This? Or that? A/B testing, which compares two versions of a web page (A and B) to see which produces the best conversion rate among site visitors, can help publishers take the guesswork out of optimizing their sites. In fact, according to this week’s infographic, media companies that engage in A/B, multivariate, and other related testing see average pageview increases of 29% as well as 14% more reader engagement.

To help guide your A/B testing efforts, our pick lays out a list of the key elements to test, along with the steps involved in successful campaigns and pitfalls to avoid. For example, it cautions against testing too many elements at once, running tests for too long, and not measuring the entire conversion tunnel.
