That depends, Jimsim...

Right now I'm trying my own strategy on another niche, and I will give it a year to see, if it works. I spend around 5 hours per week working on it. I know from my first project, made the same way, that it can take months, even years, before profit shows up.

Other times, I give it less time. I guess it depends on what was promised. If the sales page said: make 1K in 4 days, I will not give it much more than 8 days.

I guess it would depend on what exactly you are testing, but any aspect I can think about with IM that can be tested would depend more on the traffic that sees it instead of the time frame.

When I first started, I generated traffic with free methods only because I had no money to invest. It could take a couple months to reach a couple thousand views (which is minimum what I use for split tests). Now when I'm testing something, I have the investing money to send a couple thousand views in a matter of days.

You will know when something is working or not...you will either be in the red or not.

Oh..so means i need to make "period of testing" into one of my experiment parameter...because i'm trying to identify those constant parameter and variable parameter in my experiment so that i'm able to be in the right path of my experiment...do you guys practice such things or just try and sit back and wait for the result? I'm not trying to be lazy but if it takes a year (let's say) to identify this particular parameter, will it be too long?

I guess it's all depending on what is my experiment goals and strategies eh?

It depends.
If I'm testing a product on known traffic sources I give it a week.
If I'm testing a new traffic source, then I give it a month after I shut down that source. I do that to check for bookmarking input. If good then I make that source permanent.
