What is an Online Conversion?
If you have ever purchased a product or service online you have “converted” from being a website visitor into a customer. Online conversion is the act or acts that a visitor takes that fulfill the pre-desired goal or objective of the website. As with the hire of a new employee or sub-contractor, there generally is some form of product or project description that outlines and details what the job of that person is.
