    My website PictPicture.com is currently in Pre Launch. I'm not getting the traffic nor conversions I would like. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any advice, any tips, any help, would be MUCH appreciated!

    It's almost done but I'm hoping to have a mailing list for launch day. So far the list is really small =/ I have no idea how people have large lists already. How do people do it?

    Yeah site needs finishing before anyone will register in any way at all.

    Saying that tho how about some tit-bits of information as to what you plan for the site, 'A Community Driven Photo Rating Site !' is a tagline not a description of what you would expect us to see when the site goes live.

    The design seems clean cut and minimal but that again will most likely be quite different once the Rating bits and Photo viewers are in.

    Post it again when finished and people will be able to give you much better response.

    The site definitely needs some graphics in it. Maybe look for a graphic icon to place beside your site's name? I would also add some gradients so that it doesn't look too plain...maybe between the 2 lines you have there.

    It looks unfinished.. No one will use the website looking like that.. Finish it up then worry about traffic and $$

    Okay .. to me it already seems that you really did worked on the site, but like said above: give people a reason why they should signup to your mailing list!

    I'ld also make a bit better logo; with what I mean, add one or more images to it, so it looks more like a logo ... at this moment it rather looks like just text :)
    Well, text is sometimes good enough as logo, but mostly not ;)

    Further I suggest you to add some hover effects on your links :) That makes the site look more dynamic.

    Btw, I must admit nice site idea -probably not fully unique, but I like it ;)

    I am not sure if I understand you right. But it is still in pre-launch and you are saying that you don't get traffic? You mean are you actively promoting your site through advertising etc. Have the search engines started to index your site. Otherwise it won't be surprising you aren't getting much traffic. Patience is a virtue when it comes to web traffic.

    Few quick comments
    - What do you mean by get pict (in your banner)
    - May be a community 'picture' rating site (ratther than 'photo' rating site) sounds more professional i guesss
    - I clicked on the links for articles and links - they seem to be fine

    Given that your site is still to launch this is the best I could say for now. More later. Good luck.

    It doesn't really give anyone much of an idea of what they are registering for... what it's all about. Some people may be reluctant to do it. Like most things, it takes time. Hopefully when it's "live" things will change. Good luck!
