    Hello. I try everything to propagate my website. I pay for google, yahoo, live...I have also pay some money to free realese or other websites like this.

    I don't know where can I more propagate my website. My website is best in online memorial I have the best editing system in online memorial websites projects but people still don't know me....

    Please try to look into my website and help me with this problem.
    I need to know, how to force people to even try to create memorial page at my site, it is free to try for two weeks.
    What can I do more? Do I have something wrong on my main page or in registration? I have about 300 clicks from (google, yahoo, live) but only 2-5% of then create website on my site. It's something wrong on my site or what? Many people search words like: memorial website, online memorial, in memory of or others but only one or two of then create site on my website. After they create website they arfe very pleased with this services and pay for membership. But I don't know what I am doing wrong on this site.

    Thank You for your help. MY site is www.last-memories.com

    Try the social bookmarking sites and some popular, niche directories.

    Write a few articles about online memorials and submit them to Ezine Articles.

    Also look for other relevant sites and try to contact the webmaster to ask about advertising

    If you have a budget, drop some money into newspapers/classifieds in large cities in the obituary section and pet section. Go where grievers go and people replace pets.

    Also, contact funeral homes as an add-on service for their patrons.

    Also, use the term grief counseling to find online opportunities on search engines.

    Good content and a good title can take you far, age of domain is also important.

    Thank you for your posts. I have another question. Do you think that if me website will be completly for free - That means that after 14 days of free trial period I will not deactivate website only display ads on it and block some unique features will I have more visitors? If they pay i will remove ads and unblock features if not website will be working but ads will be on it. Hmm...

    It's good way to have FREE SERVICE and only for special features on it you must pay??? Thank You. I think my website is very good the best on online memorial website market but something is wrong on it....Thank You. Enti

    Did you even check if there was any decent demand for that type of service? I mean, I don't see myself using that kind of service, but that's just my opinion...

    No trial.

    Goal is to drop site-wide "external", i.e. AdSense, ads for such a serious niche (unless VERY related), respect.

    Offer Free Basic (with ads in "profile" only and very related, not across site).

    Offer Paid with no ads and more features.

    Create internal "Self Promotion Ads/Call to Action" (across site okay but probably not in paid pages) and other packages such as "Family Packs".

    Do you think that if my website will be for free, more people will create and visits this site. I have many features so I have no problem after 14 days some of then to disable and activated it only for "premium memberhisp"... But I still don't know where more can I advertise. I have today buy some ads in L.A. Times and N.Y. Times....in section funnerl and breavement...Do you think that this can help .... Thank you for all your help.

    I am also working on new family tree it will be perfect something like www.geni.com because I know that many people want something like this but I don't know what more can I do with this type of site.... If some wants I will give promotion codes and you can test my website and describe me what is wrong on it... Thank You.

    I may suggest targeting social networking sites, forum post and sigs, and links swaping with similar sites. It seems you have a decent advertising budget, that can come in handy when your site has ground, ie known widely.

    Hello. Everything I earn I invest to this site. because I know it is a good services and helped many of peoples. My testimonials are really real. I have hundreds of it. I earn about $4000 but about 3000$ goes to google and 1000$ to backlinks yahoo, live, and others. I don't know what I am doing bad... I know that this site is very specific but I have still bestservices and if someone test my system then it will see that is very good editing system with all features they need. But I don't know who can write a review about my site or where can I propagate my site so other people also know that my service is very good. Or where can I add my site so people can test it if it's good service or not. Thanks

    No offense meant but the first thing you should do is to have your text reviewed and corrected by a native english speaker.

    Example in the first paragraph : "giving you the chance to share the memories of your dearest with our friends and relatives."

    Why would they want to share memories with your (enti3333) friends ??
    No, with your friends, the friends of the family of the deceased.

    And there are plenty more such "mistakes" on the first page alone.
    Visitors who newly arrive on your site will have a first reaction of "this is amateurish" no point in wasting time on this site. If they are looking to create a memory in honor of a loved one they will want to have the whole surroundings - that is the pages that make up the site but were not created by themselves - to be as good as the memory they want to honor.

    The functionality of your site may be the best around but you are letting yourself down with the incorrect use of the english language.

    I did not browse any other pages of your site because the home page was already a turn off.

    Sorry to sound rather harsh but as I said; no offense meant.

    Niche directories and relevant link trades would be the way to go for a site like yours.

    Ok. I understand that my english style on website is not correct. I try to edit it with some one whose mother language is english.

    Length of Visit Visits Percentage of all visitors
    0-10 seconds 50.84%

    Probably my problem is this that 50% of my visitors goes away after they open it:(

    Give them more reasons to stay as soon as they arrive. Engage them with useful content to make them want to read and investigate further.

    You can advertise your site on my high traffic, funeral related site http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=eulogy+speech&btnG=Search
    (no urls in the thread, sorry)

    Let me know if you're interested and I'll send details. Thanks.

    Probably because of the things you've already been told... spelling, grammar and readability errors turn people off service.

    Beyond that, you have to recognize the fact that you have an extremely niche market (the grieving who also want to make a memorial website) so don't expect high conversions based on your traffic.

    I would try free web directories. These are back links and it will improve your pr. Here's the list I use when I have time www.vmoptions.com/directory-list.php and this one is update regularly. I hope this is helpful.
