I think my site works well for individual users, but would work even better within a community of users. My problem seems to be in making it clear what the benefits of the site are compared to similar sites out there. I get quite a bit of traffic so I guess I have a good starting point, but now I need to convert that into registered users.

From what I am reading, that has been the big hurdle for just about every startup out there. To your point, antidaily, having more users, real or otherwise, does seem to have a snowball effect in terms of traffic and users. It would be nice if all of my users were the real sort with their own ideas and content.

What kind of conversion rates are you getting? What do they get for registering?

Could you post a link?

The conversion rate is embarrassingly low right now, but to be fair its only been live for a few weeks so maybe I'm just being impatient. I don't think so though, or at least I don't think its ever too early to start tackling the problem.

Anyway, as far as the single user is concerned, it is a free feed management site - maybe a bit unexciting, but I think the features are an improvement some of the other options out there. Where it gets cool though, and this goes back to what I was saying about the social-networking aspect, is how users can share and redistribute content. This is the exciting stuff that seems hard to convey to my visitors in the few seconds they're engaging. I know how impatient or hurried I can be while browsing, so I am not entirely surprised by the problem.

I've place a link below if you are still intersted in having a look.
