- How To Deconstruct Your Analytics Data For Higher Conversions
By: Jane Dawson | - The conversion rate is one of the most all important indicators an online retailer utilizes. The conversion rate, the number of purchasers divided by the number of visitors to the site, tells you how many people bought versus how many people just browsed.
The problem with using the conversion rate is that it is an outcome indicator but gives no explanation about how the rate came to be at the indicated level. For example, if your conversion rate is 2 percent and you would like it ...

The cost of a mobile home will not be more than $45000 and the probable amount of rent is $500 a month. Therefore, the increase in the amount of rent is not in proportion to the increase in the cost of the house. There is about a 200 p ...
