  | Got the visitors but not the greensHello as a lot of you may know ive used freegiftgrab since early days of my freebie hunting. My website has incresed in popularity going from 279 visitors a month to now a nice 1500 people a month. Problem is these guys just sign up. i get maybe one green every 2 months maybe two greens. I'm hitting 12-15 sign ups per day which is giving me an est ratio of 2:465 Ive changed my site several times as u guys know my designing skills or not up to best. Can someone give me some ideas on how to improve my website as this is obviously the reason why people do not complete the offer. around 30% of my website vistors sign up. So theres a problem from when they go to the FJ site and they just do not complete an offer. Even though i explain clearly on my website. thanks |

 | Bet that ratio would be a bit different if the LOVEFiLM Free Trial was still there! That really sucks though. It's not like your sites not pulling sign ups! Maybe you should talk about the offers more on your site? Also it's a bit on the thin side. Plus I'd recomend a space at the bottom after the border as it looks like it should keep going down. If I didn't have to rush out now I'd look a bit better, sorry.

| Your site looks like crap. Ok no offense here, I'm trying to help you out. You should get a good-looking free theme just look up free website themes on google or such. You could also try switching your links to kudos. I have found a better ratio for them. On freebiejeebies my ratio was 1:30 and on kudos my ratio is 1:6.5

btw. try with less FREE words on your site because, let's face it, it's not quite free. It could be that everyone think it's absolutely free and then suddenly there is offer to complete and it's required to pay with credit card. Yes, there are free offers but not every visitor is from US or UK. | |

Agree with what MJ10 said though. Bit thin, not very catchy, Try and talk more about an offer - Intuit, Coral etc. And as shrimp said, might also want to think about getting a template, and a redesign will be easy from that. | |

 | As above get a free template and butcher it to your needs.

| Thanks guys.... and dont worry i love a bit of critism... it helps you with a lot in life. Yeah i could say my site looks pretty crappy lol. I never used a template as all my website is done by a drag and drop blue voda. Less free and more about the offers. and use a template., widen my website. anything else? |

| Try discussing the offers a bit more like MJ10 said, anybody can sign up and it looks like they don't know what to do next and if you have that info on your site then they might be encouraged to complete an offer.

| I guess there are a million and one things that affect ratios, what I do like about your site though is the bit near the bottom: "Using material from this website will be dealt with" Is this your family tree?

| I actually meant to mention earlier, give kudos a try. Maybe don't change all your links, but try doing a few and see the rations you get. I found at the start mine were amazing! It also showed me what people did on my site... I have 2 sign up links on the home page of quickfreeiphone.com and I changed those to Kudos, I left the rest of the site linking to FJ... I'm now on 400 kudos reds in a few months! Signups died on FJ though, so shows me people don't go deep into my site... might just concentrate on 1 or 2 page site designs more.

| Yep. Just like I said up the top. I think you will find kudos a better converter.

| well yea obviously, and I use that... just interesting to see how much the inside pages are ignored! Especially when I have a page for every gift!

Because of this I'd highly suggest pushing the "COMPLETE AN OFFER" part of it on the home page, because you really can't rely on people going to a "How-It-Works" page etc.
