Knowing you conversion rate is the key

[angienewton]

Welcome to the forum Daniel. Feel free to introduce yourself.

As far as knowing conversion rates, how would one figure that out? I really need to dig in and learn how to read my stats better and figure all this type of stuff out. Any tips on how to proceed?

Angie, it sounds a lot more complicated than it really is. But I'll explain it to you in layman's terms to make sure you understand my explanation.

When studying your stats, let's suppose 1000 people clicked on your affiliate link for XYZ product, and you ended up making 100 sales. Doing simple math, you know that your conversion ratio is 10%.

That's pretty much the basics of figuring out your conversion ratio.

So it's not as hard as I made it out to be, LOL! Thanks David. I'm sure when I get into the stats and look at them it's going to take me time to figure out everything like how do I know how many people clicked on my affiliate link for XYZ product?

See I told you I don't get this stuff. I'm thankful for patient people *wink*

I'm also interested in what people use to track. I used to use Dynotracker, but it quit working and the company has gone extinct. My Google Analytics campaigns don't seem right; I must be doing something wrong or they're too complicated or something.
