Any ways to do a easier split test?

New to IM, just asking if there is a service that does the following:
1. It produces a shortened link for you
2. when people click on that link, it redirects them randomly, based on % that you setup, you one of your split pages.
3.Every click would result in either the split test page1 , or split test page 2 or more pages, and you can set the chance(more or less likely) of it going to a certain page in the settings

If you don't understand what i mean, i mean:
i get a special link: --'special link for split test'
when someone clicks on that link, say i have 2 split test pages, both on 50%
The 'special link for split test' will take the first click to "split test page 1", then the second click to "split test page 2", and third test back to "split test page 1"..... and so on

    No need for a shortened link though - you use your original page, and the script you put into that page then channels your traffic to the variation pages that you set up.

    You need page variations, and a goal - usually the thank you page, if you're split testing a squeeze page, for example. You plug it all into the interface, paste in the code as requested, it checks to make sure you did it. Hit run, and you're good. Doesn't get much easier.

    Not sure why you need a shortened link?

        Twitter will shorten for you. Just keep the original and be on your way. Martin said all that needs to be said.

    Easy tracker pro does that (rotates split test offers) but it won't be a shorten link but you can take that tracker link and use bitly or tiny url to shorten it.

    I don't use split testing any more. I use a software called 'Advantage Bot'. It scores my content and if it scores low I can make changes to increase the score. It has been really remarkable.

    I'm now able to optimize my sales pages and email messages without doing any more split testing.

    It is kind of pricy but worth it.

    I hope this is helpful,

    Like James Gladwell I use Visual Website Optimizer or Optimizely. You can do split tests, multivariate tests, heat maps, click maps etc etc. Super easy to use and if you are doing IM these are critical for conversion opimization.
