If you are running an e-commerce site, your main priority should be to increase sales. Increasing traffic is just one way to increase sales. Ask yourself questions such as:

  • What is the main goal of my web site? (Do you run sales, generate leads, etc)
  • Are you looking to increase sales/ leads in a particular category?
