Would be something Website Optimizer might be able to handle in future, as long as they have the traffic numbers to run such an experiment. The only problem at present is the slowness in gathering data in Optimizer, whereas they are receiving their data in real time in this case.

This site definitely gets the traffic, and this experiment is a simple click-thru, so a goal as simple as this is perfect.
