Its time to start making good decisions based on the data your website generates for you. When you send out emails, you put several CTA links. Your data will tell you which link performed most clicks. When you place CTA links on your website you know which ones are most relevant and which positions perform best results.

Too many businesses build their websites with flash, with sign-up forms, with social buttons, etc. and very few measure or analyze the performances of these features.
