Split-Testing ASP pages

Hi!

I'm looking for software (or a service) that can split-test ASP pages for a friend. Google's built-in a/b testing interface doesn't work with these pages, and adding tracking codes to the url leads to an error page. So I'm looking for something that can work with ASP, or at least doesn't use tracking codes in the URL itself. He can add new pages to test against the older ones, but it's not practical for him to switch his entire site to PHP or HTML at this time.

Thanks!

PS: He doesn't get enough traffic for multivariate testing to be effective, so he's going with A/B testing.

 

What do you mean exactly with "Google's built-in a/b testing interface"? Could you provide the feature's official name?

 

He means the website optimiser and my company has database driven pages so we can't use it either

 

We are currently faced with a similar problem. Though we havn't actually "solved" it yet, through talks I learned that it may be possible to use some jv code in the background that will supposedly work around this. I have no idea what this entails, but maybe someone else has heard of this before?

 

I'm not sure if it has an official "Feature Name" (other than "website optimizer") as it's just a part of AdWords. It just allows you to compare one page to another for conversion comparison. It doesn't work with ASP pages

 

You may succeed using WO (Website Optimizer) on some Dynamic pages cases if you use each experiment on different DIV sections and use the WO section script to place a script that hide/show the desired section.

It works with PHP and probably will work with ASP too.

example:

<DIV name="_CASE_A" id="_CASE_A">

<!-- Place your CASE_A Dynamic script here -->

</DIV>



<DIV name="_CASE_B" id="_CASE_B">

<!-- Place your CASE_B Dynamic script here -->

</DIV>

HTML:

USe the following script (for exampe) as funcion to show/hide each DIV section:

	<script type="text/javascript">
	function showhideview(name1, show1) {
	
		elements1 = document.getElementsByName(name1);
		
		if (show1 == '0' )
			   status1 = 'none';
		else
			   status1 = 'block';        
		
		
		for (i = 0; i < elements1.length; i++)
		   elements1[i].style.display = status1;
		
	   return;
	}
</script>

HTML:

Finally inside the section code place a script calling the funcion to show the default section (section A):

		<script>utmx_section("SWITCH AB")</script>
			<script type="text/javascript">

showhideview('_CASE_A', 1); 
showhideview('_CASE_B', 0);



			</script>
		</noscript>

HTML:

now on WO interface, place the section B to show (create a new Section for 'SWITCH AB'):

			<script type="text/javascript">

showhideview('_CASE_A', 0); 
showhideview('_CASE_B', 1);



			</script>

HTML:

Be sure to test it on both browsers: IE and FF
