1) awareness. I didn't even know that site existed

2) Chicken and egg problem / opportunity cost. Every additional site I post a job on costs me time in posting the job and making sure the formatting works on that site. (The latter is a non-trivial time-sink). A site that has only 30 jobs probably isn't getting enough traffic from job seekers to be worth my time and energy.
