Google Website Optimizer Cartoons
I’m a sucker for a good cartoon. Not only are they humorous and entertaining, they’re also wonderful ways to express an idea.
While attending a Google Website Optimizer presentation, our good friend Sean D’Souza crafted some cartoons that do a great job of “getting the point across.”
It’s amazing when you actually take the time to do testing, how all that accumulated learning leads to some pretty impressive results. It may not happen all at once, but, in the long run, you’re going to win.
Check out the rest of the cartoons inspired by the presentation.
P.S. – If you haven’t read Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics, you’re missing out.

Hey Holly: Thanks for finding and posting a link to the cartoons. As you may know, Google Blogs found it interesting too, and posted it on their blog. I think your readers will find the cartoons unusual too–especially the ‘landing pages’ cartoon.

I especially liked the one about “Possible Optimizer Applications”. I also find myself too many times thinking about the internet. last week when we all left the office to make sushi together and get away from the internet all I could think about was how much sushi was like internet marketing. You may find yourself identifying and smiling when looking at these pictures: http://www.aims.co.il/pr/japanes-chinese-seo-pics.html

If it works I’ll take all the credit – if it goes worng I’ll being going over to Jarrods desk and smacking him around the head, (only joking about the physical violence… I promise).
