Actually, spif mentions the following in the post:
>To be honest we aren’t sure yet [of what impact this makes to the actual signups]. We wonder how these tests measure up to the goal funnels in Google Analytics and compared to actual conversions into paying customers
This went live before we launched our premium account so don't have those stats to track.
We measure 3 related goals in GA, the homepage -> signup form; homepage -> signed up user; and new visit -> paying user (using the goals but also e-commerce values).
Looking back and learning from this exercise, in the next tests that we're doing we'll be adding different UTM campaigns to the different variations (in VWO) and be able to track conversions to paying customers further down the track. I cannot stress enough how much valuable information this gives.

Ah, cool, I missed that. Thanks. It really is the crux though, any kind of partial measurement is essentially meaningless without the overall picture.

In any case we CAN see the increase in homepage -> signup form: http://cl.ly/503bf3943cc390e4f715
This did increase the actual signup conversion as well (homepage -> signed up user): http://cl.ly/e6403e90307c58c8a6e7
Fantastic info. Should have included in the case study ;)
Only just looked up those numbers as per Jacques question. ;-)
Thank you, that puts it much better in to perspective.
