A/B test is one of the perfect testing methods to see what your potential customers are responding at. In the Performance page, you can identify the best option among two or more different options. For example, with A/B test you can identify which image and ad text are most effective, and which media category or device shows the highest performance.
Select one parameter for your test. You must select only one parameter for one test.
Create one or two campaigns and make all the settings identical except for the parameter you wish to test. For example, if you wish to test the difference in performance between ‘news articles’ and ‘community sites,’ create two campaigns that have all the settings such as CPC, creatives, time, location, etc. identical but for media.
In the Verify Installation page, you can check the installation status and data for debugging (if needed).
Script TypeIn the Script Type cell, you can see what kind of scripts are installed in your website. Script name will be shown if the script works normally.
StatusIn the Status cell, you can see whether the script is active or not. ‘Active’ will be shown for scripts that are properly installed and collecting logs. Last log collection time is also shown, which is one hour from now. If a script is showing ‘Warning’ in the status cell it means the script has not been collecting any data for the last 24 hours. If this is the case, you need to check whether the script has been installed properly.
Compared to the Previous DayIn this cell, you can see a trend by comparing a script’s action data collected on the previous day during the same time period (24 hours). For example, if you check this data on June 22 10 AM, the cell will show data comparing ‘June 20 10 AM to June 21 10 AM’ with ‘June 21 10 AM to June 22 10 AM.’ Check how your script has been working in the recent past.
DetailsIf your script is Active, you can say that it is working normally. In this cell, you can see the URL of where your script is located at. For example, if you installed ‘viewcontent’ script on your ad’s landing page, the script will be activated when users reach the landing page. Then the Details cell will show that URL with further data including time and device type. You can use this information to check if your script has been installed in the correct location.

PageView Script & Event Script Dable recommends at least two scripts to be installed for tracking purposes.

Event ScriptAn event refers to an action performed by users within your website. You will be tracking this event. Events can be signing up, making a purchase, searching for an item or adding an item to shopping cart. Select a conversion type you wish to measure in your ad campaign. Dable provides several custom conversion trackings to meet most of your measuring needs. For example, if your ad campaign is focused on collecting user DB, you need to track a user action of entering and sending personal information on the landing page. In this case you can use ‘Signup or DB input success page’ script. Generally you install this script in the ‘input success page’ where a user is led to after entering his/her information, but you can also track this action by tracking a button click in case you do not have a destination URL.
