I have one site and it is not getting traffic. I purchased it from someone on another forum and he told me that it has some traffic. I am not seeing any traffic and I am also not getting money from adsense. I asked others and was told I need to do SEO for it. I also checked search engines but I am confused about it. I don't want to be number one in google, yahoo and msn I just want some traffic so that I can run my website and get some money to support myself and go to school. Can anyone give me some easy way to get the traffic to my site? Also please give me some guidelines to earn more from adsense.
