    1. Market Research
    2. Find a Niche
    3. Keyword Research
    4. Develop a "Plan of attack" and set goals
    5. Develop Content (Lot's of it)
    6. Develop Links (Lot's of it)
    7. Monetize (Sweetest Part )
    8. Optimize and Develop "Plan of attack v.2"

    It is a very competitive market with google adsense.

    But good niche and content will drive to your site. Perhaps a little advertisement to ramp up traffic in the beginning.

    The best way to get traffic is to get links by:
    Submitting articles, commenting on blogs, submitting to directories and be active on forums.

    You must setup your website with a goal of providing quality content in the first place, not making money. The best advice I can give is the following: choose a subject that you are genuinely interested in, and write content about it. Don't think about monetizing it until you have a decent traffic base. If you write poor content and stuff ads all over the place, you will not succeed. Your primary goal must be to setup a decent website about your niche, not make money. Think long term.

    You should focus on SEO. Remember that there is no easy way to get money online.

    I would set up a website geared towards something you enjoy. A hobby or something like that. To be successful you're going to need content. If you don't enjoy it then it's going to be boring to add content and your quality is going to suffer also.

    Then start developing an SEO plan to get your content out there and seen. Track your stats and make adjustments depending on what is working and not.

    There is no easy way to get money indeed. But I've been online to 10 years now and have good traffic has been a long road. I believe the best way to earn money online with a website now is:

    1. Think about your subject something that you really love to write about and that you know a lot about
    2. Consider carefully your website address, make sure you put your keywords in a carefully
    3. After you set up your website fill it with lots of lots of content. Don't even think of promoting the website until you've got the structure of the website, meaning the links structure and at least 10 pages of content set up
    4. Optimized that content as well as you can
    5. Make sure you include site maps
    6. Get the Google account and become a member of website tools submit your website
    7. Start submitting your website to different search engines and directories
    8. Wait
    9. Add more content and optimize
    10. Post on forums and Blogs
    11. Try everything to get more traffic
    12. Advertise
    13. Wait
    14. Continue promoting your website and adding content.
    15. Write articles and submit them to directories
    16. Find affiliate programs which match your content and put text links inside your articles and inside your content.
    17. When you finally begin to see an increase in traffic, start building a list and create a newsletter for it providing more valuable content for your visitors
    18. Keep doing whatever you can to improve traffic, expand and improve your website and get involved in social networks and then the sky's the limit

    The major problem is impatience at the start because it takes a long time to get significant traffic. Hope this helps but the leave me affiliate marketing is the way to go.

    I'd say definitely stay away from Adsense unless you've got targeted traffic in thousands to your website. The best way to make money online is through Affiliate Marketing. It makes Adsense look like chump change...

    Try a bunch of different things and find what works for you. When you first start it's always tough but as you learn little tricks and find things that work focus your attention on that.

    Unless you have a good niche, earning through adsense will take a long time. You have to build traffic first before adsense picks up. Try different methods. If one method works, well and good. Continue doing it. And if it doesn't, drop it and move on to the next.

    Set up niche blog network then build SEO for that sites until reaching strong PR. After that you can earn money for selling link. That would be easy to earn at least $100 a month. A part of that dont forget to add adsense ads and promote affiliate product because it will diversify your income.

    Earning money from website is one option: there are other ways via which you can make money online. For example: you can do online jobs at freelance sites. These jobs include data entry, programming, coding, copywriting etc.

    "I need to know what will drive visitors in and what you guys think I should forcus more on"

    If you want to go with website business, then you have to add lot of useful content in your site plus you will need to build relevant backlinks. This will help your site to get well ranked in SEs which will give you lot of traffic.
