first of all you need a great and useful product, then you need to generate targeted traffic, you need targeted traffic. It's no good getting thousands of hits to your site if those hits are un-targeted hits or software generated. This will only dig into your bandwidth (some webhosts have a bandwidth restriction) so you need targeted traffic - from real visitors that are some bit interested in what you have to offer. Don't depend on the "ClickTraffic" methods to generate sales, this will only get you hits, most of the time. You need real interested visitors.
