I've heard from many people that their business is picking up and more people are getting off the fence. But, do you know by how much it's picked up over last month?
To seem busy doesn't mean you're busier than you were. Maybe you were busy, but it could have been a different type of busy. Some clients need their hands help more than others.
When you track your stats, you have concrete evidence that you're busy and that things are picking up in your market. And just because you get more leads doesn't mean your "busier" if your stats stay the same.
For example, in March, I had 112 visitors to my website from Google and 154 visitors from Yahoo. Out of those visitors, I had an 8% conversion ratio from Google and a 9% conversion from Yahoo.
In April, I had 148 visitors from Google and 170 visitors from Yahoo.
I could look at the numbers from March to April and "assume" that I'm busier... however, what if my conversion ratios are the same? Am I actually busier or am I just splitting my time differently? Some would argue that I would automatically be busier even with the same ratio because the initial numbers increased.
Yes, that is very true.
However, the number that I feel makes me busier is that the conversion from my website on Google was 12.1% and on Yahoo it was 11.1% in April.
Not only did my visitor count increase, but my conversion ratios increased as well!!
What do your stats say? You don't know? You need a website that works FOR you and not AGAINST you! I like being able to track every penny I spend.
The market is definitely picking up...

I know what you mean. I look at my numbers everyday and according to my results my phone should be ringing off the hook. seems more and more people want to be totally anonymous. I can't even get them to answer an email. Hopefully, when they are ready to do something they will email or call.
