		<description>Great Article!

Would anyone be able to provide me with or point me in the right direction for a top 10 list of online retailers who do not have bricks &amp; mortar storefronts and also dont have a catalog, i.e. like Amazon.

Thanks,
Michael Davis</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;&quot;I&#039;m surprised it&#039;s so LOW!...&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

When people visit a site like Amazon.com, they&#039;re usually &quot;pre-sold&quot;... they&#039;re perhaps already looking for something. Actually, I&#039;m surprised it&#039;s as LOW as 9.6% for Amazon!

Speaking with my customer hat on, I&#039;ve often been frustrated with Amazon&#039;s whole buying process. Having to try and remember my Amazon account password has often left me looking for another retailer.

Speaking with my marketing hat back on, I guess they&#039;ve tested it and it gets the highest conversion. (Pity!)</description>

		<description>Great to see what the leaders can achieve.

In my own sector (footwear) the market leader is Zappos. I wonder what their conversion rate looks like ?</description>

		<description>Bryan - good post 
It&#039;s always work, work, work
Does your website attract prospects with $
(better to have 100 paying customers than 10,000 vistitors)
Does your organic search and PPC bring prospects with $ to you?
Do you have a consistent value message on your website that converts prospects to customers?
Do you use email to acquire prospects and build strong customer relationships?</description>

		<description>Bryan, 
I agree with you 100%. If you&#039;re not consistently striving to make your site the best it can be, you&#039;ll never reach the acclaimed &quot;10% benchmark&quot;. 

It takes lots of hard work, research and most importantly PERSISTENCE to create a successful website and brand online. There&#039;s really no such thing as &quot;overnight success&quot; and this article proves it.

Best wishes,
LM</description>
