Peep Laja, ConversionXL @peeplaja
Typical scenario:
A company runs 100 tests
/ year. Lots of wins. But no
difference on the bank
account.
#thinkppc
Precious time wasted
on stupid tests
Testing mistake #1:
#thinkppc
You don’t have a data-
driven, learning-
oriented hypothesis
Testing mistake #2:
#thinkppc
Learn more: http://conversionxl.com/how-to-come-up-with-more-
winning-tests-using-data/
#thinkppc
You think you know
what will work
Testing mistake #3:
#thinkppc
Your sample size is
way too small
Testing mistake #4:
#thinkppc
#thinkppc
Calculate needed sample size in advance:
#thinkppc
I won’t even look at results until
there’s at least 250-350
conversions PER variation.
Way more if you want to segment the data
#thinkppc
Your tests don’t run
long enough
Testing mistake #5:
#thinkppc
#thinkppc
You don’t test full
weeks at a time
Testing mistake #6:
#thinkppc
#thinkppc
You run tests when
you have no traffic
Testing mistake #7:
#thinkppc
•Learn more: http://conversionxl.com/how-to-do-conversion-
optimization-with-very-little-traffic/
#thinkppc
Test data is not sent
to third-party
analytics
Testing mistake #8:
#thinkppc
#thinkppc
(function(){
var experimentID = 2809164105;
window.optimizely = window.optimizely || [];
if (typeof window.optimizely.data.experiments[experimentID] !== 'undefined') {
var experimentName = window.optimizely.data.experiments[experimentID].name;
var variationName =
window.optimizely.data.state.variationNamesMap[experimentID];
window.ga = window.ga || function() {(window.ga.q = window.ga.q ||
[]).push(arguments);}; window.ga.l =+ new Date();
window.ga('send', 'event', 'Optimizely', experimentID + ' ' + experimentName,
variationName, {'nonInteraction': 1});
}
})();
#thinkppc
Peep Laja, ConversionXL @peeplaja
#thinkppc
You give up after your
first test for a
hypothesis fails.
Testing mistake #9:
#thinkppc
#thinkppc
Full case study:
http://conversionxl.com/case-study-how-we-improved-landing-page-conversion/
79.3% uplift in conversions
#thinkppc
#thinkppc
#thinkppc
#thinkppc
#thinkppc
#thinkppc
#thinkppc
You’re not aware of
validity threats
Testing mistake #10:
#thinkppc
History effect
Instrumentation effect
Selection effect
#thinkppc
You’re ignoring small
gains
Testing mistake #11:
#thinkppc
5% monthly increase in
your conversion rate will
result in 80% uplift for
the year. That’s how
math works.
#thinkppc
You copy competitors
/ leaders / other
people’s tests
Testing mistake #12:
#thinkppc
Which Test Won?
#thinkppc
WhichTestWon?
WhichTestWasNot
RunProperly?
#thinkppc
Somebody else’s test
results are useless
#thinkppc
“Site shows stats from
various A/B tests - Finally
I've got evidence to show
clients on a load of
design decisions!”
#thinkppc
#thinkppc
The process, the
method, the analysis
#thinkppc
You’re not running tests
at all times
Testing mistake #13:
