Why wont my website attract visitors or members?

[Jake]

Squeeze pages have lousy search ranking and visitor retention rates. You really have to have a lot more free inviting content on the home page and not force them to pay with their email just to find out what the site is about. You might look into those floating window opt-in forms that people can close if they don't care to opt-in. You really have to sell people on the benefit of joining before forcing them to potentially sign up for spam email.


Most sites get visitors through search engines, backlinks from other sites remain the single biggest search rank driver (other than quality content) The backlink reporting tool http://opensiteexplorer.org find only 1 external link to your site.

Being active on social site and forums like Facebook can help you get links and visitors to your site as well more traditional blog comments, directory submissions, article directory submissions, guest posts on other blogs..
