Brandon,
I think I can help. Do you have money to spend on getting traffic to your website? If not, the only other way is to learn the "ropes" in getting free traffic. Traffic Exchanges, Safelists both require time to learn navigation skills as well as learning each individual free traffic sites process involved for trading clicks on others sites for clicks on your site. I think there is alot of debate going on right now about what it takes to accomplish good results from free traffic. Hope this sheds a little light on the topic, I am in the process Myself. Good luck Brandon, Perseverance is Required. Don
