Make over your site using the wisdom of the crowd
14. Januar 2009
It used to be that the design of a website was always left to a single web designer and some good ideas, but with
Google Website Optimizer
, Google's free testing and optimization tool, a website can harness the input of thousands of its visitors to produce results that really matter.
Last June
we announced
the Website Workout contest to see which of our AdWords advertisers wanted to give their sites an extreme makeover. After asking thousands of advertisers why their sites needed makeovers, we chose four of the most compelling cases, and they were paired with consultants who helped them set up experiments using Website Optimizer.
Website Optimizer allows you to create multiple versions of your webpage (maybe one version with a red button and one with a blue) and evaluate which variation best meets your goals (whether that is sign-ups, purchases, or simply having visitors click to another page). The tool uses traffic data and advanced statistical formulas to figure out, according to your visitors, what makes your website the most useful.
Well, we are happy to announce the winners of the Website Workout contest and share some videos highlighting their experiences. Be sure to
check them out
, you might be surprised by what sorts of changes can make a big difference.
For example, by changing the layout of their product page,
Colonial Candle
was able to increase the number of candles they sold by 20% and improve sales by $20,000 in one month.
