Hiya!
Thanks for the link!
From it, found my way over to the 300% article.
Highly skeptical.
See:
“Increase AdWords Conversions 300%!” Errr, really?
Enjoyed your post.
Cheers!

Hi Alan:
Thanks for stopping by. We read your blog on a regular basis. Yes, I was skeptical on the 300% figure, but I thought the post was interesting in the sense of how a small ad text change MAY affect your conversion. However, I just read your retort and I agree that the test was a rather small sample size.
Ciao.
