How many website visitor conversions?

[Peter Hobday]

I am asking about converting website visitors and have some figures to share with webmasters and owners. This is what we are achieving on one of our big sites:

Less than 10% of visitors go to the home page

2% of home page visitors register

50% of fresh registrants open our top performing email promotions

Of those 50% around 1.45% will buy / subscribe.

Anyone with comparable figures to share?

Many thanks

Peter

So if my calculations are correct, for every 100,000 visitors you receive, you have 1.45 sign ups. Is that enough for you to make a profit?

Less than 10% of visitors go to the home page

But from what I see you have a sign up box on each page so is this step not superfluous? I think you need to tease people into signing up some more - how about a 'why sign up' link under the sign up box?
