The video is pretty good, but it just shows too much. It needs to be simple enough a child can understand the value. Maybe 1 minute long. Most people don't even get what multivariate testing is, or why it's important. Maybe show a name brand site or a site going from making $1000 to making $2000 or whatever. "Conversion improvement of 423% = $3253 more revenue per month".

Honestly though I'm impressed. You have a great product and good pitch. Those bastards should write about you. Either way you should also contact the dozens of smaller niche blogs (especially SEO/SEM sites).



Thank you! Considered showing a video of doing A/B test on a popular site (such as Amazon or even Google) but then was scared of all legal issues it may crop up.

To try with Amazon.com, simply head over to http://dev.visualwebsiteoptimizer.com/first_time_ab.php?demo... and enter the URL. You don't even require code on the site to start designing tests.

Now if I only could convince bloggers to at least have a look :)


This is just a minor piece of feedback on the video and site itself but.. I didn't understand how i get my site to work with your 'visual designer.' My site is complex, has lots of CSS, etc. How can I just type in a few fonts into a wysiwyg editor and start? :P

This is the key piece to the 'duh' moment that I'm missing. If you could spend a second to give an example of how THAT piece works, you could probably cut out 75% of the rest of the video :)
