Google Optimizer - server-side/client side dilemma


I'm hoping to test different versions of a form with Google Optimizer (Multivariate testing). The form is in an ASP include, but what the server-side code will load before Google's JS does. Any ideas about how to approach this? Thanks.


Solution

  • I think I understand your problem. The trouble is that Google's multivariate test is designed to allow you to test two or more snippets of HTML and the multivariate test itself is controlled via Javascript.

    So I'm afraid the only way this will work is if you can specify the HTML for Google Optimizer to use for the two versions of the form. This could be made to work with basic forms, but if the form itself is dynamically created in ASP due to some other application requirement then I don't think Google Optimizer will work so well for you.
