Split testing is a way that every business in the world can use to increase the conversion rate of their sales pages. When your sales pages are just not generating the conversion rate that you expected, what can you do? Increasing the conversion rate of your pages means that you need to find out exactly what triggers the buying or clicking impulse of the people that are viewing your site.
Understanding Split Testing
Split testing is the process of splitting your traffic into two different groups. After splitting the traffic into two groups you send each group to a different version of your site.
In order to get the two groups to different versions of the site you will have to make use of strategic marketing to guide them. Changing your marketing to include links to both pages is fairly simple regardless of the mediums that you use.
With traffic flowing to each version of your page you can track which of the versions is a money maker and which is a dud.
Keep the version that converts the best and get rid of the one that is weaker. Repeating this process for each element that you want to test will dive your conversion rate higher.
