Put your hand up if you’d like to know what really works in online marketing? Put your other hand up if you’d like to learn it for free!

If you’ve now got both hands in the air, read on …

At MarketingExperiments.com you can access (and download!) free in-depth research reports on many of the Internet marketing strategies you’ve probably heard about, plus some you may not have. The site tells you what works and what doesn’t, drawing its conclusions from data collected in real-life experiments.

“Our experiments range from three to eighteen months, and they involve budgets ranging from $4500 to $100,000+. We are often surprised, and sometimes embarrassed to discover just how much we DON’T know about marketing.”

Read that last sentence again.

It’s all too easy to be victims of our own assumptions, or unproven assertions and internet marketing myths that have gained currency as truths.

The only way to know for sure which marketing methods work, and how they work best, is to test, test, test … and that’s what MarketingExperiments.com is all about.

Each report or Research Brief starts with a synopsis followed by the findings of the tests, complete with all the relevant facts and figures, plus helpful “What You Need To UNDERSTAND” and “Key Point” highlights. At the end of each brief you’ll also find an excellent list of related online resources rated for “usefulness and clarity.”

Research is ongoing (you can even suggest topics), but there’s already a wealth of information available. Here’s a selection of some of the research briefs you can read right now:
