Google Website Optimizer

by Chris Freville

I've been running a A/B split test with GWO which was working great by showing me clicks and conversions for page A versus clicks and conversions for page B.

Until... I made a small change to page B (I added in a few extra new lines to tidy up the look of the page.

Now... It seems to be recording clicks and conversions for ONLY page A. I'm getting no more traffic on page B.

Have I somehow caused the experiment to stop running by inadvertently making a change to page B whilst it was still running?

If so, how do I recover from this situation and what should be the procedure if you want to make changes to any of your test pages?

Thanks!

    Hey Chris,

    Try clearing your stats and starting over...

    What I mean is - GWO tests from one original and one variant...

    So just reset the page A as the 'new' original and your new page B as the variant and restart your testing...

    Hope this helps - please let me know if it does or not as I'm just getting started with GWO

      Yeah, I know I can start over again, but that wasn't my question. (sorry!)

      I'd like to know if what I did caused GWO to stop working?
