Google Website Optimizer Bug

Apparently there is a bug in Website Optimizer for experiments that were developed prior to November 9th. If you are using Google Website Optimizer you may want to check out your code to make sure you are not using the code that makes your pages vulnerable. I just logged into my AdWords Client Center and found a notice that there is a bug in Website Optimizer. Here is the notice I received. You can learn more about the bug here and how to fix it here.

Website Optimizer Bug Requiring Immediate Attention

On November 7 (PST), we became aware of a bug in Website Optimizer that makes your experiment pages vulnerable to tampering. We have now identified the problem and created a fix (information below). However, to correct this problem you must manually modify the control scripts on all of your experiment pages. You should implement this fix as soon as possible on all past and present experiment pages. Note that this bug only affects experiments created before November 9 (PST)

    Thanks for the tip. I also wanted to say you have a very nice theme here.

    You are welcome. I noticed the message this morning and figured others who are using it would like to know too.
    Unfortunately I can’t take credit for the theme, it was designed by Small Potato at WPDesigner. He does great work though.
