Hey guys welcome to this edition of Tutorial Sunday in this video I’m going To teach you how to run a be testing Without paying a lot of money for a be Testing software when you start having Pages that make money on your authority Sites you will often want to a/b test The layout or the content to try to Optimize the conversion and try to Increase your revenue the problem is if You want to do that it’s usually pretty Expensive to get a software that’s easy To use or it’s very complicated and you Need to deal with a lot of code I’ve Found a solution that combines the ease Of use of a tool like Optimizely that Costs from $79 a month’s the $19 version There’s no way you can run proper a be Testing with only 2,000 visitors but it Starts at $79 a month it’s almost as Good and you can do it for basically Free I’m going to show you exactly how To do that let’s get started So for a lot of people that don’t know About it Google Analytics has a built in a/b Testing tool for free so you can Actually a be test your content Completely free unlimited amount of Visits and you will be able to tie it Back to your Google Analytics goals and See which content performs better the Problem is it’s pretty hard to set up Usually and also it doesn’t really help
You visually edit your content which is A big problem but I’ve combined the Power of Google Analytics and the power Of thrive content builder to build an A/b testing tool that allows you to Visually edit your content let me just Show you how this work the first thing You need to do is you need to go into Your WordPress site and pick a page you Want to a/b test in that case I’m going To take the formatting blog post because It is performing quite well for me and It’s done like the most amount of cells On the whole site so I’m just going to Take that post and duplicate it so I’m Just going to clone it and you have the Option in WordPress by default so it’s Pretty easy to use and once I clicked on The clone button it’s just opening the Clone version of the content and then I Can just go and edit it on thrive Content builder I’m going to put a link To build it below but basically I can Then just stop editing the alternative Version of the content I want to put up There so probably this thing I would Want to do here is I would want to Mention the tool a lot earlier and I’m Actually promoting thrive content Builder in that blog post so what I will Do is I’m probably going to add an intro Paragraph just describing you know the Tool I’m using I’d say like if you’re in A hurry
The tool I’m using to create beautiful Blog posts is called thrive content Builder form Feel free to click the link and check Out the video to see how it works and Here I will just put my link right and I Would probably put it in a italic and I Would just put a link to thrive content Builder I’m not going to do it for this Video We’ll just take a lot of time I’ll just Put a link so you guys visualize what Our a/b testing so basically my goal is To figure out if I can make more sales By putting a link on top of the post Rather than waiting for people to read The whole thing and see the first link Here which is pretty low in the post so I’m just going to say that version and Then basically what happens is I can Publish it but I will make sure it Doesn’t get indexed by Google because I Don’t want this to be considered as Duplicate content so you go in your WordPress SEO by yoast and then you can Choose to no index it and nofollow it And basically that page is going to not Count for Google and I’m also going to Make sure that I put the correct title It puts clone off usually in front and I’m going to edit the URL as well so I’ll just instead of put clone off I’ll Just put a little two at the end so I Know what I’m talking about when I link
To the URL and that basically creates my Duplicate post I also use a plug-in Called WP height post so I can control The visibility of the post you can see Here I can see I can hide it from the Front page category page tag pages etc So basically that page is going to be Invisible to anyone that doesn’t just Enter the URL all runs in the a/b test So once I’ve done that I can just Publish the post and I have my second Version of my post published on my site Now what I need to do is I need to put Google Analytics to work so that it can Serve the two pages alternatively see Which one converts the best based on my Goals so the way I do that is in Google Analytics you can log in and then if you Go into behavior experiments then you Are able to create experiments so I’m Going to create an experiment called Compton formatting which is the post I’m Testing right now and then I can pick a Metric I haven’t said the goals now but I could set the goal I think this one is Commenting so I could just be like Checking hukum and small based on the Version of the post or I could have an Event on my link click and I could check That as well so I could actually get Back to the revenue then I could show You the percentage of traffic I’d like To experiment with in that case a Hundred percent if you want to run fast
If you want to take a page that already Makes good money and tries to do big Changes maybe run it on 10 or 25% and Then you can set this Threshold that you want the experiment To stop at so when you want to know 99% 95% and you can just choose whenever you Want the experiment to stop it’s Basically the exact same as an optimized D or a paid tool but it’s free um once You’ve done that then you have to select Your experiment and that’s pretty easy Actually I just need to take the URL of That post and run it against the Original which is just formatting I Think so if I just put this against this Then we basically have the two pages Loading you can see the first one has my Link on top and the second one won’t Because that’s my original and you could Put as many variations as you want so The software can really test all of These and actually I could click next Step and if I want to set up my Experiment code which is a little bit of A painting yes in WordPress there is Also a plug-in I’m going to link below The video called WordPress experiments So all I need to do when I want to Insert my code is go back and I need to Enzo in the original not in the copy so That’s the copy and I’m going to go back To the original so once I’m back to Editing my original I have that new
Contextual menu that comes for the Plug-in I told you to pick on below that Video and then you can just click an Ableton experiment on that page and then You can put your control your code here That you get from Google Analytics if You say manually insert the code they Give you the code here and then you can Just put it here and save your page What’s done that you should be ready to Run the experiment and then you can just Click next step and what Google is going To do is it’s going to validate that on The post and you can see that it found Everything and it was no problem and Basically I can just start my experiment And that’s it now Google Analytics is Running my experiment and I’m able to Actually just edit my pages visually Like I would do in an ultimately or any Other a be testing software so if I run Drive content builder because then I can Just like add content or click and edit It on the different variations of my Pages so as long as I just know my URLs That I use are thrive content builder to Edit visually Then I use the plugins that I’ve given You you will be able to basically run The same thing that people charge you $80 per months to do so that’s quite Powerful and that should help you a lot If you have pages that start making Money and you want to make more money
