Win Copies of Bryan Eisenberg’s New Book “Always Be Testing”

posted on August 26, 2008


UPDATE: Winners announced here.

Usability guru and best-selling author Bryan Eisenberg is back with another great book. Always Be Testing: The Complete Guide to Google Website Optimizer sees Eisenberg team up with John Quarto-vonTivadar, and Lisa T. Davis to deliver the definitive guide to Google’s web page multivariate testing tool.

I’ve just finished reading Always Be Testing which finally opened my eyes to just how easy Website Optimizer is to use and just how valuable it is for any web site owner. Following Eisenberg’s advice, I’ve not only set up the perfect multivariate web page test, but I also know which variables to test.

If you rely on your web site to generate even just a few pennies in revenue, you must pick up a copy of this book! And, in case a new book purchase is not in your budget, Bryan Eisenberg has graciously offered to give away some copies to Marketing Pilgrim readers.

We have 3 copies of Always Be Testing to give away. One of the three lucky winners will receive a signed copy AND copies of Eisenberg’s other great books Call to Action and Waiting for Your Cat to Bark.

How to enter this contest? Simply leave a comment below and we’ll randomly pick 3 winners (deadline for entry is 9am ET Wednesday).

That’s all you need to do! And, if you’re not a lucky winner, you can be a winner anyway by picking up a copy of Always Be Testing!

    Andy, are you sure about not knowing full the power of A/B testing? That is hard to believe.

    The inner scientist within some of us developers/marketers jumped for joy when this technology came out.

    Unless you want to pay for an endless supply of focus groups you better start A/B and multivariate testing now.

    BTW, you ABC interview was well done.

    I think usability continues to be a hard thing to “sell” in a corporate environment, but I think that you can at least implement some level of testing with staff.

    A/B Testing is where the value of your site goes beyond just a $ value. You generate cash, but your also educating your customer/user in often times a much faster process. Therefore bringing each user a higher conversion.

    Nevermind, it’s all about the the ROI. ;)

    The biggest problem with Website Optimzer is the time required to complete most tests. Unless you have a ton of traffic to the test page, limit the test to A/B (not multivariate), or are testing dramatically different versions, Website Optimizer takes far to long to form an opinion and therefore is not that practical.

  • MikeTek

    I’ve been interested in reading this one since Dr. Pete reviewed it at UserEffect.com. Here’s the link if anyone’s interested (it’s a great review): Book Review: Always Be Testing.
