One of the first things I remember thinking when I started into the world of online marketing is "Hmmm, I wonder if I can really do this? I don't know any HTML or java". I was a bit worried to say the least! How could I compete with the "big" internet companies when I didn't even know how to make a word appear in bold? "I'm dead meat" I thought."

It only makes sense. You have an e-commerce catalog site. You want lots of visitors to come to your site and buy. The best (and most cost-effective) way to do that is with great search engine placement. However, search engines are text machines, and most catalogs don't have a lot of text, so herein lies the problem."

Want to know what the worst thing to say on a homepage is?
"Welcome to our homepage." And yet, time after time, we all come across such homepages on the Internet. The reason that this is such a poor opening gambit is the fact that the visitor already knows he / she is looking at your homepage, what's the point in teaching them to suck eggs? "

What Is A CMS?
A Content Management System (CMS) allows you to add, edit or delete content to your website without having to create and format the pages manually. All the pages get generated on the fly, the CMS application picks the template, adds the headers and footers, generates the menus and blocks for your page and then automatically renders the page."

Mike Cheney writes: "Failure, just like success, is measured differently by each and every one of us. What one man treats as success another may view as failure. For the purposes of this article a website that fails is one that fails to attract and convert enough targeted visitors into paying customers. Yeah - positive feedback from your website visitors is great but let's face it - we're all in this ultimately to make more money."

There is a wealth of information out there about the benefits of split-run testing or how to conduct such tests, and a huge selection of software solutions that help to implement it.
I'm am not going to attempt to describe the concepts of testing, nor will I pitch any software solution.
I want to talk about why so many people fail in their attempt to improve the conversion rate of their sites while using split-run testing techniques. "
