1. Yes, I absolutely love KISSmetrics tools… especially KISSinsights. Love it, love it.

2. That’s a great question. I know that Omniture Site Catalyst will enable you to test based on several user ‘attributes’ (e.g., operating system). And Visual Website Optimizer will let you segment tests by new or returning visitor. This seems to be a common request, so I assume most of these tools are starting to include segmentation options.

Hope that helps!!

One product I’m surprised didn’t get mentioned is Monetate. Really feature rich for getting conversions, doing A/B testing… even allows you to “geotarget”, e.g. showing the Golden Gate Bridge to San Francisco users, and showing the Liberty Bell to Philadelphia customers.

The interface isn’t as clean as some of the alternatives, but you can do a lot with it.

Lance, I have couple of questions if you don’t mind.

1) What do you think about KISSmetrics? You didn’t mention it on the show and I was wondering if you have any experience with it.

2) We’ll be implementing dynamic home page that shows different content based on the traffic source (and search keywords if from a search engine) and type of visitor (first time or repeat visitor). Do A/B testing tools work in this scenario? We would like to optimize home page for each visitor group separately because they are quite different.

Just small point, Google Analytics does support Events but never used it so cannot compare to MixPanel – just thought it worth mentioning

lol

I’m lucky enough to work with it, and I’m really thrilled about it.

so I ended up writing a blog post titled “Improving Web Conversions In 3 Key Steps”!

Thanks again to Lance and you guys for the great content.

For repeat visits, a user will continue to see the same version of a page when you’re running a test. So if your test remains open for, say, 3 weeks (which is pretty typical), any repeat visits by people will be accounted for and reflected in your test results.

Great questions!

On a more serious note, I remember a post on HN from a user named ordinaryman who released a tool in the same domain.

@AK, we currently give writers the ability to link directly to their feedback page, but it’s only feedback — not the page 99 content itself. I agree with you (and Justin & Jason) that we should probably just open it up and let writers invite their own contacts to anonymously vote on their page — even at the risk of introducing some bias. Sometimes I wonder why we (Page99Test co-founders) continue to try to police such things when letting go would probably result in higher satisfaction of our users and more traffic.
