YourPsyche.org registers 20 people in the first three days
I sent out emails to a few friends, and posted an update about the website on my FaceBook account, and it seems to be working. So far we have 21 registered users. All 21 have at least started to complete a study, with 18 completing at least one, and 12 completing both studies. So we're making some headway.
Unfortunately, our bounce rate (the percentage of visitors who leave without looking at anything but the home page) is very high: around 46%. That's a real problem, and one that needs to be addressed. The percentage of visitors who ended up registering is even worse of course -- only around 20% of visitors registered. That's not too bad, except that many of the visitors know me personally, so I would have expected a higher number.
Clearly some work needs to be done on the front page to present a more compelling argument for registering. I'm all ears, so if you have ideas for improving the front page please let me know!
