Eye Tracking Tests

One of my “secret” weapons is a website I found way back in August 2006. It’s a site that offers incredibly affordable and sophisticated tracking. Crazy Egg offers a basic account at just $9.00 a month all the way up to a Pro account at $99.00 per month.
Being able to track everything that a visitor [...]

Competitive Split Testing

Many people think that Split Testing is about increasing the sales conversion rate of your sales process.

Button It!

One of my most recent tests involved experimenting with alternative text on “Buy Now” buttons.
One thing that I strongly recommend that you do while browsing, or shopping, online is to pay attention to what other people do. You can probably bet your last dollar with absolute certainty that successful online merchants such as Amazon will [...]

You Have To Know Your Numbers
