December 9, 2014

SiteSpect-sponsored whitepaper, written by Eric Peterson of Web Analytics Demystified, helps marketers maximize their online ROI

Whether your business is still building out a “Web 2.0” presence, being constrained by shrinking budgets, or working under the mandate to “go mobile,” multivariate testing technology can help you make the best possible decisions. With testing in place, the traditional “highest paid person’s opinion” is augmented with comparative data coming directly from your company’s most important decision makers: your website visitors.

To be successful with their testing technology deployments, companies need to think beyond the technology itself and begin to consider the non-obvious requirements for success. What can you do to maximize your testing program? In a new whitepaper published by SiteSpect today, marketers and analysts will learn the top ten best practices for implementing a world-class testing program. The whitepaper, written by Eric Peterson of Web Analytics Demystified, can be downloaded for free at https://www.sitespect.com/testingsuccess (registration required). It details customer case studies and gives readers in-depth information about each best practice.

“The fact that so many companies are waking up to the idea of multivariate testing for website optimization is incredibly exciting,” says Eric T. Peterson, CEO of the consulting group Web Analytics Demystified, Inc. “But companies are often surprised at how much is involved in being a successful tester. This whitepaper, generously sponsored by SiteSpect, addresses the non-obvious requirements to leverage testing for competing aggressively online.”

What’s covered in the new whitepaper? Here are the first five of the top ten best practices that are discussed in detail:

  • Best Practice #1: Form a Great Testing Team
  • Best Practice #2: Get Your Stakeholders on Board
  • Best Practice #3: Write a (Formal) Testing Plan
  • Best Practice #4: Think About Measurement
  • Best Practice #5: Clearly Define “Success” and “Failure”
