Too many get so caught up on worrying about page rankings and the other numbers they miss or forget about what is the real measure of ROI. Building relationships and a community is the value they miss. If they would be concerned about that, the “numbers” will happen. Great post Dawud!!!

Excellent article Dawud. Most people we talk to are initially very focused on driving traffic to their website. They slowly discover that traffic does not always translate into orders.

The average ecommerce site reports about 2.2% conversion rate. Lead gen sites are between 10 to 12%. With some optimization work, you can hit a double digit conversion rate. The top 10 ecommerce sites are averaging around 12%.

Thanks for another great article! I definitely try to focus on getting my blog readers to actually want my services. Getting them to the page is useless if I don't sell them on ME, not just my site! Lauries last blog post..Branding and Blogging

Great article with excellent information. Thank you for the reminder. Sometimes we get so caught up with rankings and other things fall to the wayside. Renee aka MekhisMoms last blog post..Who's A Winner?
