Conversion Curriculum
Many people still don't realize that getting users to click to your site is only half the battle. Getting them to purchase, to register, to fill out your form... these are the true goals, and are often overlooked.
Bryan Eisenberg and Avinash Kaushik provide a comprehensive overview of landing page optimization, and take you through some real-world examples of what works, what doesn't, and what steps you can take to "always be testing." In this course, we'll be using both video training modules as well as Bryan Eisenberg's book "Always Be Testing" to create a multi-pronged approach to the material.
INTRODUCTION TO CONVERSION OPTIMIZATION
In this introductory overview, you'll get a good feel for what it means to embrace an "always be testing" culture, including a series of short training videos from Google on Website Optimizer that will enable you to easily add a variety of critical tests on your site.
CONVERSION PLANNING
In this section, you'll learn how to identify and qualify your website traffic so you can better understand which leads are most likely to result in conversions. Then, you'll dive into one of the more critical aspects of optimization: customer personas. You'll discover the strategies and goals of each persona, and more importantly, how to build your site so it gives each persona what they need to feel comfortable doing business with you.
You will learn:

In this module, you'll take a close look at all the things that keep your customers happy and wanting to do business with you.

For years, analysis revolved around tracking total and unique visitors, but luckily things have become a great deal more sophisticated -- and complicated. In this module, Web Analytics faculty chair Avinash Kaushik joins the conversation with a comprehensive introduction to KPIs, providing a solid foundation for your more advanced analytics strategies.
