In the world of Internet marketing, and especially affiliate marketing, there is always a lot of discussion about optimizing websites for search engines, finding profitable niches, blogging and pinging, etc. The one word that doesn't come up quite as often is "conversions." I wonder why?

It seems like increasing a site's conversion rate would be one of the most important topics discussed. After all, the conversion rate is a measure of the percentage of visitors that come to a site — and then make a purchase.

Even if you do everything in your power to get visitors to your site it's imperative that, after they get there, they actually buy something. The visitors that just stop by and take in all of the free information aren't worth much. The ones that buy are like gold.

There are some easy things that can be done to make sure a site's conversion rate is as high
as possible. In my next post, I'll show you three things you can do now (easily).

So stay tune.....

If you're new to Internet Marketing, you'll be doing most the stuff yourself, such as designing the web-pages. You may not have the resources to outsource this part of the business, as you may not have earn enough.
