    Keep adding content and links daily. Be a doer, not a dreamer.

    Never give up, always keep on doing what you do no matter what your friends, family or colleagues think of you.

    Even when you fail, get over it and make sure you don't fail a second time!

    Always keep on going!!!!

    That's what made me better than my competitors. Where they stopped, I kept on going and eventually I found success!

    Create one or two pages of keyword-rich, original content every few days

    Find niche directories to submit my site to

    Create and submit articles and post them to the article sites

    With Site Build It, that's all I've really needed to think about ;)

    Make a site. Build a list of interested people. Send them all an email. Works like charm for forums.

    I have written and posted about 5 articles throughout the net.
    I have came of with a pretty net strategy in achieving linking to pages with high PR
    I am doing some other stuff too. I have not yet got into adsense.. I still feel that there may be a better way to advertise.

    This is my forth try at it.. An I must say, I pretty much got it to gather. I was able to get my site at PR2 at the first google refresh, but I am still averaging only 10 visitors per day... I think I have to rethink or revise my content or keywords.

    link exchange
    siggy links
    sticky notes above toilets in public urinals with your website address on them

    all these strategies have worked...
    the 3rd one working the best (maybe, I don't have any way to track users that get referred by a toilet)

    OK, everyone. I understand I have to know my product and my market.. But like most people and I am pretty sure you had asked the same question when you got started. And that question is, what is he/she doing to gain success? I ask this question daily, I am not trying to get a quick secrete, I just want to now if I am on the right path. I know everything does not work for everyone.. But at least it may give you an idea. So, in saying that, I just wanted people to post the steps they took to make their site successful

    I developed articles around my keyword, moving boxes. I then submitted to www.amazines.com and www.goarticles.com. In those days, goarticles will publish immediately. I did that each week and enjoyed direct visits from those who read my articles. Later, I gained passive links.I also had visits from other sites where my articles had been published via rss.
