Monetize your web presence - part 4

Driving traffic to your site

1. Submit your site to the major search engines.
http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
http://search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx
http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html

2. Tell your friends and family about your site. Make it easy for them by writing an email with the web address included. I use a word of the day email that is "sponsored" by one or two of my web pages.

3.Link and be linked. It is commonly held that linking to popular sites can increase your Google page rank. Getting linked can be a bit tougher. Many sites recommend commenting on blogs while leaving your web address. I've just started trying this...I'll let you know my thoughts if and when I see some results.

I wish I could say that now you sit back and wait for the checks to arrive...but I have not cashed a check yet, although I am slowly earning and hope to have at least one check by Christmas...so I keep researching and looking for a better way.

Don't worry when I come up with a better way I will share it right here.
