Lot's of words, fancy images, tips and conclusions. But no actual data.
Citing research papers from 1979 to decide which photo converts better on a website? Dude, just show me the data of an a/b test.
- robobro 12y agoIt reads like NLP bullshit through and through. I flagged.
- xyby 12y agoMe too. This is what made me flag it: "I’m always flabbergasted how small—seemingly irrelevant—changes can make a big impact If that was true, the author would have told us about those big impacts he witnessed. I think it's all made out of thin air. If he just said "here is a couple of research papers that might be relevant to photos on websites" I would have no problem with the article. But they way it is presented, it's not HN worthy. This is a topic I am very interested in. I studied many a/b tests on the impact of photos and other elements on conversion rations. The impact is usually surprisingly small.
- Throwaway90283 12y agoSame here, I enjoy A/B testing often, along with analyzing numbers and data. When I opened this article and saw the A/B/C image at the top, I was excited to see the results. Then... nothing.
