I have been running a test of two pop-ups on this website for the past few weeks.  I decided to start testing without any “fancy” design. Basically using only the tools provided by the email marketing acquisition system I am using for Michael Leander’s Marketing Tips.

Yes, I know, I know. Popups dont work.

WRONG.

They do work when used correctly. Some people (or rather; a lot) find them annoying . And of course I have no way of knowing if visitors presented with a pop-up will outright leave the site without further browsing. Well, that’s not exactly true; I do know since I monitor the bounce rate of this site and it has not changed since I introduced the popup.

All you have to do to qualify is to answer two questions;

A) Which of the two popups below performed best (A or B) ?
B) Which percentage of visitors signed up based on the best performing popup (f.ex. 3%, 9%, 15%)?

Here are the two popups I tested. The differences between the two are very small. Each so far has been presented approximately 2.000 times. They appear in the exact same way using a so-called “pop-over/hover” technique.

A: Get a new marketing tip every 3rd. day

B: Get a new marketing tip every 3 days

Please enter your answer in the comment box below now. I will personally get in touch with the winner around the 20th. of February 2009. Good luck.
