(I originally posted this as a reply but I figure it merits its own thread...)
It would be interesting to see a site where 100 designers are given the same materials to make tours from, same text, etc. They create their tours and join pages but all then go to same processor for same account. The tours all get rotated through the SAME traffic pool. Then the site lists the conversion results.
So the final breakdown would be
Design firm name, clickable link to their site, clickable thumb of their tour, their CTR score, their CTR to Signup score, and their pricing for such tour (range pricing)
Just a thought. (Since webmasterlabor.com doesn't do adult content-related projects anymore, we won't be implementing this... if that question crossed your mind
)
Or maybe design is one of those things that YOU REALLY CAN'T COMPARE since it is more of an art... ?(although the item above compares not the "art" but the OBJECTIVE NUMBERS of the effect of such "art")
Possible domain names (I didn't check whois so they may be taken):
designercomparisons.com
designconversionratings.com
designreports.com
Anyway, post your thoughts.
