One of the main reasons why many new affiliates fail is because they don’t split test everything, the purpose of a campaign is to make money right? Why not make as much profit as you can from your campaigns.

If you don’t split test your landing page you are potentially throwing away money, you never know what will convert better until you try it, whether it be a review style landing page, a landing site or just a normal landing page. You will be kicking yourself, especially because it’s so easy to split test 2 landing pages.

After reading this there is no excuse to do this for every campaign you make.

Right, so you have 2 landing pages you want to test, in your root directory you create a index.php file as you would normally but this time just insert this code and upload it to the server:

<?php
if(rand(0,1) == 0) {
header(”Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/landing-page-folder-1″);
} else {
header(”Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/landing-page-folder-2″);
}
?>

Ignoring the 'landing-page-folder-X' for a moment you then create two folders within your root directory, one for each landing page. Name these appropriately so that you can differentiate the two.

Once you have a landing page in each folder simply upload them to the server and go back to the index.php and edit the location fields with the URL to the folders of the landing pages.

That’s all there is to it.

To be able to monitor which ones converting better you just have to have a relevant sub ID on the affiliate links so that when you get the conversion/sale you can identity which landing page it came from.

Don’t just test 2 landing pages and stick with the higher CTR - why not throw another one in after to see if that performs better. Simply rinse and repeat this method to get best CTR possible!
