Haha, I like your title but I don't think it's accurate. Many, many sites with millions of visitors are not yet A/B testing. Vastly more than you would think.

- haltingproblem 6y agoOk, lets take it a step further ;) The sites with millions of hits not A/B testing might be helped by an A/B test but more likely will just chase ghosts and give it up. Or they could just hire a good UI/UX and conversion expert and get the insights for free. Take agriculture - you are running a large farm which is hundreds to thousands of acres. Do you run experiments with soil, seeds, fertilizer, crop rotation schemes to increase yield? No, that would be silly, take forever and make you poorer and perhaps no wiser. Instead, you hire a "expert" who has done it before and knows the "best practices".
- chanmad29 6y agoVery interesting analogy but not a good equivalence IMO. Soil and rotation are pretty standard in that the best permutations are already known, unless you want to experiment something new. Websites do not have such known standards- a crappy looking amazon website works better than most UI experts would suggest.
