Case Study: Displaying Highlighted Search Terms With Limited Content

As the content of a WordPress site grows (using this site as my case study) search results will also grow.

A/B Testing In Under 90 Minutes

Maybe we want more users to buy our products. Whatever the case, we want to role out our idea which we "know" will achieve our goal. But wait....! What about social variables?

Unique challenges: To index on foreign search engines, the content must be translated. The site receives millions of visitors a month. The site has numerous vital features and … [Read more...]
