Most of the time we think conversion starts when the visitor lands on our Site. But conversion actually starts from wherever the visitor first locates our site. How the site was located. What description the visitor sees before clicking to your site or what recommendation or word of mouth brought the visitor to your site. This pre- conversion state is what to a large extent, can determine whether conversion actually takes place or not. This is what I call the keyword-title-description-landing page formula. This formula is explained in my free ebook Google Adwords Made Easy. You can download this free ebook at home base business ideas site.

What enables conversion to take place. A visitor landing at your site should immediately feel comfortable with your site. First impression as they say matters a lot. For conversion to take place you must hold the visitor’s attention once he lands on your site. Some of the points to note that make for easy conversion are:

Fast Load:

A slow loading website by 5% can less your visitors almost 30%. The slow speed can be done by different reason. If you are using wordpress then try to use cache plugin to resolve the issue a bit. You can check the site speed from various tools. Even google has a tool where you can find what the reason behind it for slow speed. The main reasons for maximum websites are css and javascript cache, high image size and other. Try to optimize the image size by using any designing tool like photoshop, gimp etc. You might be also able to check some pages of your website is taking too much time to load. So try to optimized those pages also. But try to optimized the home page i mean to say the home page or site root links(index) page first.If you are new to blog and not having any blog then read that to know how to start the blogging.

Your website should load fast. The next site is a click away. If your site loads slowly your visitor clicks away and you have lost a potential customer. Usually, graphics, animations, are the cause of slow loading pages. Your can use some software, available free on the internet, to reduce the size of your graphics so that they load fast.

When you will do the loading speed optimization be sure you have done for the mobile and web for both. We know that now a days 70%-80% visitors are coming for mobile. So optimizing for mobile is first target. Try to keep it above 90-95% for best experience.

Professional Look

Your site should have a professional look about it. It should at first glance portray a quality site. This adds a little bit of credibility to the site. The site is then seen as a serious site. State your case quickly. Let your visitor know what your site is about in a few words. Don’t go rambling about your achievements. That can come later.

Give the visitor what he is looking for:

Arrange your content in an easy to understand way. Whether you are using Tables or CSS for site design, make sure your content is arranged in such a way that the visitor moves from one section of the site to another without confusion or frustration. If you are catering to different kinds of visitors, demarcate your site or page clearly showing these different sections for visitors.In a single word make the listing page user friendly and try to give maximum information along with the images. For physical product most conversion done with the image. Buyer like to buy from online if they are sure what they are looking to purchase is the same product which has been listed.

Include Privacy policy and Terms and Conditions:

Do not forget to add these 3 pages in your website or blog. These are as follows Privacy Policy, terms and conditions and disclaimer. These 3 page not only look better to see even it help to make the site more professional to visitors. Either use any tool or write the content from your own to make these pages. Also be sure you should use your email id for that. Remaining pages also required like about us, contact us etc. But most of the time we not care about these policy pages. I have seen lot of website are look professional they are doing good business added lot of content in website but thesepolicy pages are not there.

Include your Privacy Policy, Phone Numbers, About Us information on every page of your site. This builds some element of trust. Visitors may not click to these pages but the fact that they are there builds some credibility.

No mistake for Grammers and Typos

Do not irritate your visitors with bad grammar or typos. Check and crosscheck your content. Ask somebody to read through your content and point out grammatical errors and typos. These kinds of errors portray a site as non seriousness and therefore suspect. If you must use banners use them sparingly. Do not allow your banners to distract your visitors from the desired action to be taken. Banners are been clicked on less and less these days.

Having taken care of all of the above, your site is set to present your visitors with your carefully packaged offer. You begin by getting to know your present conversion rates. It is only logical that before any action is taken to improve conversion rates, the present conversion rates are known.

What is your website’s conversion rates. There are many actions a site may desire a visitor to take once he lands at the site. It is the conversion rates of these desired actions that you want to calculate. Lets look at some the typical conversion rates that need to be calculated and what can be done to improve them.
