The easiest way to install Nelio A/B Testing into your WordPress site is by using the built-in plugin installer. Once the plugin has been successfully activated, you’ll see the Welcome Screen of Nelio A/B Testing summarising new functionalities. By just visiting the Dashboard, you can configure your Nelio Account or Start a Free Trial.

If you select the free trial, Nelio offers a limited number of Page Views to track during the unlimited free trial period. But you can easily extend that number by completing some actions, like confirming your e-mail, recommending us to a friend, or tweeting about us, among others. Moreover, one of the actions you can do is to explain your goals and what success means to you.

Out of more than 1,700 Nelio A/B Testing users, a little bit more of 400 have indicated what success means to them, and I’ve made the following classification of all the responses, as shown in the following chart.
