    Peep has a gift for being very direct, and in this book gets right to the point. Instead of writing a book 5x as long and charging 10x as much, Peep gives instantly actionable advice in a quick read. No wading through fluff trying to get to the information you're looking for. I finished this on a 2 hour flight.

    I'm not an expert, but am familiar with conversion optimization concepts. I do marketing for low volume websites where it is virtually impossible to make decisions based on statistically significant data. The fact that Peep links to many useful outside resources and blog posts - including an algorithmic tool for low volume websites - was much appreciated.

    I wish more authors would concentrate their offerings into a shorter, more actionable package like Peep presents here. The book is a great value.

    If you’re looking to get in to conversion optimization this is a great initial read. When you’re done you’ll have a list of the next resources you should be reading along with a specific process to start your conversion optimization work with.

    This is a no-nonsense guide that tosses aside your ‘hunches’ in favour of testing and proving things right. When your tests turn out ‘bad’ as many will just revisit the hypothesis and run another test.

    Highly recommended for anyone interested in working on conversions for their site.

    Peep continues to be the number one source of accessible but actionable information in the world of Conversion Rate Optimization [ Sweet Jesus, can someone please invent a better term for this..? ;-) ].

    I'd recommend this book for those aspiring to take on the more technical aspects of CRO, perhaps subsequently picking up a copy of Tim Ash's 'textbook' for a deep-dive on the technical aspects.

    A little to "techie" for me. I loved his first book. The first book he gave direction on what to do for good website conversion and now in this one he basically says scratch anything you've ever read on website conversion. The only way for perfect website conversion is by testing. TEST EVERYTHING.
    I'm still fan of peep!

    This work is great. I like his style - he is not shy of expressions. The book is going to provide you with actionable insights. Even if you apply only half it could mean that you triple your income.

    This is actually a free email course repurposed as a book. And that shows both in the language and structure. That said the book contains lots of good and actionable information, eve if it's a bit shallow. You'll likely finish this in an hour or two. With the above in mind, I thinks this is a good overview of the conversion optimization process and I personally learned a lot.

    This book is right on about how to run tests on a website. His blog is great as well! I hope to implement a process like this soon.

    Excellent value.. short overview, but no wasted words. Definitely worth the money. Only criticism is the writer should proofread the text to remove a number of typos/errors. Otherwise well written!
