Decrease in visit % and increase bounce rates, oh my!

Hey everybody. I'm in serious need of help.

I am facing a serious traffic problem for my website, and my bounce rate is increasing.

According to Google Analytics, I haven't had any visitors to my blog for nearly a month! (Very disturbing news indeed) However I'm not sure if the stats are accurated because

1) I visit my blog daily
2) Someone commented on my blog post during that time

¿Qué Pasa? Why do I have 0 visits when someone just commented on my blog? It wasn't a trackback (I don't think so anyway).

The problem I face is that sometimes I have no idea what to blog about. I figured that maybe the reason for the increased bounce rate is because I don't blog the right stuff. But I don't know what to blog about.

And I have a feeling I need to change my squeeze page a lot because it seems extremely noob to me.

Here is my blog Unlock Secrets To Wealth
and squeeze page Unlock The Secrets To Wealth!

P.S. I know I've made a number of mistakes in various areas (just that I don't know all the mistakes that I made), so I appreciate correction. I want to learn from my mistakes, so help me out here please.

      I am using Google Analytics.

      I don't really have a social media campaign. I'm not very familiar with that. Yes I have a Twitter, but I find it difficult to follow the people who are in my target audience, mainly because most of them tweet using Twitterfeed or APIs or their tweets are scheduled, so they're like robots to me.

      Another reason is, most of the people I've found in my niche are merchants, not so much affiliates, or people with a problem who need a solution.

      I'm only using Twitter to get some street cred.


      P.S.
      I notice that my squeeze page has gotten more traffic than my blog. 1 reason, I guess, is because my articles in ezinearticles, goarticles, articledashboard, etc, are linked to my squeeze page, while only my Twitter gets linked to my blog.

      So I'm deducing that if I want to get more visitors to my blog, I should either include both the link to the squeeze page and blog in my resource box, or just a link to my blog in the resource box.

      (I want to get more visitors on my blog because I wanna put Adsense ads on it)

      P.P.S.
      I have a StumbleUpon account, but I don't login regularly. I only login to bookmark my blog entries. I don't share it with anybody because I didn't add anybody as a friend.
  • A few things...

    1. Get rid of the stupid right click blocker. It is ineffective when the visitor is using Firefox anyway.

    2. Looking at your source after bypassing the blocker, you don't seem to have Google Analytics installed. That would explain why you don't see any results. It is installed on your squeeze page but not the blog.

    3. Your blog is, well, ugly as in ugly plain. This is the kind of theme I like to use for dull, boring, Adsense niche sites. But, I'd guess you want to make this site a flagship site, so, you need a better looking, more attractive theme.

    4. The squeeze page is also plain and uninspiring.

    • that's weird. i recall installing the code using the WP plugin. i don't understand. i put the analytics account ID in the text area so it should be installed.

      do you know where to get WP themes for free? or at least, is there a website where i can generate a better looking WP theme for free? (my WP theme was done on a WP theme generator site)

      i'm reluctant to pay for a theme.

      some of my friends understand just basic php so they can't hep much.

      edit: oops. my bad.
      i just saw the "Free WordPress Themes" on your sig.
