Hello, CEO here. We had been working on a completely new version of Visual Website Optimizer (called VWO). Here's the launch post: https://vwo.com/blog/launching-new-vwo/ Happy to answer any questions on what's new and what's our vision of A/B testing.

What kinds of traffic is required to make A/B testing robust?

This is something I haven't found an answer to on your site. I have a site with about 2,000 monthly uniques. I want to start A/B testing once I have the numbers, but I don't want to start prematurely, get spurious results, and quit.

Hey Paras, congratulations on launch. Minor comment on your pricing table - the comma separator in the lakh position is uncommon everywhere but India. Made me double to a double take after I initially read it as a million users instead of 100,000.

Thanks. Will get that fixed.

The updated look is fantastic. Do you plan to have VWO expand beyond a frequentist-only approach to A/B testing, and offer MAB approach in the future?

Yes, definitely. We're keen to explore and include more testing and optimization models into VWO.

Which version of the site would Webcrawlers and indexing engines see? I'm just trying to work out whether this kind of tool has applicability when researching SEO tweaks on a site.

The control. JavaScript triggers the tests, and most testing suites explicitly don't serve tests to Googlebot or crawler IPs.

Cheers, that makes sense.
