about not reading the thread.
However, if he wants to do something like that, a random A/B split is
not a good way to go, either. Rather, he should have two sites and have
them linked together so people can switch back and forth between the
two. Solicit opinions from people as to which they like better, and
monitor sales from both sites.
It would provide much more information than trying to pull statistics
from and A/B split.

That sounds interesting Jerry. I will definitely propose that to my
client, sounds more beneficial to me.
By the way, by performance I meant the marketing aspect of it and not
the technical. Sorry if I was ambiguous in my vocabulary.
Ok, in that case you definitely want two separate sites. People will get very upset if they get a different site every time they visit. And randomly changing between two sites is even worse - it looks like your client can't make up his mind which he wants. Even worse will be the search engines.
My comments earlier were related to the same look/feel but different code underneath.
Additionally, I suspect your client is expecting miracles. The number of people why buy is a very small portion of those who visit.
