The Importance of Split Testing
Split testing is a method for comparing two different versions of a landing page to determine which version performs better.
Split testing should NEVER be a one-time experiment. It's important to keep running new split tests, so you can continue to improve your sales and profits.
Setting up a split test is very easy to do. You simply need to determine what element you wish to test on your landing page first.
Always be sure you only test one element at a time for your split test. Otherwise, you won’t be sure which changes you made resulted in a specific improvement.
For example, start by testing the headline. Using your current headline as the control, duplicate your landing page and create a new headline variation for the test.
The headline is the single most important element to test and can result in HUGE improvements in your conversion rate.
Other important elements you can test one by one are your landing page layout, website colors, images, call to action, price, guarantee, etc.
The list goes on and on, but those are some important ones to consider first.
In order to gain statistical confidence in your test, it’s advised that you send at least 300 unique visitors to each landing page. Some marketers even prefer a higher baseline number, such as 500 unique visitors to each landing page.
However, it should be noted that some split tests may produce an extreme difference in the results and if one page is performing very poorly, then you may consider ending the split test early.
Nobody likes to waste traffic. If you have a clear winner early, then you may choose to end the split test, so you can maximize your ROI. This is especially true if you’re using paid advertising to generate traffic.
Once your split test has achieved statistical confidence, it's time to analyze your results. The essential metrics you'll be tracking and analyzing are unique visitors, conversions and conversion rate.
Your conversions are automatically calculated based on the number of people that reach your “thank you” page. This conversion could be an email opt-in, a sale or some other metric you wish to track.
Your conversion rate is based on how many unique visitors arrived at your landing page compared to the number of actual conversions you received. This will be expressed as a percentage.
The importance of running split tests can’t be understated.
Most Internet marketers and online business owners don’t take the time to do any split testing and therefore leave a lot of money on the table.
I’ve personally seen split test results that have increased profits over 400%! This can literally mean the difference between success and failure, especially if you rely on paid advertising as a primary source of traffic generation.
So, if you want to grow and scale your Internet business the fastest and most efficient way, it’s absolutely vital that you add split testing to your marketing arsenal.
Take a look how a slight boost in your conversion rate can have a dramatic change in your results...
Just imagine if you're selling a product or service for $97. Increasing your conversion rate only 5% would give you a MASSIVE $4,850 boost in profits!
