Ok serious Question, Who Can Answer this

[DebsDeep]

I was looking at stats and wondered

Whats the traffic flow ratio from page to page

My flow looks like this


main Whatever number
tour around 71% click from the main to tour
join around 38% click from the tour to the join page


This is what I am experiencing, this seem reasonable? Should I expect more from the tour to the join?


Thanks in advance

[cherrylula]

nice ratios!

[DebsDeep]

so these are good?
I shoudlnt be expecting better?

[Jobber]

You should always expect better.... ;)

Those seem pretty good numbers to me. I guess the key number though is how many of those 38% end up joining.

The camouflage strategies certain animals exhibits is wondrous and phenomenal. The weedy seadragon (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus) and the leafy seadragon (Phycodorus eques), both found among macroalgae on rocky reefs in Australia, are two that I find particularly fascinating.

It depends. Are surfers going to the join page because they click on ?Join?? Are they getting there because they click next and you made next the join page?

If they?re going to the join page because it?s the next page and they though they were going to see more of your site then the stats doesn?t truly represent the percentage of people that wanted to join your site. Given this, if you only had one tour page with next being a join page then you could be doing better ... way better.

If you had multiple tour pages (i.e. 5 pages) and they were going to the join page before viewing page 5, then you?re doing well.

Is it the same % for each site or do you have one that excels more than another?

You can improve the percentage by making almost everything click through to the join page.. all the thumbs etc. But at the end of the day the $$$ is all that matters.


I've seen tours 30%-60% to the join page off the main tour page.

yeh see that part made me wonder too
On my tour i have a "continue" link
That continue takes them to the join....

But I was seeing this as a "wanting more" of what they are seeing thing
The more they like, the more likely to sign up no?
