A/B Testing [PODCAST]

Updated on


Dan Siroker wanted to increase the percentage of people who signed up for Obama’s email list. So he created two versions of the website. Half the visitors saw version A with the “Sign up” button, and half saw version B, “Learn more”.

That’s A/B testing. And it is everywhere. It shapes everything online. It’s invading stores. And schools. Even the first paragraph of this post was A/B tested. Today on the show: What you want and how we, and the rest of the world, give it to you.

Music: Barry Donnelly’s “Awakening 1” and Aaron Gilbert and David Walters’s “Take It Up (a).” Find us: Twitter/ Facebook/ Spotify/ Tumblr.
