Maybe you could start off by sharing yours
I've read that a basic conversion ratio for sites would be 1%. Below that is not so good (depending on the quality of your traffic). I've seen websites with much higher conversion ratios (like 1 in 15 or so).
If you search the forum for conversion, you may find more interesting stats.
my traffic is low as i have just started out, typically 20 - 30 unique visitors a day. god knows where they come from! i have done no marketing, due to my low number of designs. so i'm really wondering, am i 'pissing in the wind'? i'm not looking to conquer the world, just wondering how much effort to make.
i heard the 1% conversion ratio before, but dont really know how you judge the quality of your traffic?

If you're getting random visitors from a myspace page or basically any "untargetted" traffic, then it won't convert as well as say an ad in a targeted newsletter or website or a search engine referral where a person types in something like "odd t-shirts" and finds your site (when they are looking for something specific that you have on your site, that's a higher quality visitor).

You should be using Google Analytics, or some other type of free tracker to make sure you know where the visitors are coming from.
