Hi Donna
The truth is, no matter which method (or combination of methods) you use, it will take time to setup and time to see the results ...
When it comes to free traffic, there are no truly free lunches ... if you don't pay in $$$, you pay with your time ...
But for what it's worth, here's my opinion ...
SEO: Onpage factors (that is things like keyword density, etc.) aren't worth much these days ...
The classic example is: goto Google and type in the word "computer" (without quotes) ... what's the number one ranked site? Go to the site and count how many times the word "computer" is on it ... I bet it's less then 5 ...
The reason Apple is number one is that is has (according to my Google Toolbar) 74,400 links pointing to it ... which also gives the homepage a PageRank of 10 ...
Backlinks are one of the most important things you can use to not only get traffic to your site, but to also boost pages on your site in the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) ...
To get started I would concentrate on a two pronged attack:
1) Hire a ghostwriter to create 10 500 word articles on your subject (mine charges around $8/500 words). Submit 3 to the various article directories and add the other 7 as either content pages on your website or setup as a 7-part autoresponder to capture people's details so you end up building a list of targeted prospects which you can follow up with ...
2. Get hold of a piece of software that will allow you to automate acquiring backlinks to your site.
I recommend using something like Tetra Links (URL below) which will allow you to not only build a targeted link directory automatically but will also maintain it by checking sites are still linking back ...
There are a lot more functions on it, and let's face it - the price is right (FREE!) [grin]
Whatever you do, don't try to do everything at once ... Just break it down into bite sized chunks and do a little every day ... sooner or later, you'll get it all done and you'll be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour ...
I hope that's been helpful ...
Cheers
Nick :o)
