When you rank higher in search results, you get more clicks. Ideally, many of those people will stay on your website. Some of them, however, are going to quickly leave and return to the search results page. This is known as "bouncing" and it's a problem because it often signifies that your site did not give them what they were looking for.

In fact, some business owners specifically do not use them on these grounds. They don't want to seem pushy. However, since studies have found that calls to action do work and do increase sales, it's time to shift that perspective. A call to action that is done correctly won't be annoying or detract from sales numbers. That only happens when it's not implemented well.

Getting traffic to your site is only half of the battle. You also need to keep people on the site, make conversions and make sales. This is why quality content, rather than keyword spamming, is so important. You need the type of site that not just ranks highly, but that offers information and that keeps people on the page.
