Hi KissMetrics
Like this one. Where did you get the data – especially on increased traffic and conversion rates. Do share. Thanks.

As always, a great info-graphic. Thanks!
I haven’t tried kissmetrics. But I think I am going to check it out since I want to find out more on how will I promote my website more based on the traffic that I am getting. The info graphic is very informative and very detailed too. I like the suggestion to make the marketing idea more simple, avoid exaggerating the product and establish the trust.
