Those conversion rates seem to be quite high. I’m seeing conversions rate of 1% for e-comms to be the average and 2% on high performing sites. Is there an up to date version of these standards?

Comment on The joke of long tail search keywords by Paul Thomas

Just a heads up.

Bots find websites on Google search. The terms that a bot uses will not, in most cases, make any sense at all.

I’d like to work out how to get conversions from bots! That’s for another article somewhere!?

Comment on Is bounce rate and conversion rate related? Short answer: No by Paul Thomas

Paul Thomas — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 14:13:59 +0000

Brilliant explanation! Many people have been (are) confused by these metrics. I have been working in SEO for 10 years and dumped the idea that bounces and conversions are proportionately related.

I have clients with a 40% bounce rate, their audience want a phone number – right on the top of the page in 56 point type. They are busy with orders.

I have achieved a zero bounce rate for a client two months running – they are busy too!

It boils down the industry you are in, what your audience is looking for. A big bold positioning statement drops bounces and boosts conversions!

Nice blog too by the way!

Cheers,
Paul
