Ive recently created a wordpress blog, and I was trying to increase my hits by spending as little money as possible. I have used a free backlink tool to help so far. I was looking for more ideas to gain hits and get a higher rank. I have been researching on the forum for quite some time now, and found the backlink tool on here. Once I get enough hits, how can i monetize that website? Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks

theres tons of ways to monetize

adsense
cpa
banner ads
content lockers

just to name a few.

And to get more traffic, try investing in a tool like BMD. It took me a bit but I can generate laser targeted traffic with bmd but you need to blast it everyday

To gain free hits with no tricks, writing more content is your best bet and will stand the test of time.

Adding more pages to your site improves the site's overall pagerank.

Take 15 mins to hand write a new post every morning, your visits and page views will increase daily.

Then use the blackhat underneath.
