#Conversion
Turning readers into enquiries without turning articles into advertisements. We cover calls to action that fit the article they sit in, where to place them, and why one relevant offer beats four generic banners. You will find how to measure whether a blog produces leads at all, using numbers you can actually attribute. We also cover the point at which a page should stop explaining and start selling, and the pages where it never should. Nothing here promises a conversion rate, because it depends on your market and your offer.
