In internet marketing, conversion rate is the ratio of visitors who convert casual content views or website visits into desired actions based on subtle or direct requests from marketers, advertisers, and content creators.
Successful conversions are interpreted differently by individual marketers, advertisers, and content creators. To online retailers, for example, a successful conversion may constitute the sale of a product to a consumer whose interest in the item was initially sparked by clicking a banner advertisement. To content creators, however, a successful conversion may refer to a membership registration, newsletter subscription, software download, or other activity that occurs due to a subtle or direct request from the content creator for the visitor to take the action.
Measuring conversions
For web sites that seek to generate offline responses, for example telephone calls or foot traffic to a store, measuring conversions can be difficult[citation needed]. Otherwise, a Conversion funnel can be setup in a site's analytics package to track user behavior.
