When it comes to testing your leads, what parameters do you test for? It'll vary, but you're sure to come up with plenty. Need some ideas? Take a look at this handy list courtesy of Dan Siroker, CEO and cofounder of Optimizely, and Pete Koomen, president and cofounder of Optimizely:

Change the location of your CTA.
Test different colors, shapes, and sizes for your CTA buttons.
Content
Try gated content versus ungated content. What is getting the most traffic and shares?
Test different content types. Do your leads prefer visual assets like slide decks, or are they sticking to your ebooks?
Test different ways of displaying your content on your website. Try a website resource center where all of your content lives, and test content displayed on product or service pages.
