How Do I Split-Test Correctly? (8)
Hey everyone, hope it's an amazing end of the week for you.
I read the threads about tracking and I must say those helped me a lot, a special thank you to caurmen for putting together such informations for people entering this world.
I am concerned about something, that I didn't really understood fully...
...how do I split test correctly?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not like this...
...Instead like this:
How can I do this?
I understood that there are 3 systems involved in tracking the campaigns: traffic source - aff tracker - affiliate network...
But I am very confused about this part, the split-testing one.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do have another question related to this topic if I can.
I see lots of affilates running the campaign like this:
AD -> LP (on www.domain1.com) -> user clicks on a lp link -> www.domain2.com (then redirects to offer)
having a domain2 redirecting to the offer will mess up your tracking? Or I just need to have postback url from aff network setted correctly on tracker and I am fine?

Checkout Funnelflux (https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...Your-STM-Promo), It'll complete your split testing needs for sure.
FunnelFlux is tracker, so you won't need another tracker.

I am using
Hey Matt- I'm still a rough beginner at this, but thought maybe my perspective would be helpful in that regard.
I use
I just split test by creating new landing pages continually, each with a slightly different url.
So to start I might have the following in my tracker:
LP 0001 - First Version of LP: www.website.com/amazing-offer
LP 0002 - 0001 w longer headline: www.website.com/amazingoffer
LP 0003 - 0001 w button above image: www.website.com/incredible-offer
Each would get 33% of the traffic sent to it via the rotation setup in your campaign.
Each one would be set up to send lp clicks on it to two different offers each at a 50% share.
I guess it depends on how your tracker is set up but basically you are creating separate landing pages and separate offers in your tracker, then when you create a campaign you tell it how to rotate the landing pages and how to rotate the offers, then you get one tracker link for that campaign which you insert into each ad in the traffic source. That link along with the links in your landing pages will all do the rotating themselves.
Hope that helps

So basically I just setup some subdomains and host the lp's each on a different subdomain. Thank you Jack! =)
No problem
And yeah I have used both Landerbolt and Clickfunnels to do it. If you are on a plan with a limited number of lp's allowed then I just delete them as I go. So far none of my traffic sources have complained about the variety of url's or thought I was cloaking or something from the url constantly changing. Then again they are all almost identical so hopefully even if it triggered their system they would see that it was innocent.
I'm not sure if other people do it differently or not but that is what has worked for me!

Thank you Amy! Always helpful.
Will need to do some research now to get more familiar with this.
Expect a follow along soon!
