Interesting. I am definitely more toward the 'shoot from the hip' category.
It's definitely valuable to have some rigor in the process but not so much
that it halts delivery.

Thanks.

I think this is one of the best ideas for testing as I find two camps one only tests and never gets anything up and the other shoots from hip

Awesome blog post! I love how you talk about how you evaluate your test and if they fail or succeed. Keep it up!

If you don't mind sharing, how much did you have to spend to find the right
name?

Would you be willing to share more about your testing?

Man, that was a solid post.

Ryan I have very considerable experience with Google Adsense, setting up campaigns, building keyword lists, creating landing pages and testing new niches. Let me know if I can give you a hand in any step of the process.

Remember if the results are bad it may mean your -that- landing page, with -those- keywords, does not convert into sales. Not that the business concept is flawed. That's why it's important to be as good as possible in each step of the process!

It is a painful/slow exercise but if done properly can save you serious money down the road.

I used it for my newest project in chosing the domain name, just as in the 4HHW they picked the title: the highest Click-Through rate wins.

Great stuff, let us know your results!

That was part of the reason I wrote the post…simplifying the process so
that I can execute on it.
Easier said than done :)

All fantastic ideas, all best practices, but man, it made my head spin just thinking about doing all that. Which is why you'll make money and I won't. :)
