It's not vague; it's flexible. It's built to work well for the 100+
years that copyright lasts, and it should be efficient for changing
works between different kinds of media -- including ones that don't
exist yet.
I realize that you want to use a license to garner hits for your Web
site, but that's not a big goal for Creative Commons. So, if you want to
do that, you can use the CC license(s) as a template (CC has dedicated
them to the public domain) and make your own license with those
requirements.
The only thing you _can't_ do is call it a Creative Commons license.
