Freelance Board needs buyers

    Hi,
    I have a freelancers board for bidding on projects.

    http://www.UnitedStatesFreelancers.com

    The board gets freelancers, but not buyers. I have very few visits daily, but they are all from freelancers interested in bidding on work projects. I feel the board and it's rates are fine, I just cannot figure out why it doesn't attract buyers. I've tried posting on other freelance boards for freelancers to gather interest in buyer's for the site.

    Search engine submissions, classifieds, many tricks to advertising, but no real buyers. Is there a 'magic' word I am missing that buyers look for to outsource their work? I really don't believe all of the buyers on the other boards are all real, but many of them must be.

    How the heck does one get buyers onto this type of site?

    All suggestions, comments, criticisms, ideas are welcomed.

    Thank you,
    Liam

    Your domain name is too long. I would have abbreviated it as USFreelancers.com or something like that.
    There are already too many freelance boards out there. You have to do something unique to stand out.
    Good luck.
