A/B Testing in Traffic Arbitrage

Systematic comparison of two ad variants (creative, pre-lander, angle, funnel) to identify the winner by key metrics: CTR, CR, EPC, ROI. Essential for scaling profitable campaigns and beating creative fatigue.

📌 Core Definition
A/B Testing pits version A against version B in live traffic. The variant with superior performance (higher conversions, better ROI) becomes your main driver. Run simultaneously with equal traffic split (50/50) for statistically valid results.

🎯 How A/B Testing Works in Arbitrage

Launch identical campaigns differing only in one variable: headline, image, CTA, pre-lander design, or angle. Track for 24-72 hours (minimum 1000 clicks per variant). Winner scales to 100% traffic, loser gets paused or reworked.

Key rule: Test one element at a time. Multiple changes create "noisy" data impossible to interpret accurately.

🚀 ArbiterAI Advantage

📊 Metrics to Track in A/B Tests

  • Primary: EPC, CR, ROI (your money metrics)
  • Secondary: CTR, Time-on-Lander, Bounce Rate
  • Validation: Statistical significance (95% confidence)

⚠️ Common A/B Testing Mistakes

  • Insufficient traffic volume (under 1000 clicks per variant)
  • Testing too many variables simultaneously
  • Ignoring statistical significance
  • Stopping tests too early (emotional decisions)
  • Not accounting for day-of-week or audience differences

❓ FAQ: A/B Testing for Arbitrage

How many variants should I test simultaneously?
Stick to 2-3 max. More variants = longer test time + diluted traffic. ArbiterAI's multivariate testing handles complexity automatically.
When is A/B test result statistically valid?
95% confidence level with minimum 1000 clicks per variant. Use online calculators or tracker built-in significance tests. Never trust "gut feeling".
What to A/B test first: creative or pre-lander?
Creative first (80/20 rule). CTR improvements compound downstream. Only optimize landers after proving creative viability.
