Hi Tim,CRO is high on the "to do" list for us in 2013 and I recently had to put together a proposal for a budget. Here are some of the sources I used to help put my proposal together:http://www.kaushik.net/avinash/excellent-analytics-tip-7-the-adorable-site-abandonment-rate-metric/http://baymard.com/lists/cart-abandonment-rate http://www.houseofkaizen.com/resources/calculators/bounce-rate-impacthttp://www.uie.com/brainsparks/2011/10/17/the-back-story-for-the-300-million-button/http://www.clickz.com/clickz/column/1691779/benchmarking-average-conversion-ratehttp://index.fireclick.com/fireindex.php?segment=6http://www.internetretailer.com/2011/09/13/conversion-boost-online-retailershttp://www.davechaffey.com/Internet-Marketing/C7-Service-Quality/Conversion-rates-E-commerce/http://www.thinkmetrics.com/benchmarks-for-websites.phphttp://www.marketingexperiments.com/blog/research-topics/ecommerce/e-commerce-landing-page-mistakes.html

It's a long list. If you've never read "The $300 million button" I'd recommend starting there just because it's very inspiring.Cheers,Dana

I would have to say that one of the best resources for conversion optimization would be Unbounce's Conversion Optimization Blog http://unbounce.com/conversion-rate-optimization/
They have tons of information here for conversions as well as usability and landing page optimization.
Hope this helps!

Good platform for SEO and CRO
From Seomoz thread it looks like many mozzers favor WordPress when it comes to choosing a platform that is optimal for SEO. While I agree I would like to ask your opinion on platforms for CRO.

Which platform do you think works best for SEO practices and CRO posibilites? It would be great if employees that don't have expert knowledge in PHP and HTML would be able to move contact forms around, places different banners next to the blog post depending on what content they post etc. In this case the meaning is that the website will be built by a professional and used by all different kind of employees with various web design / coding skills. Have a great day everyone!0 -
Conversion optimization with Optimizely, impact on SEO
I am looking into signing up with www.optimizely.com for conversion testing. They put scripting on my site which will then redirect half of my site visitors to an alternate home page. The site I want to test on is ranking quite well with Google and I do not want to hurt my rankings. And with this set up,what Google will think is my home page is not and so I am essentially sending visitors to a different page than Google reads as my home page in source code. So, my concern is whether this will have a negative impact on my SEO rankings to redirect 50% of site visitors to a different page using this testing tool? I would use Google Web Site Optimizer, but many of my sites are in Wordpress and it seems that Wordpress and web site optimizer are not so compatible. Advice would be appreciated. Thank you, Robert

How to you determine what a good CPA is on an ecommerce site?
Do you calculate shipping, warehouse cost, cost of goods into your CPA? Lets say my current CPA is $20 and average order is $100. Its 20% of each order cost goes to lets say ppc, seo, email or affiliate. Do I include cost of shipping lets say its $7.00 and cost of goods are $40.00 I end up with a profit of $33 and that doesn't include taxes, salary, warehouse cost ect. *this is all hypothetical, Im trying to see if my real CPA is inline or I should work on decreasing it. Any thoughts? Thanks

Landing Page Conversion Rates
I had a client claiming his industry (replacement home windows) conversion rate was around 15% based on his research. In my research i could find nothing of the sort, and really couldn't find a single place that provided this type of information. Anyone out there have some advice on where to research industry conversion rates (averages) or tools/thought processes to explore? Thanks! (these stats would primarily be used for goal setting and competitive analysis)
