Ah, the holy grail of internet marketing! "How to get traffic"!
First of all, if you are referring to your SFI affiliate link (which is therefore not YOUR SFI website per se but more of the original SFI website with your own... extension, if you will) then that specific link cannot be found (or as Google calls it, cannot "rank") in Google.
The SFI website itself already ranks in Google based on the keywords the website was originally designed with - keywords are one of the main factors in determining which websites show up in the search results whenever you type that very keyword (or something similar) into the search bar.
In order to sponsor people under you and build your downline, you'll need to promote your SFI affiliate link (not the original SFI website itself). You can find your affiliate link by clicking on the "Marketing" tab (next to "Home, Hot Spots, Income...") and then clicking on "Sponsoring". The affiliate link will be number 1 in the "Beginner Methods".
For methods on how to promote that link, just go through the very well thought-out steps on that very page - from beginner methods all the way to advanced.
However, if you are referring to your own website which you've personally designed in order to promote SFI, then, again, keywords should play a main part in how you designed that website from the start if you are aiming to rank it in Google.
Besides showing up in Google search results, you'll want to rank high (ideally as the first result on the first page as that's the website that will get the most traffic). Besides keywords, here's a very brief list of only SOME of the factors that are analyzed by Google in order to see where it ranks you in its search pages:
1. The domain name (increases rank if related to website's keywords. Example: A website about rabbits would get a higher rank in Google when people search for keyword "rabbits" if its domain name is www.rabbits.com)
2. Back-linking (basically, how many other websites are mentioning your website. The more Google-verified websites that mention you, the more you come off as "legit" to the Google engine, allowing it to rank you higher)
3. Website content (the more your keyword shows up in articles in your website, the better - unless the keyword is just being randomly spammed. A website that mentions rabbits 100 times is more likely to rank than a website that mentions rabbits 50 times when someone types "rabbits" into the Google search engine.)
Many, many other factors go into Google ranking - in fact, there are entire, in-depth courses based purely on what is called SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to teach people how to optimize their websites for high Google ranks.
Of course, you could always leave all that technical babble to specialized people by outsourcing the website creation process - many offer guaranteed Google ranks for a small fee.
Hope this makes things a little clearer -
Cheers!
