How long (time period) do you run your A/B tests?

ig1 on April 4, 2011 [–]

I don't normally have a set period of time in mind, I just do it until it has enough views/clicks for the difference to look statistically significant.

I probably should be doing actual statistical significance testing, but I'm lazy, so just do it intuitively.
