I may be all wet here, but if you opened the valve while the clutch was on the floor you won't get any fluid out of the bleeder. Then if you let the pedal back up while the bleeder is still open you just suck air into the system and things get worse. Check the fluid resevoir and make sure you have fluid then pull the pedal back up. Open the bleeder valve and have someone push the pedal down (operate by hand if you have to). Close the bleeder valve and then pull the pedal back up. Repeat the process until you get the air out and you have pedal pressure again. Keep an eye on the clutch master cylinder and don't let it run dry.
