It is an important tool for calculating how well your ad campaigns are doing. It is also a difficult calculation to make. Thankfully the software is usually built into your ad program.
But, what if it isn't...
Here's a very simple explanation of how this works. Let's say you spend 20 cents per
keyword
and set a monthly budget of $100 on a
pay-per-click
campaign. That gets you at least 500 clicks to your site.
Now let's say all you want your visitor to do is sign up for your free
ezine
. If 250 visitors sign up, your percentage rate is 50%. This means it costs you 40 cents for every new ezine
subscriber
. Very simple. It starts to get complicated when you want your visitor to do more than one thing. What if you want them to sign up and buy your e-book?
Tracking these percentages may seem difficult. If you want to make sure you are spending your money wisely, it must be done!
