You will need:

1 A website already built and optimized for search engine traffic.
2 A list of your top 5 keywords, key phrases relating to your website content.
3 A clear head.

Step 1 - Content bait

First of all take 5 of your most popular keywords or key phrases and create 5 article titles from them. For example if my keywords are telephone, television, computer, camera and printer, my article titles could be:

How to use a telephone
How to use a television
How to use a computer
How to use a camera
How to use a printer

Of course you should be more original than this using your own keywords but you get the idea. Now that you have your article titles, you now need to write a brief article for each title. It doesn't need to be the best article in the world, just make sure that its original. Around three paragraphs for each article is good. Try to use as many of your keywords or phrases in the article content as possible but don't over do it to the extent that the article doesn't make sense.

Step 2 - Blogs
Now that you have Your five articles ready, Select the one that you think is the best and most relevant to your website and put it to one side, we will come back to that one later. We now need to create a couple of blog accounts to house our articles.First of all visit blogger.com and create an account using one of your most popular keywords.. for example if your keyword is hippopotamus, make sure your blog url is hippopotamus.blogspot.com or my-hippopotamus.blogspot.com. Take the time to modify your new blog a little, create an introduction post, change the template, put a bit information in the profile, that sort of thing. Once your blog is looking ok, its time to post two of your four articles on your blog. Remember I told you to use as many keywords as possible in your blog. Before submitting your post, convert a couple of these keywords to links to your website.Again, don't over do it and try to link to seperate, relevant pages on your website, not just the homepage. Once your done and your blogspot blog is published on the web its time to move on to the next one. Visit wordpress.com, get another blog containing your keyword and repeat the steps for your other two articles.

Step 3 - The fifth article
So now you have two blogs all setup and ready to send you traffic but what about that fifth article I told you to put to one side earlier. Lets get that one out there too. We are now going to submit your fifth article to some of the many article directories out there. Now you of course you could do this manually but I've found the best solution is to use one of the many article submitters that are now available. Simply search google for "free article submitter" and Im sure you will find one.

Make sure to fill in all the forms accurately and thoughtfully. The objective is to get your article published so don't scrimp on the description etc.

Step 4 - Nudge the robots
The next step is to tell all the search engine robots about your blog. There are literally hundreds of these so called ping services out there but for this article I'm only going to use only one because thats really all you need to begin with. Visit pingomatic.com and enter the information for both of your blogs.

Again remember to enter your information carefully and accurately.

Step 5 - Quit
No I don't mean quit, I mean QU.I.T. Quit is a tool developed by Eli at bluehatseo.com.You can find a link to the tool in the header on the blog. He wont tell anybody exactly what it does but I can assure you it works. Again make sure you fill in all the information about your two blogs correctly before you click submit. Only click submit once, the tool can take about 20 seconds to work so be patient.If you have some spare time read the rest of Elis blog too because I can assure you, you will find lots of useful information on there. Also Donate if you have some spare cash.

Step 6 - Directories, Directories, Directories
If you have completed the first six steps completely and properly it shouldn't be more than 24 hours before your website is indexed by google, Yahoo and some of the other search engines. So what do you do while you are waiting? Directories my friend. Alot of so called seo experts say that submitting your website to directories is no longer worth the hassle but don't listen to them. Any inbound link you can get to your website, no matter what the quality is worth its weight in gold. If you take your time and submit your website to the correct category of directories I can assure you it will increase the amount of bot visits and indeed user visits to your website. You can find a huge list of directories on my website at the Large list of directories page. Take your time to pick the best ones to suit your website.

Step 7 - Link Exchanging
Finally as an extra step to getting your website indexed you should try asking other webmasters to exchange links with you. There are literally hundreds of link building companies and services out there or you could visit forums such as the Link Exchange Forum and post your link exchange request in the correct topic.

Following the above steps is a sure fire way to getting your website indexed very quickly and hopefully well on you way to making your first sale.
