What to do?

Hey guys,
So I built two websites which where originally meant to be ranked in google but I now realize google is not the most reliable traffic source. My question is should I try and promote my website through forums and article marketing or should I just trash it and stat over?
I have spent around $1000 on both sites which is a lot of money for me.
Thanks
P.s. Any tips on getting better at writing? I live in America and have spoken English all my life so my writing is readable but not to the quality I want for my websites.
Thanks

    Michael,

    Since you already have those website up and running, I would learn how to market online with paid ads. Do this if you want faster results.

    You can never rely on the search engines for traffic. This is one of the main reasons why most people fail online.

      I agree in that you can never rely on search engines as their algorithms changes ever so often it is not possible to keep track of it all the time. Much better to have some really solid traffic sources at your disposal.

      Hope that helps.

        It is always good to have multiple streams of traffic.

        You just never know when your source will dry up.

        I would never rely on the search engines for lifetime traffic. That is just crazy.

    Yes. Never stop looking for new sources of traffic, no matter how much you are currently getting or where you're getting it from.
