I have been studying for many years on the subject of the effects of diet and health. About 1 year ago I decided to do a website to help any one who had a need or desire to be healthier. I have found tons of facts that absolutely prove a poor diet will make you sick in some way. The problem is to this day my site is rarely visited, I have found great cook books that deal with healthy living and great organic products. Why is it that no one is interested in this info. I can tell my home page is clicked but not many stay long enough to actually find out what my site is about. Don't sick and anemic people actually want help? www.healthfix4life.com
When I was depressed, I often looked for websites that might give me ideas on coping with it. If I saw one with multiple headlines and links to other websites that allowed me to purchase something (the way yours does), I immediately switched websites. It always seemed to me that if I was going to be paying for something, it would be a real therapist (as opposed to some online self-help tapes, etc.)
So, that may be your answer. People who come to your site are most likely looking for information, not an online cure. While useful information is in abundance, it is set up to look like a "For Sale" sign. [ scootermclisle's advice column | Ask scootermclisle A Question ]

When people search for information on the internet through places like google what may match with your website may match on some other major website provider like mayo clinic and things like that so larger more visited websites will show up first on searches and people might find the information they are looking for before clicking and scrolling all the way down to your page... Some pointers may be that you might want to make sure it is being updated often, there are no spelling and grammer mistakes.... Is it an easy to use website? Have you tried re-designing it to make it more interesting to look at? Is there a section for people to leave feedback? And remember if you think it is easy to get around, not everyone thinks alike! I really do not think it is a problem with lack of wanting info but people are faster moving to look at other sites first. Hope this helps!
