Howdy etler!

> Does it integrate with web master tools and google analytics?

Yep!

> Does it help identify page populations that are stable and similar enough to be compared?

Yep!

> How are the different test versions sent to you guys?

For the most part, we own the design of treatments. Some of our customers have their own experiments, but that's a small minority of our customers. Happy to talk more in depth about this if you're interested! dillon@rankscience.com

> Can we use our own CDN on top of your CDN?

Yes, we encourage this too!

> What about dynamic pages that change over time?

We address this on a case-by-case basis, but our software is designed to be as un-invasive as possible in use cases that we do not expect.

> How big of a sample size is needed to get statistically significant results?

We have to consider several variables here. Sample size is a function of Google's crawl rate on your site, the number of pages you have, and the amount of traffic you receive.

Thanks for the response! I know the sample size question is hard to answer because of the number of variables involved, but the reason I ask is that the CoderWall blog post example mentioned 20,000 pages, which is more than we have so I was curious about what a rough rule of thumb range might be.
