I own and operate two sites for fun. If possible I may be able to get a business' to place ad's on my site. Like I said these sites are for fun not profit. I want to get more members though. How do I get my sites to pull in more members with search engines. Are there any tricks you could show an average person to make their site more visible. I have been able to figure out quite a bit from hands on experience as far as operating the sites goes. I thought it might be more than I could handle but sar far so good. Thanks ahead of time for any help you may be able to give.
Thanks again

Good quality content (text) that is unique and is interesting to visitors.

Make sure your sites are submitted to all relevant directories, consider maybe paying for getting in Yahoo! (299$/year). Publish press releases about your sites. Make contacts with relevant sites / especially blogs - make some deals to get the word out about you, etc;)
