Best Tool for Split Testing Blog Landing Page

Justin Finkelstein · 01-16-2012, 08:11 AM

Can somebody recommend a tool or process for doing A/B split testing on a Wordpress Blog Landing Page? I want all users to land on the same page but I want the page that is presented to the user to be rotated.

Background:
I have a blog that is generating over 1,500 uniques a month. It is ranking #2 for my primary keyword and the site is being used to promote a Clickbank product.

Hey Justin,

Long time no see, man.

You can use Premise along with Google Website Optimizer OR Visual Website Optimizer. Premise integrates well with both and the WS will take care of the rotation.

Cheers,

Martin

Justin - Google website optimizer works fine with WordPress so long as you understand how to paste the javascript code in the header of the specific pages you're testing.

With something like Visual Website Optimizer, you don't need to do this. You paste some JavaScript (one time, never again) into the header area of your blog. The javascript code can (and should) show up on EVERY PAGE of your blog. And this makes it incredibly easy to do split testing properly + easily.

I switched to Visual Website Optimizer after thinking Google's tool was good enough. Truth be told, I stopped setting up tests in Google because it was a pain in the ass to do.

Here's a really good tutorial on split testing including VWO and Wordpress:
