About Me

My name is Rich Page. And I am a self-confessed website optimizer junkie.

I live, sleep and breathe the world of websites and how to test, improve and optimize them. I have been testing and improving website for over 10 years, have a strong passion for web analytics and have many years of experience in it – this helps me to optimize and improve websites further. I also have a website usability background that helps me to understand and optimize websites better, and wrote a thesis on common website usability errors.

I just finished writing the ‘Website Optimization: An Hour a Day‘ book and co-authoring the 2nd Edition of Tim Ash’s very popular ‘Landing Page Optimization’ book, both due out in Spring 2012.

You can also follow me on Twitter at @richpage and also find me on linkedin.com.

On this website you will find many website optimization & analytics insights, posts and services:

- website optimization tips (including my new free website improvement ebook)
- website optimization services (brand new services to help improve your website)
- web analytics tips (including my ‘Win at Web Analytics’ series)
- interviews with web analysts (my ‘Web Analytics Guru Interviews’ series)
- plus lots more web analytics and online marketing posts.

I am also certified in Landing Page Optimization. Here’s my certificate to prove my passion:

Marketing Experiments Professional Certification Program

I also love the online marketing basics (or not so basics) like SEO, PPC, email marketing and blogging. Basically anything related to internet marketing. This knowledge really gives me a unique angle compared to most website optimizers.
