I keep a group that NEVER sees my winners. On purpose. Got tired of shipping "wins" that didn't show up in the monthly revenue chart. Lifts on paper, flatline in the bank. So now 5% of traffic is a permanent holdout. The…

Statistically significant. Practically worthless. Huge test, 200k visitors. Variant won, p < 0.001. Rock solid significant. The lift? 0.4%. With enough traffic ANY difference becomes significant. Significance just mea…

My biggest "winner" was just luck regressing. Day 3, variant up 40%. Insane number. I knew it was too good but I wanted it. Day 10: +6%. Day 18: +2% and not significant. That day-3 monster was regression to the mean. Sma…

Killed my timed popup. Replaced the trigger, not the offer. Same popup, same 10% code, same design. I only A/B'd when it fired. Control: appears at 8 seconds. Variant: appears on exit-intent (mouse heading to close). Exi…

My win rate is 1 in 6. I'm thrilled about it. Folks brag about their test win rate. Mine's like 16%. Five out of six things I try do nothing. And I'm winning more than the "experts" with 80% win rates. Because they only …

I shipped a winner. The split was lying to me. Day 4 of a checkout test. Variant B up 18%. I almost popped the champagne. Then I checked the traffic split. Supposed to be 50/50. Was 54/46. That's a sample ratio mismatch.…
