Article Body:

Possibly the most misunderstood part of online marketing is improving 
 conversion rates... 
 Improving conversion rates produces some of the greatest returns on 
 investment of any activity you can engage in while trying to improve 
 the sales of your web site.
 Maximizing your web sites conversion rates can produce a tremendous 
 competitive advantage.
 Niche after niche and industry after industry have proven that once 
 a marketer with an obsession for maximizing traffic conversion enters 
 the niche, its “game over” for the existing websites in 
 that market that don’t adapt and begin improving their own conversion 
 rates.
 Customers and affiliates seem to almost magically gravitate towards 
 the websites that have the highest conversion rates. And high converting 
 websites can afford to far out spend the competition on marketing and 
 advertising.
 When it comes to increasing the sales of your online business, the 
 basics are actually quite simple... There are only three things you 
 need to focus on to improve your overall sales volume.
 Those 3 things are:
 1. Increasing the traffic to your website. 
 2. Increasing the average amount customers spend per visit. 
 3. Improving your visitor to sales conversion rates.
 That’s it... Every revenue generating activity you can engage 
 in to maximize your online profits falls under one of those three areas.
 Unfortunately the vast majority of online businesses and internet marketers 
 spend most of their time focusing on only one of those three critical 
 areas. (And it’s often the least effective area.)
 Increasing the average amount customers spend per visit and improving 
 conversion rates have a far greater impact on your long term profitability 
 than focusing exclusively on increasing the traffic to your web site.
 Your web sites conversion rates are impacted by four main areas.
 1. Usability. 
 2. Persuasion. 
 3. Trust. 
 4. Testing.
 Usability is simply how easy it is for visitors to navigate your web 
 site and how easy it is for them to accomplish whatever their particular 
 goal is on your web site.
 Persuasion is a measure of how effective your web sites copy, calls 
 to action and other elements are at convincing visitors to purchase 
 from you (or take the specific actions that you want them to take.)
 Trust is an essential yet often overlooked element of the conversion 
 process. Even if your web site is highly usable and persuasive, if your 
 visitors do not trust you they will not buy from you. 
 Testing and tracking is where the big gains in conversion rate improvement 
 come from. By focusing long-term on continually testing and improving 
 your sales process on your web site you can increase conversion rates 
 incrementally over time. These small improvements will compound to produce 
 very large gains in conversion rates, sales and overall profitability.
 The bottom line is this...
 Developing a long term commitment to improving and maximizing your 
 conversion rates will result in a devastating competitive advantage 
 that will guarantee you dominance in any niche you decide to enter.
 Because so few online businesses understand the tremendous power of 
 maximizing conversion rates, even gaining a slight advantage will allow 
 you to blast past your competition.
