Programming is easy. The challenge is in understanding the problem.

Glad to help. I'm halfway through it now myself and I think it's really got some good insight.

I really appreciate this, Jon. You actually found a bug that I didn't realize-- that link and the one below it should take you to the same links as found on the site's toolbar, and the equivalent toolbar button for "get ideas" does have a landing page. This fix took 2 seconds, but I need to make sure the rest of the code is stable before I post it. Thanks again

@zuly I didn't post a link to the site until the 3rd edit, each edit being prompted by requests for more info about the site

Thanks much. I understand that overnight successes take years to occur, and your underscore of persistence and dedication is good to keep in mind. Do you have any ideas how I can get in front of some bloggers or maybe get some mentions on sites like social networks? We do have facebook/ twitter/ a blog set up already. Also-- I've updated the original post to have the site url. I'd appreciate any more insight you can offer.

Thanks. We're trying to come up with better marketing pitches. Do you have any suggestions for how to go about promoting the website specifically?

Thanks. This jives with my own concerns, that maybe the site isn't intuitive enough for users, or perhaps we don't encourage them enough to get involved. I've updated the post w/ our URL. If you wouldn't mind checking the site out and offering any more insight, I'd be very grateful =)

Thanks for the answer. This is a great example of the new kind of insight I was looking for, since I feel similarly about simply throwing more money at Google ads.

Thanks for the insight. I agree that no active users is the problem. We did a small Google ads campaign, and we had about 200 people visit the site with a low bounce rate, but no one signed up to participate. Can you offer any more advice?

I've updated the question with a few more details. I can give more if that'd still be helpful.
