American business long ago gave up on demanding that prospective employees be honest and hardworking. It has even stopped hoping for employees who are educated enough that they can tell the difference between the men’s room and the women’s room without having little pictures on the doors.

-Dave Barry

Analytics Glossary: Conversion Funnel

Posted on Mar 4, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing | 1 comment

Conversion Funnel:

• The series of steps that move a visitor towards a specified conversion event, such as an order or registration sign up. Funnels vary for every site, but best practice is to limit the depth a user must engage to convert.

A more common term for this is the ordering process. Here at PsPrint that’s what we usually say to describe the steps a consumer has to go through to place an order. It’s always a good idea to review your conversion funnel every year or so to make sure that the UI (user interface) is easy to understand and isn’t garbled with useless information or unnecessary steps. Remember that the easier it is to convert, the more likely the conversion is.

I’m in an abnormally adventurous mood today for a Monday and I’ve decided to give GrandCentral (by Google) a try. I’m not a big phone communicator, but this allows me to let people call me, leave a message or possibly get forwarded to my cell or work numbers, and give out a number that’s not necessarily my personal cell being blast about on the Internet!

Blogger users get a leg up and into the beta testing, so I my theory is that if it doesn’t work out, no harm done. So if you’re feeling silly, call me up! I’ll even run a contest!

Okay I don’t have much, but I’ll offer up 100 Entrecard credits + some link love to the funniest voice mail I receive today. Not much, but it’s what I have! I’ll also try to see if I can post the winner (not sure if GC has a function to export the sound file) but at the very least I’ll attempt to transcribe it if not.

For the record as Michael mentioned in my comments, I don’t want anyone’s number so feel free to do it as an Unknown Caller or something… I promise to erase any phone numbers I get… I’m SO not interested in collecting more lol. Just throwing that out there.

Call me on the line
Call me call me any anytime
Call me my love you can call me any day or night
