			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Simple language differences and tiny changes in presentation can be the difference between an extremely effective marketing campaign that nets you millions and a complete and utter failure.The Internet marketing world is a world of subtlety.</p>
<p>It is very difficult to predict, what change is to be brought in to have a more effective marketing strategy. Many people have suggested the idea of split testing.</p>
<p>It is one of the few research tools that an Internet marketer has at their disposal that actually guarantees more conversions &#8221; rather than simply implying that more conversions are supposed to occur. Split testing is a sales tactic that tests two different sales pages, keywords, PPC copy and other online sales tools using an equal number of impressions/views to see which one converts more effectively.</p>
<p>Here is an example: Imagine that you are buying advertisements through Google adwords in hopes that you will be able to maximize your hits per day. Start two ads at equal rates and put small differences in them. Add something subtle to one such as &#8220;money back guarantee&#8221; and leave the other one as it is.</p>
<p>You let your ad campaign run for a few days. See which ad is the first to 40 or 50 clicks and that ad is very likely your most successful PPC ad. With split testing, you would then take that result and say to yourself Okay, well, money back guarantee got me the most clicks &#8221; should I put that phrase in the beginning of the ad or at the end of the ad? Then you run the split testing again, with that small change.</p>
<p>When you have completed this, you will have your highest preforming ad. This technique can also be used for sales copy, newsletters or anything that will increase your conversations. Some people rotate their sales pages using software and see which one gets the most sales. Through this they will eventually find the perfect sales copy. It will have a high enough conversion rate to almost guarantee success in internet marketing.</p>
<p>Since emarketing is still developing, a lot of what we know to do relies more on anecdotes rather than any type of science. Random tests convey that science. If you use huge samples sizes it ascertains that the promotional ways you are using so that you can maximize on sales is the most valuable and successful method that there is. This method should therefore give you confidence that after all the promotions you are guaranteed of the best exchange rate there is.</p>
<p>Because of this, it is those marketers that are willing to use Split testing that tend to have the most success in the field. In many ways, the best marketers never stop split testing, as they continue to look for the pinnacle of ad copy in an ever changing online world. Split testing is one of the few effective research tools that you can use on your own work.</p>
<p>Start split testing today.</p>
