Double the Value of Your Online Testing

I just watched a great Webinar put on by Dr. Flint McGlaughin (Director of MECLABS Group) on MarketingExperiments.com

In summary, the Webinar talks about the 'Testing Cycle'. Not just from a marketing standpoint, but also in a scientific/psychological one. The 3 phase Testing Cycle progresses from Radical Redesgins, Focused Variable Clusters, and finally, Single Variable Testing. The benefits, limitations, context-specific insights, and meta-theoretical insights are also discussed in this 'gold mine'.

What is your Keyword rank score called? ...Quality scores for Google.

A "Quality Score" for Google is a dynamic metric assigned to each of your keywords. It's calculated using a variety of factors. A quality score measures how relevant your keyword is to your ad group and to a user's search query. The higher a Keyword Quality Score(KQS), the lower it costs per click(CPCs), and the better its ad position.

Google and other players of the search network, calculate it every time your keyword matches a search query. The QS helps ensure that only the most relevant ads appear to users.

Contact Capitalsal to discuss how you can improve your Quality Score.

Web Analyst Archetype

I was doing some qreading(quick reading) and came across an article about archetypes of Web Analysts and how using tools such as GA(Google Analytics) or coremetrics is only one facet of the business. Basically many say that s/he needs to be well rounded in fields other their specialty, allowing them tap into personas, psychs, and commonalities of their clients.

One thing that I would like to mention is that the "Archetype" of the future Web Analyst that is discussed in other posts, is that s/he is a hot commodity in limbo these days. At least in 2010.

People are only "starting" to realize the value in a Web Analyst, which means that more education/teaching needs to happen for this to grow. (There's an opportunity here) Remember technology is about speed and productivity. If everyone were up to speed, then everything would be faster right? You could move along with advances and take a holistic approach to learn from your mistakes...Good luck!

It takes time for that time to come; where everyone understands what needs to be understood. It can and will happen though! In other words, a collective consciousness. It's important for the WA(Web Analyst) to broaden his or her horizon to be able to apply metaphorical filters to the data and then communicate it effectively to each department. This is when the Web Analyst begins to use a different "play on words" and also passes through language barriers, becoming a "language barrier ninja".

Complete Rankings Data


The following ranking factors were rated by our panel of 72 SEO experts. Their feedback is aggregated and averaged into the percentage scores below. For each, we’ve calculated the degree to which the experts felt this factor was important for achieving high rankings as well as the degree of variance in opinion, estimated using the standard deviation of the contributors’ answers. Thus, factors that are high in importance and low in contention are those where experts agree the most that the factor is critical to rankings.
