tech-support Eric Rise:Ratio, act of faith

A good start of a campaign depends a lot on the conversion rate or conversion ratio of our website. The conversion rate is the percentage of visits that perform the expected action, download a pdf, fill out a form, buy a product, etc...

conversion ratio = # conversions/ # clicks
