make a residual profit. There are 2 main ways to get the traffic you need to make money from your web sites. You can either use pay per click advertising or get indexed by search engines and get free traffic.
If you use pay per click advertising through Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing, or MSN AdCenter you'll get instant traffic as long as your site doesn't violate their Terms Of Service. The downside is that you'll have to pay whatever your keyword bids are every time somebody decides to click on your PPC advertisements. PPC advertising is getting more and more expensive due to competition, and if the ads on your site don't convert at a high rate you'll have a tough time returning a worthy profit.
If you can get indexed by the major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN you'll potentially get free traffic to your web site if you get high rankings for your sites main keywords. This will obviously give you a lot of potential profit since you won't have to pay every time somebody clicks on your site.
One way to get indexed by the search engines is to submit your site to them. When you submit your sites to Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. they'll review your site and may put it in their search results. It can take a long time (as much as 6 months) before these major search engines even look at your site, with so many sites submitting to them on a daily basis. Even when your site eventually gets reviewed there's no guarantee that you'll get indexed.
The fastest way to get indexed by the major search engines is to get links to your site from other sites that are already indexed. Sites that are already in a search engines index get crawled by them regularly and will follow the link to your site, which should get it indexed. In the eyes of Google, it's even better if you get a links from a site with a high PageRank. sites with a high PageRank get crawled by Googles search engine spiders more often and having a link from one of those high PR sites directed to your site could get it indexed in Google in less than a week. You'll want to get as many links as you can from high PR sites to give you a better chance at getting your site indexed quickly and possibly getting decent search engine rankings right away.
There are a few ways to get links to your site from other sites. You can buy links from sites that offer a link for a price, ask another site owner to add a link from their site to your site (you'll likely have to exchanges links), or get one way links to your site by submitting articles with links to your site to article directories and posting small article snippets on blogs that don't have a 'no follow' tag. Buying links can be expensive and is being frowned upon by the major search engines. Link exchanges can work well but are also losing their value by the search engines because one-way links look better to them. The best thing you can do to get your site indexed quickly is with one-way links from article directories and blog posts. There are a lot of article directories online where you can submit articles to. To find blogs without a 'no follow' tag you could join Article Underground, which has over 30 high PageRank blogs you can post on and link to your sites.
Getting your site indexed by the search engines is only the first step in getting free traffic to your sites. Once your site is indexed you'll need to use some search engine optimization to get high rankings.
