I own and operate two sites for fun. If possible I may be able to get a business' to place ad's on my site. Like I said these sites are for fun not profit. I want to get more members though. How do I get my sites to pull in more members with search engines. Are there any tricks you could show an average person to make their site more visible. I have been able to figure out quite a bit from hands on experience as far as operating the sites goes. I thought it might be more than I could handle but sar far so good. Thanks ahead of time for any help you may be able to give.

Thanks again

There are no tricks, unless you want to get banned from the search engines.

If you are looking at a long term relationship with them you have to play by the rules.

Ranking is pretty simple.

If you want to rank for the term 'loans' then you better get your wallet out as this is what is called a competitive term.

If you want to rank for say 'home loans for homeowners' then this is easier but yields less traffic.

You want to have your chosen keywords in your title, meta description and on your page a few times, don't over do it. Then you need to get other websites to link to you with your keywords in the anchor text like below.

home loans for homeowners

That's essentially the basics.

If you want to pull members from SEO first your site must be visible from SEO's. You can target a particular keywords and optimize your site on it. You can learn a lot from these forum on how to do that but it takes time.
I also suggest you a site called <Link Removed>, This site can help you a lot..

We don't allow more then one user account or spammers.

Nice try.
