I just watched a video that goes in to great detail on Google optimizer. I was very transliterated in the face that you can do experiments on conversion rates when visitors click to place an order. I am an affiliate marketer so there are links to buy pages on my monetizing pages. Since the visitor is taken to an affiliates site to buy how can I use Google optimizer to do research and experiments. My best money maker has 5 pages that promote the product from various points of vies and each page has different keywords, Please let me know how to use Google optimizer for this purpose.
Well this is not exactly the world's easiest question is it? Now I only learned about this tool recently - from a client, lol, but I understand that it is a multi-variate/split testing tool, and will test conversion outcomes that you set. So in your case you're looking for: clicks conversions You're looking to make more cash which would come from more of the above. The tool just lets you test variations of pages and measure those outcomes. See where this is going? So you make different variations to test. And you set it (somehow) to look for the highest affiliate link clickthroughs. And depending on the affiliate program you could also (potentially) pass different tracking tokens for each unique variation of your page (you might be able to build a compound tracking string like headline1-image3-footer5 - just off the top of my head). Optimizer of course can't look at your affiliate conversion stats, but it will tell you which page version has the most clicks. So at the end of the exercise you'll know: Page combination that gives the most clicks - definitively - through the conversion tool's smart statistical analysis. Page combinations that gave you orders - this won't be definitive just an indicator. Phew. Enjoy that.
