Case Study #3:
Maximizing Your Profits
By Focusing On The Winners
Right From The Start
I personally used this to test dozens of different
headline so fast it increased the conversion rate of
our landing page by 200% in one day.
Here's how it's done. I came up with 3 headlines
I wanted to test, put up some PPC ads, and after 169 visitors,
Conversion Prophet was predicting that headline #1 was going
to be the most profitable one.

(After few visitors, I already
know which of the 3 headlines is the best one:
The first headline was read the most at the rate of 78.6%)
Then, after 4,512 visitors the Conversion Prophet
stats confirmed the predictions of headline #1, which
was indeed the most profitable one, outpulling
the second best headline by a whopping 23%.
So, if I had focused on just running headline
#1, I'd have gotten 95 sales (at the conversion rate of
2.1% for headline #1 and 4,512 visitors in total), which
is 14 sales more.
Since I sold our product in $67, that means
I would have gotten an extra $938 just
by focusing our efforts in the headline Conversion Prophet
predicted was the best.
(This stats prove that headline
#1 was the most effective, a fact which
I wouldn't have known right from the beginning without Conversion
Prophet)
Indeed, the first headline came out to be the best one in
both conversion and attention rate.
Now, let's breakdown what I just accomplished...
With only 150 visitors I discovered which
of the three headline is the best attention grabbing
headline... accomplishing the crucial first step of the
AIDA process.
If I hadn't used AIDA formula on the headlines,
I could've never known the first headline was the winner.
At that point, I either had to drive more traffic or guess
and go with the 2nd headline because it had the most sales.
(By the way, the 2nd headline came out to be the worst headline
at the end.)
150 visitors is all it
took for me to find out the best headline. Who knows how
many visitors I needed without AIDA tracking. Probably a
few thousand.
How Much Time & Money Did I Save?
Let's do a table comparison of AIDA tracking
vs traditional split testing for this headline test I did.
The headlines together converted at 1.8%.
I got around 100 visitors per day with a cost of 15 cents
per click (visitor). and we need 30 actions as the minimum
amount of sales to determine a statistically significant
(i.e. fairly accurate) conclusion, let's do the comparison...

(Result breakdown of AIDA

As you can see, I just saved $651.45 in
testing costs, but even more importantly, saved over 43
days (or 6 weeks)!
Or if are a testing junkie like me, you could
test hundreds and hundreds of headlines with the same $676.80
and 45 days.
And it doesn't stop at headlines... you can
test any element you wish... background color, opening paragraph,
call to action, testimonials, post scripts, pictures, or
any other element... with Conversion Prophet the sky is
the limit.
