As Newtons Third Law of Motion says: "To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction". The theory always reminds me that altering traffic being sent to site would impact conversion over the site. However the only thing doesn't fit with the theory is the metric are not reacting in proportion as the quality of traffic,  seasonality and performance factors would play a very vital role.

These conversion metrics are results of traffic being received on the site. The traffic beig sent over the site should be measured and grouped as Pre Click and Post Click. This will allow us to classify the traffic if there is any cannibalization over the traffic or even conversion.

For instance, there is a massive traffic flowing from your new partner and the bounce rate is way above the average of the site. There are major impact over the traffic and overall the website as the partner is resulting into following:

• Immense amount of traffic leading towards manipulation the click share being delivered by the different channel.
• The traffic being delivered has a bounce rate way above the average bounce rate for the site in the end leading towards skewed bounce rate.
• The higher traffic flow has brought down the entire conversion rate of the site which is way below the industry standard.
• The traffic flowing is fluctuating over different categories which is leading towards unstable KPI which was set earlier.
