This series of articles began life as a conference talk. Even if you saw the talk, you will benefit from reading the articles, because they contain many more resources and examples.

To every client we apply the CRE Methodology, which begins with us researching the client’s visitors, to understand
Fortune magazine described our approach as “a combination of multivariate statistical analysis and good old-fashion detective work.”

Any conversion practitioner should be able to quickly recognize each conversion killer when they see signs of it in research data. Some of the killers are subtle; if you miss them, you will waste your time working on the wrong aspect of your business. We see this happen a lot.
A good conversion practitioner should also know many strategies for overcoming each killer. For example, there are over a hundred ways of overcoming Conversion Killer #7 (“Lack of trust in your company”), and some of them are much more effective than others. For each killer, we will describe strategies that are interesting, little known or often overlooked.
Almost all the conversion killers are about visitors’ behavior. But the first two are about how you behave. The first killer is you if you aren’t A/B testing the changes you make to your website. If so, you aren’t alone. Most businesses make major changes to their websites without testing them. In fact, even companies that own A/B testing software often don’t use it. It just sits on their servers gathering virtual dust.
In our article about web design, we explain why (and how) the most successful web companies work. Testing is part of their standard workflow. If you aren’t running A/B tests, you should read it now.
If you don’t already have A/B-testing software, this article shows you what your options are.
This article is the first in a series. The next part is here.
