Conversion is the activity you are hoping to improve with your campaign. The main goal for which you created a promotion, whether it is to engage, buy or opt-in.

6. Conversion Rate

A conversion rate is the means of calculating conversions.

7. Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO)

This is the process of increasing the number of people who convert on your site.

CRO is not about increasing traffic or splintering offers, it’s about improving the decision process with the traffic and assets you already have.

But they can be easily broken into two camps… Structure or Offer. 

8. Bounce

When a visitor leaves your site without taking any actions, they bounced. This is how you know the rate of people who visited your website but didn’t do what you wanted them to do – engage or opt-in.

9. Retargeting

Retargeting is also known as remarketing, and it is a form of online advertising that helps you keep your brand in front of bounced traffic after they leave your website.

For most websites, only 2% of web traffic converts on the first visit.

Retargeting is a tool designed to help companies reach the 98% of users who don’t convert right away.

As a cookie-based technology that simply uses a JavaScript code to anonymously ‘follow’ your audience all over the Web. Retargeting is the easiest aspect of running paid traffic…because it’s cheap.
