But the very nature of optimization includes an element of intuition. How can it be honed to its maximum reliability? Should we ever trust it? You’re invited to use your intuition at our next Web clinic to assess examples of Web page optimization. Test yourself against the test results. You may be surprised, or not!

Which changes will produce the best Conversion results when optimizing a Call-to-Action? Can distinct approaches be combined to increase both sales and leads?
