How To Run Split Tests on Outbound Links with Google Tag Manager

January 28, 2020 by James McNulty Leave a Comment

It’s been a while since I last used Google Optimize. After logging in recently I was quite impressed to see just how far the platform has come. If you’re not familiar (or haven’t looked at it in a while), I highly recommend checking it out. Here’s an article we wrote a while back that should give you an understanding of how it could be used for various user experience experiments.

Despite the vast customization options that Google Optimize now provides, there are some experiments that Google Optimize still can not perform. When we can’t run the tests we need on Google Optimize, we turn to Google Tag Manager, a tactic I thought I’d share today.

How Color Contrast Affects Conversions

I have very little aesthetic ability, but I can tell when something is too hard to read.

For example, here is “dimgray” font on a black background:

Not the easiest thing to read, is it?

We usually talk about optimizations and strategies that help improve your website’s ability to attract traffic or increase conversions but sometimes an optimization doesn’t need to have a measurable effect on the bottom line to make it worth doing. We should do them because it is the right thing to do. While we’re optimizing our sites for business-driven motivations we should also be making the web a better place. This includes making sure our sites adhere to privacy laws, treat our users with respect, and are usable by users of all types, even those with disabilities.

Today we’re going to discuss a site’s contrast and how to determine how easy a site is to read for users of all types. [Read more…] about How Color Contrast Affects Conversions

CRO Testing Methods Beyond A/B Testing

October 24, 2017 by Alex Ramadan Leave a Comment

Reshaping the CRO Testing Conversation

If I say CRO testing, what is the first thing that pops into your head? A/B testing, right? That might even be the only thing that comes to mind, but there is so much more to conversion rate optimization than A/B testing.

Conversion rate optimization is the process of increasing the percentage of visitors to your site who complete a desired action. How you do that can vary. If A/B testing is the best path to that achieving that, then great, but it isn’t the only way; anything you do to improve your conversion rate can be considered conversion rate optimization. One size does not fit all when it comes to CRO testing. [Read more…] about CRO Testing Methods Beyond A/B Testing

October 10, 2017 by James McNulty Leave a Comment
