Why Would I Want to Use This Plugin?
So you can test the effectiveness of your images and your copy. How do you really know you are getting people to do what you want them to do on your site? The Google Website Optimizer lets you do just that – and the plugin lets you do just that in WordPress blogs.
Will it Work on My WordPress blog?
The current version (v0.2) works with WordPress 2.x* and above
*Important Note: If you are running WordPress versions 2.0.x, you must patch /wp-includes/functions-formatting.php to fix this WordPress bug. If you do not apply the patch, any parenthesis characters will be converted to the html equivalent (#8221;) and will cause the Google Website Optimizer section scripts to fail. This bug has been fixed in WordPress 2.1.x

I like using Gobala’s products such as Super Affiliate Blogger. The products pays by himself in just a few days.
And if you assume you’ll be struggling to install anything just watch the tutorials.
Nothing can’t be easier.
Thanks Gobala!
