Hi,
I am a beginner to SEO and I am having trouble generating leads. Recently I posted an infographic and I provided the option for people to download the infographic for free as long as they provide their business email. I even blurred the infographic a bit because I didn't want people to leave the site after viewing the infographic. While the infographic has received a lot of views, it has only been downloaded about 60 times. Can someone please tell what I'm doing wrong and point me towards the right direction?

Thanks in advance

      It would put e-mail option. Create enough value so that it makes sense to ask for an email.
      Try to offer more, instead of asking, for now.

    Is 60 a good percentage of your existing traffic? I mean If you only had 100 unique traffic, that's 60% conversion which is awesome.

    On the other hand If you had 1,000 unique traffic and 60 conversions, 6% could also be good depending on the niche. Why would your traffic want an infographic?

    You need to provide better context for that 60 number.

    Attach a FREE REPORT or a VIDEO.

    The technique you're using ,were used by Ryan Deiss in a squeeze page, it's downloadable also in LeadPages:

    it consist of a video, made blurry with the image of an infographic which cannot be seen well, and if the visitor click PLAY it pops up an email address to receive the complete video.

    Try this: put the infographic in a box like a video, and then blurry it more and put the image of PLAY BUTTON, then when the user press play it pops up an email box to insert their mail.

    It should work for lead generation.

    You have to provide real value these days for people to hand over their email address, people just assume they're going to get spammed. I don't get a huge amount of traffic on my website (Sig) but I do get a 40% opt in rate from free traffic sources. Because I try and create things no one else is giving away for free.
