The Experiment
He used a set of rules that each campaign must followed to help determine the winner:

2. Separate the 4 campaigns by adding Demographic targeting. Target by household income tier.
3. Run for six weeks.
4. Analyze results to determine which experiment exceeded the control in conversion volume and CPA.
Once the top performing campaign is determined he was able to then scale it and pause the other experiments.
The Results
The Top 10% earners are the runaway favorite when looking at conversion data. An impressive 156 converted clicks, and a conversion rate that’s more than double the experiment average of 4.23%! In fact, the converted click volume for the Top 10% is greater than all the other demographics combined.
