A/B testing, — when every other site visitor sees a different version of the same page — is a CRO (conversion rate optimization) tactic, also called split testing. Webdirexion has a long history of such tests because of all digital marketing tactics we believe this one to be at the top in terms of ROI and simply gathering more qualified leads for sales you can close. Here, we write tips, tactics and techniques you can apply.
Most people know about A/B testing… but what about A/B/C testing?
With any website and the larger sales funnel, the wise digital marketer is always testing for better conversion results. Does this have to be a major, time-consuming task? No. Do you have to push yourself? Yes.
Today we’ll look at A/B/C testing for a headline and consider both why we want to create such a test and how it compares to other forms of testing.
Let’s look at one we have running right now. We have written three landing page headlines and our testing hypothesis is that only one will compel more visitors to convert to leads.

Content strategy is a critical component to the success of your online marketing strategy. This blog post is the first in a series of articles where we will discuss successful content strategy tips for the modern marketer of the future.

Then I’ll answer the oft-asked question… how do you know when you have enough of a test sample so that your results are valid? Quick tip — the wider the percentage of conversion results, the sooner you can end the test; see below. (more…)
