With any venture on the web, your number one source of traffic for the long run should be natural, search engine based.  Why?Once you work on a few keywords that get decent search volume, this source of traffic is FREE and consistent.PPC and other methods are also fine, but are also subject to other risks ($$$ cost) that really have to be managed.You really just need links and content as the keys to getting higher ranking on Google.

One way to get links is through  submitting niche articles related to your site to an article directory.  Once you decide on what type of site you want to build to either sell stuff OR just do adsense revenue, its a good idea to write at least 20 articles (300-500 words).Make sure you have signed up for an Adsense and Adwords account before you write any articles, even if you have no plans to use them.Google has several great free tools for doing keyword research.  You don’t need to spend days researching keywords BUT you really need to pick 3 or 4 keywords to focus on for your articles that get decent traffic in the search engines and are related to your topic.  Another tool you can use that is free is PPC Web Spy (just google it) – it allows you to see what keywords people are bidding on for their PPC ads on Google – again, they have probably done extensive work since they are paying for the ad clicks – no reason you cannot just benefit from their work and use some of those keywords.

Once you have done this, make sure you write at least 5 articles using 2 of the researched keywords as links to your site.Do not try to focus on too many keywords at once - you will need 200-300 links on each to really have any impact, the larger the list, the harder it is to focus on all of them at once.  This is where any article directory comes in handy.You then sumbit your article which is then redistributed for you by the directory to others looking for content or to learn about a subject.This really does make getting links easier and faster in the long run - it just takes a bit of time to start working.  In addition, you may want a tool to help rewrite your articles so that many different versions are distributed to thousands of sites.  This is a key to quicker ranking on the engines as the same thing distributed over and over just does not do the trick.

In addition to articles, you will want to submit your site on all the major social networks like Facebook, StumbleUpon, Delicious, Digg, etc.  The more the better.You will need to create an account at all of them - this can be time consuming but only needs to be done once.  You can search on Google for a list of the major ones.  Once this is done, there are of course tools that will automate a posting to all of the accounts at the same time - again most of these have a fee to use per month BUT save you a ton of time.

Almost anything you want to do on the web can be found for free, but there are tons of stuff that will save you huge amounts of time for a small fee.I usually opt for the time saving tools - in the long haul its really worth it as you can accomplish so much more.There is always a trade off of time saved vs paying for this saved time.Some things I accomplish with completely free tools, others I pay a monthly fee to use because of the amount of time saved so I can get more done.

Of course there is more than these 2 steps - but if these 2 are only done you should start seeing results in about a month.  Longer term, even once you get ranking, you need a plan to continually feed articles to directories – not as often as the beginning, but you really want to do at least 1 per month per keyword to keep fresh links coming into the search engines.Over longer periods of time, the existing links that get distributed disappear as sites go offline or content is replaced.Once you have a decent amount of articles written, you can often just do a complete rewrite of an older article and then submit that again.
