			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Conversion rate in a website is an important measurement of business success. For example, supposing if you have a total of 12,343 visitors coming to the website in the entire month and only a total of 50 successful sales transactions are recorded. The conversion rate will be:</p>
<p>Conversion rate = Total number of successful sales transaction/ Total number of visitors= 50/ 12343 =<strong>0.40%</strong></p>
<p>Supposing again if you do not have sales data and you would like to estimate the conversion rate in that website for a specific keyword? Then again you have to follow the rough rules below:</p>
<p>High Conversion rate = 3.5% ~5%<br />
Medium Conversion rate = 1% ~ 3.5%<br />
Low Conversion rate = 0.2% ~ 1%</p>
<p>Rule number 1: If the targeted keyword is a product name and target page is all about that product name, then it has a high conversion rate. Or we can say that if the targeted keyword does exactly say the services involved in at least 3 word phrase and the page content only talks about that specific service, it will have a high conversion rate.</p>
<p>Rule number 2: If the targeted keyword is a product name but the targeted page also contains other products in a more broader aspect then it will have a medium conversion rate.The same applies if you are selling for services not products.</p>
<p>Rule number 3: If the targeted keyword is not a product name but but you are targeting the broader name, for example instead of targeting &#8220;Nokia 5110&#8243;, you are targeting &#8220;mobile phones&#8221;. The conversion rate associated with this example ranges from very low ~0.2% to 1.0%.</p>
