Helpful Tip: Setup a "Testing" Page to Grab Code

In G Optimizer you need to replace sections of code within a given Test Page (Experiment)with alternative code. I found it easiest to copy the page in my development environment, renaming it from sales.php to test_sales.php or whatever, with no intent to ever upload it.

From there you can tweak the various aspects you want to test, such as headings, sales pitch, price or price font size, whatever...all on the test_sales.php without worrying about screwing up your original. Then, you can copy and paste the code section into G optimizer more easily: the start/stop sections are easy to loacte since they are surrounded by the same code as the actual Test Page - this makes it easier for placing your Test Section code.

One thing I've done to facilitate mutli-variant testing with G optimizer is to "modulize" my sales pages. It's worked like a charm. If you go here: Labradoodle Guide and view source you can see what I've done. Makes it very, very easy in G optimizer.

eajohnson - I dont see your g optimizer tags in there - what Im guessing you're talking about is sectioning off the whole page into rotatble test sections...
