A/B Testing for galleries (or whatever?)

I assume you mean submit the galleries to a TGP.

I know that the Hun and worldsex ask submitters not to change their gallery after it's been submitted. Are other TGPs more tolerant? Also it seems to take somewhere between 50-300 views to get a click depending on circumstances. Submitting to a TGP doesn't seem practical for such testing.

Thanks,

Yeah, where else would you submit a TGP gallery?

Why change a submitted gallery? Make your gallery changes and submit it for the next time. Make changes each time if you wish. Measure the results.

Isn't the point of this testing to submit good converting galleries to TGPs? How could they not be practical?

A good listing on Hun or Worldsex alone should send up to 50k hits in the first 30 days. Submit galleries to multiple TGPs every day and there should be plenty of TGP traffic.

I'd also say 50-300 views is on the very low end. Look for a 2-5% CTR for TGP galleries.

We seem to have different ideas about testing but I'm not sure. I want to take a gallery for a sponsor and tinker with layout and copy text and link placement / behavior for the same set of promotional pics to try to optimize click throughs for the same set of promotional pics and thumbs. If you change both layout and template as well as promotional material and sponsor, how do you know what changes are responsible for the change in performance. Is your performance better/worse because of the material or the template technology?

I am assuming you can't resubmit the same promotional material multiple times to a TGP with different layouts. Correct?

If you look at the two gallery links in my original posting you should be able to see what I am talking about. Can you submit the galleries for both links to the same TGP? I would think not.
