[HELP] how to take advantage of >>>[[[Reported by Members as Spam Site]]]<<< (newbie)

[vitalpart]

I'm very new to internet marketing and still working my way around it.

So far I am using free web hosts and free domain names. I made blogs with WordPress
and Blogger to practice with but my problem is traffic. On WordPress I use all in one seo
pack although I don't see much progress. For Blogger, I left it as it is, I have no idea
how to improve its traffic.

I would appreciate a lot if someone could guide me how to improve site ranking and traffic?
All I've picked up so far (for WordPress anyways) is to use seo plugins, xml sitemaps, friendly images, pings,
and use of twitterfeed. I've been seeing the use of backlinks but I don't know what's it about and how to use backlinks?

I have not put any ads yet as besides from adsense and amazon I don't know what other alternatives are
trustworthy. Could anyone recommend what are the best ads that pay to display?
Sorry for I don't know the term for it, based on my findings bidvertiser, CPM Leader and refban are good?

I've seen a lot post regarding >>>[[[Reported by Members as Spam Site]]]<<<, and atm I'm just earning minutes.
I want to ask knowledgeable members what are the best ways to take advantage of >>>[[[Reported by Members as Spam Site]]]<<< earn money?
Is upgrading to >>>[[[Reported by Members as Spam Site]]]<<< premium a must?

I read posts that uses >>>[[[Reported by Members as Spam Site]]]<<<:
- with bubblenews.com but I've been researching a lot is saying it's a scam.
- URL shorteners recommended ones are Short.est and [Reported by Members as SPAM THREAD]. I've heard adfocus is a scam.
- last is to point it your site, but mine has no ads so I'm not yet so leaning towards it.

Hope to hear your answers. I'll give reps where credit is due.
