    Problem is im not converting that well at all..... eeek

    Anyone have any tips. Perhaps my content is too handy!

    If your bounce rate is 12%, then that really is excellent, most sites average 30%-40%. Can you provide us with the URL? hard to know why your conversion rate is low otherwise.

    Your a little high on your bounce rate, you should be looking at breaking under 10%.

    The two metrics you need to look at are open rates, which you need to be hitting 30% and then click throughs which should be above 17.5%

    Are you running this as a third party email or as regular use email?

    It depends on where else your visitors might go after reading your useful information and that depends on your market.

    10% seems incredibly low. I'd say aim for 20%.

    I'd say disregard any advice from anyone connected with Affiliate Future. I've read his post about 12 times now and still don't know what he's trying to say?

    I think Peter thought you were referring to email marketing and not web site bounce rates as seen in Google Analytics etc...
