Average conversion ratios

KG Gary · 2006-06-07, 03:58 PM

Been submitting freesites only for about three months, and the raw figure I have in Unified Stats is 1:1964.
I half-planned for about 1:1200 when starting out so like you I'm a bit concerned, however those stats include a few sponsors that I just can't seem to convert!
A few sponsors are currently at 0:3000-ish, and one is at a rather nasty 1:10593, really dragging those numbers up, or is it down?

I had a really really bad last two weeks of May with just one signup and that was very very worrying. Still have no idea why.

I've looked for patterns and tried to recreate what I thought was a successful design etc, but the only thing I can point to that seems to make a difference is including lots of juicy text. Sometimes I write a mildly entertaining little story to go with the photos and that seems to make a small but noticable difference in conversions.

I guess it's all part of the learning process, and three months building freesites isn't really much to go on.
Approaching my 100th freesite now and still enjoying myself!

Sorry for rambling, the answer to your question is 1:1964.
