Google Website Optimizer

Google has become the most important search engine because it is used by the majority of online users. This has resulted in businesses needing to take steps to optimize their websites to make them Google search engine friendly and increase their search engine rankings. It has become essential for a business website to rank on the first page of a Google ‘search’ that is related to their business in order to reach their targeted customers. The Google Website Optimizer is a key tool to helping a business increase online visibility.

The Google Website Optimizer is a tool that permits website owners to test various versions of their site content so they can determine what will best attract their targeted audience. In other words, they test different versions of the content on their live site to learn what will lead to the highest conversion rates.

There are a number of benefits to using the Google Website Optimizer. For instance, testing various versions of a website landing page will help you identify the best content that causes users to take action. Because the landing page is the main page used to attract users, using multivariate tests on such things as promotional text, headlines, calls to action, and images, the goal of your page can effectively achieved and the page communicates the call to action you want users to take.

The Website Optimizer allows you to create experiments where you test your landing page and a conversion page. You tag these pages with experiment tags that Google provides. You will then push the tagged versions of your pages live. Once your pages are tagged, you can make the rest of the changes. You can add different variations of content to test into the Website Optimizer tool. You will then launch the experiment. When your test page is opened in a browser, the experiment tags on your page will contact the Website Optimizer and request a set of variations to display on the test page. When a user visits your test page, they will see one combination of your content variations. If the user proceeds to your conversion page, Google will record a conversion. After you launch your experiment, Google will provide you with reports about performance of your test content.

Testing will enable you to identify what users respond to best so you can create a website that will be more effective in getting your desired business you want. The only way to figure out what content will work best on your site is to test different content. The Google Website Optimizer will help you study the effects of different content on your users so that you can create the most profitable website.
