Can you explain a bit more about the technical details of what the platform can do? Does it integrate with web master tools and google analytics? Does it help identify page populations that are stable and similar enough to be compared? How are the different test versions sent to you guys? Can we use our own CDN on top of your CDN? What about dynamic pages that change over time? How big of a sample size is needed to get statistically significant results?

Yep! > How are the different test versions sent to you guys? For the most part, we own the design of treatments. Some of our customers have their own experiments, but that's a small minority of our customers.

Yes, we encourage this too! > What about dynamic pages that change over time? We address this on a case-by-case basis, but our software is designed to be as un-invasive as possible in use cases that we do not expect. > How big of a sample size is needed to get statistically significant results? We have to consider several variables here. Sample size is a function of Google's crawl rate on your site, the number of pages you have, and the amount of traffic you receive.

  Thanks for the response! I know the sample size question is hard to answer because of the number of variables involved, but the reason I ask is that the CoderWall blog post example mentioned 20,000 pages, which is more than we have so I was curious about what a rough rule of thumb range might be.
