My first thought upon seeing this was, "Where are the statistics so that you know if you are just ahead by chance?"

My second thought was, "Testing is so much better than not testing, this is still worthwhile."

Seriously, if you aren't testing, do it. If you are, this is something to graduate out of.



I made a bookmarklet for easily calculating statistical significance, specifically for this use case.

After enabling the bookmarklet, you click the numbers you need and then it sends it to an A/B testing calculator hosted by the folks who made ABBA

OP here: That was the spirit of the thing. It isn't a fully fledged solution, but it's a very easy way to start testing, and in GA you can combine this data with all the other data you have there, if you want.
