Hello John, Good stuff!!

Can I track conversions with gtt? I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this.

Yes, yet another quirk with IE. Can we get a petition to banish IE from the web?

Hi John

Just tried viewing videos in FF. No problem

So it seems to be an issue with IE. Strange, because I’ve watched many vids through the FlowPlayer interface.

The video played ok for me (ffox 3.0.11, xp, vaio). Btw you CANNOT split test adwords destination url’s unless the display url remains the same… which it wouldn’t in the case of your example re different competitors. So cut the video down to 1.5 mins and just focus on the main feature split testing non-ppc traffic to similar offers.

If anyone knows why the videos don’t play for some people, please let me know. They won’t be appearing in the main blog or in the dashboard once we’re finished. They’ll have their own section. Still working on things.

Hmm.. None of the videos are showing at my end!

And in the announcements part of the Dashboard, the videos are portrayed by something like this:

[flow href="http://www.gotrythis.com/videos/tutorials/SplitTesting.flv" width="537" height="387"]

Needs some attention, I think!

You can put the same links you would put in a browser, with or without the http://. Some sites will work with or without the www. If it works in a browser, it should work here too.

We’ll keep improving the interface, so thank you for your feedback.

Those short instructions will be coming in an update prior to launching.

When entering links on the “To URL:” line, does it make a difference if the URLs have or do not have “www.” or “http://” ?

Instead of a single-line text input, how about a text area box with links separated by new lines? Or multiple lines for each link? Good in the cases where the links are super long.

Probably good to have short instructions like: “Enter links separated by commas.”
