I’ve been doing this websites thing for almost 1 year. So what kind of advice do I have for people in the same boat as me?
I know everyone says this, but I will try to elaborate a little on what it actually means (to me at least).
Find a niche! Now, that doesn’t JUST mean make a website that doesn’t have much competition and you’ll have success. Even niches have a lot of competition, because everyone has the same idea as you!
The most important thing is to understand your audience and even more important is to find them where most (or few) other people are looking. For example, everyone thinks that Google is the only search engine. Of course, if you think this, that is just ignorant (probably not your fault, this is what most people think). Google is extremely popular. But this is a bad thing, because people know this and that means you are going to have a great amount of competition.

The big secret to running successful websites is simple – keep up with the trends. You may think that Facebook and Twitter are stupid (I agree), but if you embrace the social networking phenomenon, it can be a very very powerful marketing tool.
Twitter is easy!
If you haven’t heard of it, it’s basically the status update thing from Facebook, in a standalone form. The great thing about Twitter is you don’t need to write an essay. 140 characters and you are done. So basically, you write what you are currently doing / looking at and maybe a link (which gets automatically tinyurled).
Like any website promotion like this, make sure you keep your profile / page updated. At least once a week, make an effort. Check out a few other people’s pages, make a few comments, become part of the community.

Sick of having to manually submit your article to hundreds of article directories to get anywhere? How long does that usually take you? Maybe a few hours to find and submit to 50?
I stumbled upon this article distribution service offered by iSnare a few months ago and wasn’t too sure that it was going to do anything, but for $10, thought there wasn’t much to loose. Turns out that it was worth the money! It’s how I got my PR 1 for Cash’s Blog. Not massive, but for a couple of dollars, very much worth it!

Hi there fellow SEOers!
It’s hard to find a good list of directories with high enough PageRank to make it worth your while. But today, I stumbled upon a free web submission, that just happens to have a list of the top directories/directories, based on Alexa rank and PageRank.
I’ve spent the last 4 hours submitting to these websites. We’ll see the results in the next 6 months 
The website is:
http://www.freewebsubmission.com/
Keep it in your bookmarks! Also, I suggest doing the free submission too. But use a secondary address, as they’ll probably send you a whole heap of spam.
Happy SEOing!

Started your own website and realised it’s not the cheap, easy way to make money you thought? Well you can either start crying and give up or you can start doing some actual work.
It’s not easy to get the ball rolling (and get consistent hits to your website). If you are ready to do a bit of work for your future, read on. Otherwise, get back to the softcore porn you found on MySpace.
There are many many ways to promote your website. Some are more effective than others. Some are more costly that others. The most effective are free, but time consuming. You could pay someone to do it for you, but this is also expensive.
