THE HITS THAT MATTER MOST

Written by Bob McElwain

But such models are so crude they often mislead when applied to your site. A CR of 2% may be nifty (or a disaster, if more was expected). However good it is, it is still only an average. It gives a useful picture only overrepparttar long term. It says nothing about today. Or right now. Or about what your next visitor will do.

Turn thisrepparttar 133611 other end to. Given a CR of 2%, how many sales can you count on in your next 100 visitors? 2? No. I said, "count on," andrepparttar 133612 answer is none.

Say you make 20 sales on your first 100 visitors today. But not a one offrepparttar 133613 next 900. Still, 20 sales in 1000 hits is a CR of 2%.

There is no way you can say your next visitor will buy. Or will not. Come up with a way to do so, and you'll be a millionaire right quick.

You simply do not know what your next visitor will do. But you probably hope he or she ...

Buys - Terrific

Returns to buy - Great news

Returns to buy again - The key to success

Tells a friend who visits - Very nice

Your list will differ. And there are other actions you may want your visitors to take. For example, sign up for free information of interest, delivered by an autoresponder over time. This often brings people back to buy. And if you can get them to set a bookmark, this may dorepparttar 133614 same.

The Secret To Improving Your Business

You can not afford to risk losing even a single visitor. Period. The big boys counting sales inrepparttar 133615 millions and hits inrepparttar 133616 billions can safely ignore a bunch. You can not.

Acceptrepparttar 133617 potential value of every single hit as unlimited. Then act in every way to draw them. And never ever turn even one aside.

Obvious, don't you think? But look about onrepparttar 133618 Web and you'll often see visitors not encouraged or even turned away. Then, of course, look to your own site and be certain you are not making such blunders.

"A Simple Guide to Analyzing All Those Web Traffic Ideas - Part 1"

Written by Gary Simpson


Continued from page 1

Another thing you need to be aware of isrepparttar amount of "fluff" or packing that surroundsrepparttar 133610 real subject matter. Often there can be several pages onrepparttar 133611 main idea and several dozen pages of near useless information to make it appear bigger.

I recently purchased a report of just 19 pages. It contained just one dubious idea that could have been presented adequately on about half an A4 sized page. The rest of it was pure packing and completely useless twaddle. The cost? I hate to admit it - $39.95 US. Ouch!

I have even heard of some training manuals on offer claiming that they contain five hundred pages (plus) of "cutting edge" information. You would think that represents a lot of information. It was certainly advertised as a "definitive" web-building and traffic steering "master" tutorial. I later learned (from another source) thatrepparttar 133612 pages are only printed on about one-third ofrepparttar 133613 available space and thatrepparttar 133614 font size would be very beneficial for extremely sight impaired readers. That makes it a very expensive tutorial. I'm pleased to say that I didn't buy that one.

You need to be wary of these things.
