What is link A/B testing?

A/B testing means sending part of your traffic to URL A and the rest to URL B. You then compare which converts better.

Use cases

  • 2 versions of a landing page — which converts the most?
  • Affiliate link vs direct link — which generates more revenue?
  • Product page A vs B — which sells better?
  • Title testing — "Buy" vs "Discover"

How it works on LinkFan

  1. Add multiple URLs to a single link
  2. Set a weight for each URL (e.g., 60% / 40%)
  3. LinkFan distributes traffic automatically

Sticky sessions

A returning visitor always sees the same variant thanks to consistent hashing. No flash of different content on each visit.

Anti-bot

Bots and crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot...) are detected and excluded from the split to avoid skewing results.

Analyzing results

On the LinkFan dashboard, you see in real time:

  • Total assignments per variant
  • Actual vs expected percentage
  • 95% confidence interval

Conclusion

Link A/B testing is a powerful tool to optimize your conversions. With LinkFan Pro, it's built-in, precise, and easy to configure.

Try A/B split.
