### 󠀁[works, a couple of notes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-a-couple-of-notes/)󠁿

Very good plugin. Simple and does what it should. I agree with DrInnovation’s review.
A few notes for people that want to use it, there’s was a typo in the example (the/
was missing in the last line) it should be: Sample content experiment: [experiment
id="EXPERIMENT ID"] [ex_variant] content for first variation [/ex_variant] [ex_variant]
content for second variation [/ex_variant] [/experiment] The plugin assumes there
is no original, it will just switch between the variations, remember this when you
create the experiment in Google Analytics (i.e. if you want to split-test between
two variations, you have an original listed (a bogus listing) and two variations—
the url’s you list don’t matter – but you also read that in the description “Content
Experiments Without Redirects (Browser-only implementation)”).

### 󠀁[Works great.. instructions a bit overly comples](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-instructions-a-bit-overly-comples/)󠁿

Works fine and is simple to use and makes small changes testing easier. Almost drop
to 4 stars as the instructions imply it is more complex and I wasted time trying
to do all the steps listed. The whole discussion of the google tag manager is “optional”..
it may provide more information but it is overkill for just doing basic A/B type
experiments in a page. All you need is to install plugin, insert short code fill
in experiment ID and run experiment. Another important thing, mentioned on the cited
google document pages, is that you ignore the warnings about URLs when getting the
experiment ID. Don’t add any google experiment code on the page, just make sure 
it has analytics. I’m still using Google Content Experiments plugin as well, which
is easier for full page testing (when the pages are not simple variations of each
other, e.g. major different layouts, widgets, breaking a page into 2-3 pages, etc..)
