Dear Brian and Roberta,

An update on the contest… The multivariate testing began yesterday (08/06). A bit later than SEOmoz expected but who’s counting. As you hoped, at least one of your loyal readers did enter a design (me).

I hope your critique drives lots of extra traffic there because I really want to see the best converter win!

Regards,
Kelly Erickson

Some of the things you might test are just impossible in this scenario such as:-

1. Fill out a questionnaire to qualify for a 7 day trial for $1
2. Custom video squeeze page offering a bonus which would also require an autoresponder series
3. Just a normal sales page with some great testimonials

I know everyone is in the same boat…

OK, I’m in. I came in second by ONE POINT in the Copyblogger contest. Maybe this time I’ll, well, not come in second by 1 point…

Ouch! Talk about put up or shut up. That is a great idea to force us all to learn from doing. Oh, and the cash incentive doesn’t hurt either.

It is going to be a very interesting contest and I look forward to watching the outcomes.
