Quality - Conversion rates
Traffic volumes give no insight into engagement.
Conversion rates give insights into the quality of the interaction shows where visitors come form
Conversion rates can be at the visit level or the unique visitor.
Bounce rate is related to conversion rates (rate/number of visitors who only go to the landing page and then leave)
Bounce rate typically between 26 – 75 %
