Most marketers believe it is because there is so much content for people to choose from. In other words, why should someone read yours? And the stats do tell that story ( 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created each day ), but it’s simpler than that.

Getting looks but no sales? Let’s turn those window shoppers into buyers – and at a high rate. Use conversion rate optimization to get the most of every dollar spent on PPC. Hit the sweet spot for what persuades the greatest number of your visitors to take action. My gut tells me the reason for this is MOST companies are too caught up in the “business as usual syndrome”, and they rarely take a second to stop and think about really focusing on conversion optimization.
