Your question is a lot like "How do I build a house?". In that case I think you know it's not realistic to get all the information you need here. I suggest you try to find someone that you can trust that does this kind of work all the time. Check your local phone book to start with or search Google or the Yahoo directory. You can also try Seopros.org and they can help you find someone.

If you want to continue on your own, you certainly can, but if will take some work and some time. I would search for information on search engine optimization or SEO and you will find a LOT of information. The most important part is to do some "keyword research" to start with. We use the free program from www.GoodKeywords.com and while there are paid services, we have had great luck with this for about 5 years.

Once you have a large list of keyword phrases, you should use them in your title, description, and keywords tags but don't overdo it. Use the same list to edit the text on your web pages. Here is one important guideline: Use as many of the keyword phrases as possible, but make sure your text is also good English. If you do that you will also be writing for your visitors as well.

We don't worry about ranking. Trying to get rankings is hard for popular terms and hard to maintain. Focus more on the "traffic" that you are getting to your site, since that is what you really want and not just rankings. Use the keyword phrases on your site that people use and you will be found and get traffic for those terms.

The other thing that is important is to submit your site to as many places as possible. You can get links from other sites, but only work to get links from sites that can also send you traffic. It's also a lot of work and may or may not help you with the search engines. We think it makes more sense to submit your site to all the search engines and directories that you can. You can do this yourself or you can hire someone to do it for you for not too much money.

I would avoid all the cheap offers that you see that sends "tons of traffic to your site". Most of these places will, but some are scams. The problem is that even the ones that send traffic, are not going to send traffic to your site that is going to do more than look once and click away unless you have nude photos or something else that people can't resist.

Good web marketing takes time, money, or both.
