There are millions of sites competing for any given keyword. You may be in, but it could be at the bottom of the dogpile.

Getting into any of the search engines is good. It's a start, but there is much work to be done to get your online business upfront where searchers will begin to see it, and you start getting any meaningful traffic.

Forget about turnkey websites. These people pump out many websites that are exactly alike. This makes them impossible to promote to search engines. The content is all the same. The only way to succed with these it to pour money into paid advertising.

If they were so easy to promote and so profitable, why wouldn't the creators just buy a gazillion domain names and make all the money themselves? Because it is costly to be successful if you have to rely solely on paid advertising.
