NO!!!!!!!!!
Only a fucking moron boasts about conversion rates , boast about how much you fucking earned not about what you converted at!!! ;-)))
You can filter traffic from SE's like fuck , and refine it and send 350 clicks (your count) converting to 5 sales (on their count) for a fan- fucking-tastic ratio of 1 in 70.
Me ? I'm really crap at filtering traffic and all that stuff ,I'd take the gross amount of traffic to the site , enjoy the Server Redirect and send 3000 (my count) hits converting to 6 sales at a sucky ratio of 1 in 500.
