  • Google’s Website Optimizer Testing

    Google has started beta testing a very interesting tool. The tool, called Website Optimizer allows web site owners to track and test variables involved in online offers in order to make improvements to design and copy. There are lots of tools to track ad response, actions and conversions, but Google’s looks very user friendly and powerful. The fact that it so easily integrates into an AdWords campaign is a nice benefit as well.

    Tracking actions taken by your website visitors is a vital tactic. You don’t necessarily need to be selling a product to track. Tracking different newsletter sign-up forms, navigation layouts and usability factors is a great way to learn how to improve your website’s value.

    Initially they are asking for AdWords customers only to apply as beta testers. Apply Here

    • Those pesky Google kids announced this on the same day that we launched A/B Testing in clickdensity (http://www.clickdensity.com)!

      Anyway, if you want to try out A/B testing without an adwords account, feel free to give the free trial a go!
    • That is an interesting tool and as far as I know they are helping effectively with the adds, but their overview seems to be little stereotypical for the size of the Google. They could have been less formal, but maybe their editors are not as informal as we may like.
    • No doubt about it ... Google makes (and/or buys) some pretty slick tools. Sometimes I hear webmasters say, "I don't anything made by Google installed on my server. They'll learn too much about my business."

      I see where they're coming from, because Google does determine ranking *in part* by how people interact with your site. But I wonder how far it goes.

      For instance, I wonder if they use data from this tool to determine how people behave in response to an ad long *after* the person has clicked the ad and left Google's site. I'd like to know if they use these tools in part measure post-click ad success for their own benefit.

      I'll probably just have to keep wondering these things. :-)

      Thanks for sharing though John. I'll definitely give it a look.
