ЕЮ Иванов продолжает кошмарить АффПапу, конторку, которая накинула говна на вентилятор этим летом. Тогда в AffPapa не знали, с каким говном идут бодаться, поэтому заслуженно проиграли. 😏

На этот раз ЕЮ зарегал товарный знак AffPapa — совсем скоро имя компании будет официально принадлежать ему. Чтобы убедиться в трушности мува, переходим по ссыл-Очке и вводим серийный номер: 2026793242. Там видим, что заявка на регистрацию подана лично Евгением Юрьичем.

Всё это выглядит забавно, но давайте не забывать, в какой сфере мы работаем и что реально может произойти с жирным троллем за воровство нейминга. Впрочем, толстому не привыкать отхватывать пиздов за проделки в интернете, поэтому ждем очередную фотку разбитого ебала и длинный пост с извинениями. 😏😏😏

В арбитраже денег нет 💵

Edge testing vs origin testing: the speed play
My A/B snippet was adding 200ms. On a landing page, 200ms is a tax every variant pays.
Option A, origin/server-side test: clean, but the page render waits on your app deciding the variant.
Option B, edge testing (Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge): the variant decision happens at the CDN edge, milliseconds from the user. No origin round-trip, no flicker, near-zero added latency.
I moved bucketing logic to a Worker. Page stayed fast, variant assignment was instant, and the test was finally a fair fight.
Tradeoff: edge needs you comfortable writing a little Worker code. Not a marketer's solo job.
If your tests keep losing to latency, the fix isn't a better variant. It's moving the test to the edge. Go time your assignment logic. Report back.

On-site surveys vs just A/B testing it
Had 5 headline ideas, didn't know which 2 to test. Testing all 5 = months of traffic.
Instead I ran a one-question on-site survey (Hotjar/Typeform popup): 'What almost stopped you from buying?' 200 replies in 3 days. The answers wrote my best 2 headlines for me.
The tradeoff: surveys tell you what people SAY, not what they DO. Stated preference lies. So surveys don't replace the test, they narrow it.
My flow now: survey to generate + prioritize hypotheses, A/B test to validate. Qualitative narrows, quantitative decides.
Stop brainstorming variants in a meeting. Go ask your actual users one question this week, then test the top answer. Report back.

Convert vs VWO: the privacy/cookie angle nobody tests for
EU traffic. Cookie banner. Half my visitors decline tracking. My test sample got quietly mangled.
Dug into vendors:
— VWO: powerful, but heavier cookie footprint, more to disclose in your consent flow.
— Convert: built leaner on privacy, has a cookie-less / consent-aware mode that still buckets users for the test without the full tracking cookie load.
The tradeoff: a privacy-light tool keeps more of your EU sample in the test (less consent-decline leakage) but you trade some deep-analytics richness.
For GDPR-heavy traffic, the 'best' tool is the one that doesn't lose 40% of your sample to a declined banner.
Go check what % of your traffic declines tracking. If it's high, your tool choice just changed. Report back.

Holdout group vs pre/post comparison
Launched a sitewide change I couldn't cleanly A/B (a new nav). Two ways to measure.
Pre/post: compare conversion before launch vs after. Easy, but garbage when seasonality, a sale, or a traffic-source shift muddies it. I've fooled myself this way twice.
Holdout: keep 5-10% of users on the OLD experience permanently for a few weeks. Compare against the 90% who got the new thing. Same time window, same season, same traffic. Clean read.
The tradeoff: a holdout 'wastes' a little traffic on the old version. That's the price of a real causal answer.
For anything you can't slot into a normal test, a holdout beats pre/post every single time.
Got a big launch coming? Don't go all-in. Hold back 5%. Report back.

Multi-armed bandit vs classic 50/50 split
Flash sale, 6 days, testing 3 banner variants. A classic A/B/C split wastes traffic on losers the whole time.
Multi-armed bandit: the algorithm shifts traffic toward the winning variant AS it learns. More conversions DURING the test. Perfect for short, high-stakes windows.
But here's where I got burned: I used a bandit for a long-term landing page test and it adapted so fast it never gave me a clean, reportable lift number. Bandits optimize earnings, not learning.
My rule:
— Short campaign, want max conversions now → bandit.
— You need a defensible 'B beat A by X%' for the team/roadmap → classic 50/50 split.
Don't reach for the fancy bandit by default. Pick by your goal: earn or learn. Report back.

Google выпустил Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash

Google обновил Gemini Omni для генерации видео: модель умеет продолжать сцены с учётом до 10 секунд контекста и собирать ролик до 40 секунд, работать по референсу и делать переходы между кадрами. Главный вывод — инструмент стал практичнее для продакшена, а посекундная цена делает его заметно доступнее для тестов и рабочих задач.

Топ 5 PWA-сервисов для залива дейтинга

Статья показывает, что PWA выгодны не только для гемблы: в дейтинге они дают пуш-базу, больше траста и помогают маскировать оффер под бренд. Главный выбор зависит от цены инсталлов и теста GEO: для старта лучше бесплатные или дешёвые решения, а Progressier выделяется как самый практичный вариант для залива дейтинга.

AI-generated variants vs hand-written: which feeds the test
Needed 8 headline variants fast. Asked an LLM for 20, hand-wrote 4. Tested AI's best 4 vs my 4.
What happened: AI variants were grammatically clean but generic, all landed within 1% of each other. Forgettable. My 4 were rougher but one had a weird specific angle that beat everything by 9%.
The tradeoff: AI is unbeatable for QUANTITY and breaking writer's block. But it regresses to the safe, average phrasing, which is exactly what doesn't win tests. Winners are usually specific and a little odd.
My flow now: AI for the first 20 to find directions, then I hand-sharpen the 3 I'll actually test. Volume from the bot, edge from me.
Don't test the bot's polished average. Test the weird specific line. Go write one variant too sharp for an AI to suggest. Report back.

My 6-point QA before any test goes live

Shipped a broken variant once. Burned 4 days of traffic on a CTA that 404'd on mobile. Never again. Now I run this before I hit start:

— Load variant B in incognito. Hard refresh. Does it actually look different?
— Resize browser to 375px. The mobile users are 60% of my traffic and they break first.
— Click the CTA. Confirm it fires the conversion event in real-time analytics.
— Check both variants share the SAME goal definition. Mismatched goals = garbage data.
— Throttle network to Slow 3G in devtools. Flicker = original flash = ruined test.
— Screenshot both. Side by side. Eyeball it.

Takes 8 minutes. Saves a week.

Go run this checklist on the test you're about to launch. Don't skip step 5.

Launching your first A/B test today? Do it in this order

Day 1 of someone's testing program and they always start with the button color. Wrong move. Here's the order that actually works:

— Pull last 30 days of analytics. Find your highest-traffic page that isn't already converting great.
— Write ONE sentence: 'I think changing X will lift Y because Z.' No hypothesis, no test.
— Pick a metric you can hit 200+ conversions on in 2-3 weeks. Tighter than that, skip it.
— Build variant B. Change ONE thing. Headline OR layout OR CTA. Not all three.
— Set min runtime: 14 days. Covers two full weekly cycles.
— Launch Tuesday morning. Weekend launches skew early data.

That's the whole thing. Stop reading, go pull your analytics. Pick the page now.

Google отменил ручную пессимизацию в Еврозоне

Google перестал пессимизировать крупные новостники за паразитные страницы с казино и другими партнёрскими офферами в ЕЭЗ. Для арбитража вывод простой: в Европе схема с «пирогами» больше не даёт преимущества от траста основного домена, а Google впервые применяет разные правила по GEO под давлением регулятора.

Before you call a winner, run these 5 gates

Day 9 of a test, B is up 18%, and the urge to ship it is brutal. I've shipped fake winners. The lift evaporated in a week. Now nothing gets called until it clears all five:

— Ran 14+ full days. Two weekend cycles minimum.
— Hit your pre-set sample size. Not 'looks like enough.' The number you wrote down before launch.
— Significance at 95% AND it held there for 3 straight days, not one spike.
— Segment it: does B win on mobile too, or just desktop carrying the average?
— Check the funnel below. A higher click can mean worse leads downstream.

All five green? Ship it. One red? Keep running.

Go check your live test against these. Be honest about gate 2.
