| I build two websites. When I introduce my websites to others in some forums, I aways be deleted. Should I learn SEO or make AD for my websites? What can I do ? I read the article "How to Make Money From Your Blog" that say StevePavlina.com was launched on Oct 1st, 2004. By April 2005 it was averaging $4.12/day in income. Now it brings in over $200/day $300/day $400/day $1000/day (updated as of 10/29/06). He didn’t spend a dime on marketing or promotion. It's surprising. http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...rom-your-blog/

| There are so many ways to drive traffic. You can just do a google search. Eg are article marketing, forums, blogging, SEO, ezine-advertisements, AdWords. Each and every one CAN generate traffic to your site. Just focus on one or two methods and do it till you get traffic before you move on to another method. IHMO, blogging is one of the fastest way to generate traffic. Here are some methods that I used. Hope they are useful to you: 1. Register your blog at technorati.com. It's the google for blog! 2. Add widgets to your blog, like MyBlogLog to encourage interactions between bloggers. 3. Add social bookmarks and feeds. 4. Post meaningful comments at other blogs. They will tend to reciprocate and visit your blog and give you a comment. 5. Submit your blog to blog directories. There are tons of them on the net. Do a quick search for them. 6. Last but not least, CONTENT is king. You must have heard before. If readers find your blog interesting or useful to them, they will go back your blog for sure and viral marketing will be at work if they recommend your blog to other readers!

| If you got deleted from Forums where you introduced your websites, you most likely used the wrong approach. Blatant ads will be deleted from Forums. However, if you provide valuable, genuine comments and information (while having your website address in your SigFile), you should be fine. René |

| Are you websites actually worthwhile and unique? Or are they simply the same thing as 50 million other sites? Unless they're creative and different and provide info that can't be gotten elsewhere, submitting them places isn't going to do anything for you. |
| |||
| Also, the layouts of both of your sites are the same and they have test posts. You should probably change the interface to that of a normal blog... Don't make people register to post comments...

| Just posted this in another thread, but oh well. There are many ways of building traffic... Obviously content is king, but if all you do is create content and don't worry about anything else, you probably won't get a lot of traffic, at least not for a long time. "If you build it they will come" is generally not a good method of getting traffic. Best ideas that have worked for me: - Link Exchanges (obviously is key for search engines and generating traffic from there) - Comments on similar blogs - Often results in a reciprocal comment or link Obviously it's a lot more complicated than that, but that is what has worked best for me, along with the creation of good content.

I think the main difference between your and Steve Pavlina's website(s) is that yours are primarily made you want to make money. Steve Pavlina's websites (at least the biggest part of his contents) are made because he wants to share his experiences and ideas with other people so they can benefit from his energy and knowledge. After visiting your blog and reading your message I'm sure it would do you good if you read Steve's articles again or maybe you should listen to something like "The Strangest Secret" or "The Science of Personal Achievement". If think your websites are not attracting "enough" traffic, chances are they simply don't contain enough useful and valuable content. Any website always attracts as much traffic as it contains useful content. It's as simple as that. No SEO or advertising will change this law of success.

| The biggest thing you need is patience. You can work full-time on building traffic and have the best content, but for most people traffic will grow way slower than they'd like. Even among the few blogs that seemingly 'blow up' overnight, it's not something that happens in a week, and there's still a long ways to go from 'blowing up' and getting a rank of 70,000 in three months, to getting traffic to an under 10000 Alexa rating. You gotta think in terms of months, quarters, and years, not days or weeks. It's the way things are, even the best ideas take a while to reach everyone. There are tons of hugely popular blogs and sites out there that I've never even heard of. If I haven't heard of them yet, imagine how hard it is for a little site to get going. |

| I think that the best way to get and gain traffic is to never give up and to experiment a lot. Building traffic takes time, hard work and a lot of determination. Even though Steve´s example of building and monetizing a high traffic website is absolutely remarkable and very impressive you should aim a little lower. Even Steve set his primary goal to earn $3000/month. Little steps for little feets. Get the thing rollin'. After you have build momentum you can aim for that extra money. Good luck!

| Renee is absolutely right.... Building traffic takes time. What's fascinating is studying sites with really high volume traffic....that continue to grow by leaps and bounds year after year. As you can imagine so does their sales volume each year. What comes to mind is.... Where were all of these new unique visitors and sales back in the start up phase? How could a site have 15,000....30,000 or 50,000 visitors per month, when in the beginning there were very few? It all comes down to ranking in search engines, giving away free content, optimizing pay per click, having articles in syndication etc.....all of which take time. So good luck and persevere! Robert
