That being said, the same quality traffic should convert the same regardless of the amount per hour/day/week (4500 hits/hour should generate 3 sales just as 4500 hits/day should)

Should being the operative keyword.

Quality of traffic certainly should, by common sense, make more sales.

However, I've seen an increase on one of my blogs from 150-200 google hits a day to about 1200 google hits a day, and no increase in conversions. They haven't gone down, the traffic is staying, reading, looking, but conversions have stayed level, no up, no down.

I would like to blame it on my own blog, that it's not optimized to sell, and that it's my fault, which it probably is - but what I don't get is that even with an increase in traffic, sales haven't gone up.

I'm confused! |badidea|
