I always wonder about wasting 9 hours a day for marketing or whatever you called it an “Optimization” a website with whether powerful resources or implementation of useless and ridiculous strategies but still i love to play with optimization through different channels by making some ways of my own or cheating with other’s website.

it is definitely an informative article
i can’t agree you more on the incremental optimization.
what’s more,the example is vivid.

Despite my best persuasive efforts, most of my clients go for total redesign or nothing at all. Don’t want to know about incremental optimization – these aren’t mom and pop outfits either. Totally frustrating; I really sometimes wonder why I bother.

Good article.

I agree on the incremental optimization. It is a bit paradoxal, because one strives for the upper layers, which is the “goal” , what you want to reach with the levels under it.

Like all good ideas it sounds simple, so it is amazing that so few people follow through with a structured approach like you suggest. Excellent framework, thanks.

The good news is that if you are reading blogs like this you are already in the top 50% of site owners.

The good news is that if you are reading blogs like this you are already in the top 50% of site owners.

If you are doing anything at all to optimise your site you are in the top 25%.

If you are doing A/B split testing properly then you could start to just make random changes and you would still ratchet your conversion rate upwards.

Sure, people don’t like the idea of swallowing an elephant whole. Often I find when you talk to people about doing a bit at a time and telling them it might increase the conversion rate a fraction each time, they think it’s a lot of hassle and will take a lot of time. They’d rather stick to what they know and pour more water into their leaky bucket, than try patching it up!

Great article! I have never implemented a 100% complete optimization of any website, mostly because my websites are so big. The other reason is I like to document and test all changes. By changing one thing at a time, I can detail what changes are working and not working. If you change multiple things and you do not get the affect you were looking for, you don’t know where the problem is? It could be everything you changed, or just a small factor that is causing the hiccup.

Great incite. The problem with eating an elephant one bite at a time is you still have to eat some pretty yucky bits you won’t enjoy. But there are people out there who really like those unsavoury bits.. .so just find them and let them at it.

Great post. I have observied this “swallowing the elephant whole” phenomenon many times as well. I agree that baby steps are the way to go as you can test each one as you go to ensure your changes are in fact bringing the anticipated results.
