Second year in a row: 9 award winning A/B and Multivariate tests

WhichTestWon is a website that features results of A/B tests and visitors can vote which version of a page won. This gamification of A/B tests has resulted in a huge community built around the website and the active discussions after each test are a testament to that. At the end of the year, they conduct the Online Testing Awards, where they select A/B test entries deemed most useful for marketers and optimization specialists. Update : WhichTestWon is now Behave.org

Last year during the Online Testing Awards 2012, VWO was the A/B testing software used by 9 award winners across multiple categories. The smashing bit is that we’ve repeated the performance this year too! VWO is the testing tool used by 9 award winners in the Online Testing Awards 2013, more than any other tool that participated.

The thought process and reason for these awards is something that we completely agree with – to inspire marketing professionals by showcasing A/B tests that can be immediately applied on their own websites. What they were also looking to do was highlighting those that go against intuition and best practices.

Without further ado, here are the tests that used VWO.
