In case you have missed it, I published a guest post on the Google website optimizer blog titled ​25 Google Website Optimizer Tips for Better Product Pages.

If you are a regular reader of the Invesp blog, you know that we focus on ecommerce conversion rate optimization. While I find conversion optimization generally challenging, I believe that ecommerce conversion optimization is more difficult compared to optimizing other websites. CRO should be more than randomly throwing elements in a test script and hoping one of them will beat the original design. If you are looking for consistent results, you have to follow a methodology. In this post, I touched on the basics of product page optimization. Jump to the GWO blog and read the full post

Prior to 2006, testing wasn’t discussed much as a means to optimization. Today, there is so much emphasis on testing, to the extent many experts believe that without it, all optimization efforts will fail. When did this change happen, and why? And is conversion optimization possible with testing or not?

Testing has always been a staple ingredient in our optimization efforts. It allows us to continuously measure improvements, vary elements and combinations, and address the constantly changing needs of the customers quickly and effectively. We have had instances where testing could not be used with clients because the testing software was not compatible with their platform, etc.

Additionally, prior to 2006, testing was a last touch ingredient within our projects (i.e. it was not integrated with every optimization recommendation as it is now), which made it less important to the project, the client, and many times, the results.

This issue comes up when a client comes to us and says, “I can’t deploy testing.” Whatever reason it may be, as experts we need to work around all obstacles – or do we? Should we abandon a project that does not allow for testing, or should we optimize as we did before 2006?
