    I finished my first site about a month ago, I wrote a couple articles and submitted it to a couple directories. I still have no page rank and only make
    like 10-20 cents a day off the site...

    heres what i dont understand....
    My site is www.best-diet-4-life.com

    if you search google for.. "best diet for life" boom my site shows up on the first page #7

    but...
    If you search for ... best diet for life (without the " " ) then my site dont even show up within the first 30 or so pages i looked through.

    Im pretty much stumpted on what to do from here... I emailed 50 sites for backlinking- yeah right - seems impossible.

    What should i do from here???

    I try to add new content once a week but doesnt seem to help yet, am i what you guys call sandboxed or what? Any help is appreciated!!!

    Your site is too new to see the results you want. Google update their PageRank every 3-4 months so you wont see any more change for another couple of months.

    As position in results. Google is about maturing & trusting a site - this could take 3 - 6 months to really have a site well positioned for a bunch of keywords.

    Your wasting time with link exchange requests when you could be doing other SEO stuff like tweaking your pages. Also market your site via niche related forums and blogs. Get to know other webmasters covering the same niche and if they see something they like they'll probably pass over a link or two.

    The great thing about blogs is how easily they can actually rank in Google giving you more time to write better content and socialise with other bloggers on the same topic.

    Just keep posting in the forums, rotate your presence on each one on conversations you can add too. Don't forget about the bloggers. Go out and find people who blog about your niche and add their RSS feed to Google Reader. When you see a post that you can contribute to with some value then leave a comment. Over time those bloggers will come to know you and possibly read your blog and linking to it. The more comments you leave on those blogs you follow the more links you'll get pointing to your site - in turn giving you more power in the Search Engines.

    Personally I don't promote via submitting articles. I prefer to use as much content as possible on my own site.

    You will need to change your signature link to include your target keywords

    In other words make your anchor be keywords and not just the url.

    Also, if you just finished this site a month ago you are doing well to have any earnings through AdSense at all, especially if those earning are consistent. As your web presence and your traffic grows so will your earnings.

    In the meantime concentrate on adding fresh unique content and keep working on those backlinks. Remember to use good keyword choice with your anchors - Very Important. Dont use the same anchors all the time, but mix them up.

    If your target keywords are best diet for life use anchors that mix these words and some that even use only one or two of them. When getiing those backlinks (directory submissions, author resource in articles, etc,) dont forget to get deep links as well as home page links. You dont want all of your backlinks pointing to the same page i.e. the home page, you need backlinks to your inner pages as well.

    Please excuse any typos as I am too lazy to proof this post tonight :D

    You should use a FireFox dictionary. Comes in very useful for forum posting. ;)

    And calm down...you have a long way to go. You will learn tons of information.
    If it were so easy to get a site ranked in a month and make money, everybody in the entire world, including my grandmother, would have a successful, money making, website.
    We would all be sitting at home. Nobody would work anywhere else. The streets would be empty.

    As you see, it's not that simple.
    You have a few hundred million sites to contend with , and thousands in your niche', many of them with very large budgets and full time SEO staff.
