Playbook: A/B test a forex deposit lander without fooling yourself

What it is: A disciplined method for split-testing landers on the metric that pays — FTD, not registrations.

Best for: Affiliates optimizing landers whose 'winners' on signup rate keep losing money downstream.

The method:
— Pick one variable per test: headline, risk-disclaimer placement, form length, or CTA. Multivariate without volume is guessing.
— Split traffic via the tracker's built-in rotator (Voluum/Keitaro), not by alternating days — day-of-week skews forex traffic.
— Set the success metric to downstream FTD, fed back via postback. A lander that lifts registrations 20% but drops FTD quality is a loser.
— Pre-commit a sample size. For FTD as the metric you need real volume; eyeballing 30 conversions is noise.
— Run both variants in the same window; freeze creatives and bids while testing.

Pros:
— Optimizing on FTD, not signups, aligns with what gets paid
— Single-variable discipline gives you a readable result

Cons:
— FTD is a sparse metric, so tests run long before significance
— Requires a working postback loop; without it you're stuck on signups

Who should skip this: Low-volume affiliates who'll never hit significance on FTD — optimize copy by judgment instead.

Verdict: Test on FTD, not signups.
