What do you mean by that

When you have a website getting 100 visits per day, from Google or whatever
and you say, I am converting 1 percent. so to you, does that mean you are getting 1 sale a day off your 100 visits per day?

to me, that would take 400 visits per day to my site, and then 25 percent of those would click through to my ad, and then 1 percent of those would buy the product

I consider the conversion ratio to be the percentage of people who buy after they click on my ad or click on my text link to a sponsor page

What do you consider the conversion ratio?

I saw a guy one day saying how easy it is to make one sale a day, just convert at 1 percent and get 100 visits per day to your website, I was like ummmm not so fast

    I think conversions refer to the sales made, and the amount of people that click is the click through rate CTR

    Ok so then if someone says I have a 1 percent conversion ratio , in your opinion what does that mean? how many unique visits to his website per day?

    Wouldnt he have to have a 100 percent CTR if thats the case?

    It means the percentage of people checking out a offer and how many actually buy.

    There are several "layers"....the first is your site visitor number...the other is the number of people checking/clicking your ads/banners/offers and then landing on the actual sales page eg. for a vendor you are promoting.

    So....your "conversion rate" COULD apply to sales <--> visitors....but could also apply to "people clicking ad <--> people who buy"..that's how i see it.

    I saw a guy one day saying how easy it is to make one sale a day, just convert at 1 percent and get 100 visits per day to your website, I was like ummmm not so fast
    Yes that's definitely not correct....site visitors doesnt mean squat...eg. banner ads have a VERY low click rate..maybe 1% of your visitors.

    Yes ok but for example the guy who I quoted who said to newbies
    Its easy to get 30 bucks a day, just get a 1 percent conversion ratio and 30 bucks per sale and then get 100 visitors per day to your website.......easy

    wasnt that totally misleading, since if that were true he would have to be getting a 100 percent CTR? on his ads?
