Friday, October 9th, 2009 at 2:29pm. 247 Views, 1 Comments.

Matt Barker has just posted regarding his first set of reports (one week) of data. You can read about the finding at this post

Some high level stats: 

  • Forced registration produce double the "valid" leads of non forced registration
  • Unforced registration produced more page views per visitor
  • Unforced registration produced a lower bounce rate
  • Forced registration produced a phone in / unforced did not

For the full report on the first weeks numbers go to permalink - http://www.barkerhedges.com/blog/data-post-october-8-2009-forced-vs-unforced-registration-test.html

I would be interested in receiving your comments here once you read the post - I am sure Matt and Brandon would love a comment on their blog as well.

Game on!!!
