Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Impractical Collection of Laundry Lists for Corporate Users Comment: So, let's say you have a website and want to improve the landing page. Perhaps you're not sure about the best style of landing page for your type of product and would like a discussion about what kinds of pages work best with products like yours. You won't find ANY answers here. In fact, you won't even find a hint. If you can't do the math to figure out what optimization is worth, then maybe you should read this book. But even then I have to believe that this material is covered on the web for free. It includes the typical fodder about team buy-in. Hey, guess what? If you have a team you need it. Next topic please. There is even a gratuitous section on Meyers Briggs personality types. How that ties in to landing page optimization was not revealed. Save your money. I normally don't review books negatively, but this one has so many positive reviews that I thought somebody should warn the unsuspecting. If you spend a couple of days reading this book you will not be much farther than you are right now. It just goes to show that there are a lot of people in this business who really don't have a clue. I gave this book 2 stars because I believe that it would be useful to a corporate user who knows absolutely nothing about the web or web marketing. For me it was excruciating. I want my money back. Customer Rating: Summary: A Must-Have for anyone serious about landing page optimization Comment: I have been working as a consultant for the past 3-4 years for clients who want to optimize their landing and/or buy pages. I get paid on a percentage basis on how much I increase their conversions by so I'm very selective of testing theories found in optimization books... With that said - I can full heartedly recommend this book. My book is worned out from reading it multiple times and earmarked on multiple pages on specific items that I tested myself with great results. If you are a beginner in optimization the chapters dedicated to the math is a must read as I have found many people in my field don't fully understand the math involved to declare specific variables a winner and therefore make incorrect decisions that could be costing them many percentage points in the long run. And even with all the great tools like google optimizer that automatically calculate it for you - it helps to understand what goes on "under the hood". Also the author, Tim Ash is very personable and amazingly reachable! I had questions on some of his calculations on his standard deviation shortcuts and he responded back to me within a day! I think the best indicator on how helpful this book is to me is that I always have it within an arms reach when coming out with a new multivariable testing scheme for every one of my clients. Customer Rating: Summary: A good book on this topic Comment: This in fact is a great book on this topic.well written and very easy to read. Customer Rating: Summary: A Helpful Guide Comment: The book is pretty insightful for the price.A good book and has some good information. Customer Rating: Summary: An instant online marketing classic Comment: Tim truly "gets it" when it comes to landing page optimization. This book is "right on the money". More Reviews
