You can select prom dresses and quinceanera dresses from an incredible number of prom dress style, colours, makes and designs, so whatever type of look you are after for this all-important evening dresses, you will have no problem achieving prom pageant dresses.

By the way, I found it from Ryan Carson's article, "How to do A/B Testing in WordPress".

I enjoyed this article, very well presented and great examples. I'll be watching for the follow-ups.

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.

Nice article :) Really helped me with the basics. You allready stated the Google Website Optizer is farly limited, but which tool would you recommend then? Thanks in advance!

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.

Does google analytics/ other analytics tool help you with A/B testing? Good intro to A/B testing.

I like the direction you are going in with this article... keep it going.
Andrew King covers similar topic in his new book called Website Optimization.
