine concerns.

Hope this helps

P.S. finishing another article tonight.

D Ghost · 05-27-2010, 02:58 PM

good info, always a good idea

NetHorse · 05-27-2010, 03:37 PM

Nice thanks for the PHP script. When I tweak my sites I definitely need to be more patient. I change something and if I don't see results I start switching it after only a couple hours.

I'll try your idea and leave it for a week!

A week is about average. It really depends on a few things : the quality and quantity of your traffic...if you're buying shitting traffic, you'll undoubtedly get shitty results.

I'll admit though that I've had times where I'll change something out after just a day because the numbers are SO BAD on the second page that a week won't do shit.

You pretty much just want to give the second page a chance to prove that the improvement (or decrease) in sales is of Statistical Significance - that it wasn't by chance or some outside unpredictable factor...that it truly is better, or worse. Sometimes that's a day, sometimes it really takes a week (or more).

I'm not sure that split testing can be considered a trend...it's a practice that successful marketers have been using pretty much since the beginning of marketing.
