I am trying to setup split test with GSO - it cannot see my original page and the conversion page though it can reach the variation page fine.
My page are like this:
Original page:
www.example.com/getaquote/index.htm
Variation page:
www.example.com/getaquote/index1.htm
Conversion page:
www.example.com/thanks/index.htm
I ignored the error and proceeded to implement the JS code for the test. It cannot validate that the code is placed fine because it cannot access the URL. I can successfully click at the URL it shows to load the page in question.
I am stumped. If Google cannot see my pages for some reason (it is an old established site), how can it see the variation page?
Any clues?
TIA.

Just to clarify, I have run split tests successfully on other sites.
This is an Apache based site running PHP pages that have .htm extensions.

I managed to solve this problem. We had setup the site to reject all incoming page requests with blank user-agent. Google Website Optimizer was requesting the web page with a blank user-agent string.
Humble advice to Google: Please use some user-agent.
