Currently, YouTube referrals represent more than 45% of all the referrals to the Dynomighty site. Company executives used to see even higher percentages prior to ramping up other marketing campaigns… but it still out-weighs everything else.
More importantly, the percentage of referrals from YouTube convert to a sale at around 50% – other site referrals typically convert at around 10%.
