7 Deadly Sins of Affiliate Marketing

Thinking Small
Though it sounds like motivational speaker buzz-speak, you don’t have to settle for low conversions rates. According to a recent posting on Search Engine Land, the average conversion rate in most industries is somewhere 2.35% and the top 25% in those industries were converting at higher than 5%.
