WordPress News and Updates on Conversion

As a business using a WordPress website, you want to get the most from your online efforts. You have invested time and money on the design and promotion of your website so that it gets traffic and converts well. However, if you aren’t using A/B conversion testing, your website is under performing in both the traffic it attracts as well as its conversion of that traffic.

If you are familiar with A/B testing, you may be wondering what testing has to do with increasing your traffic levels. If your web page or blog post titles don’t inspire traffic in the SERPs to click through, you aren’t getting the greatest return on your SEO efforts since that traffic is passing up your web page in favor of one of your competitor’s. Improving your titles with testing takes care of the problem.

Likewise, your web page design elements are under performing if you haven’t optimized them with A/B testing. For those unfamiliar with A/B testing, it means testing variations of different page elements to see which improve your conversions.

The fascinating thing about testing is that even small changes can cause big increases in conversion rates. For example, landing page conversion rates are substantially improved when they have images of people. However, you can’t know this for sure on your website without testing because the behavior of traffic can vary depending on the niche. You may also want to test images of different people to further improve conversions.
