Editor's Notes

  1. If at first glance this number seems low, realize that it could be way higher after optimizations are made to increase it Is this only taking AdWords traffic into consideration?
  2. Much easier to visualize. Preferred by my boss If data is low, switch to “Based on Impressions”
  3. Not extremely helpful at first glance, more valuable when you select Campaign, Ad Group or Keyword Segmentation Most value IMO in ratio column (far right hand side)
