Provide Google with the different site designs you want to test. You can try different headlines, images, text content, overall look of the design, etc. When visitors come to your site, the Website Optimizer will show the different designs to the visitors and tell you which leads to the most conversions. The reports allow you to quickly determine and implement the best strategies.

Google Website Optimizer gives you the ability to quickly test your site elements and identify those that are working and those that aren’t.

Your customers will decide for you the most effective content and layout. Google provides considerable assistance with web seminars and videos, articles and tips, and advanced testing strategies.
