No Sales? Increase conversions not traffic

Everyone wants more sales to their website, tell me a business owner who doesn't?

The following article from web expert Sophie Wegat hits the nail directly on the head below by stating its about the number of conversions not the traffic to the site that's important.

* There’s problems with your website
