By "personal SFI website," I'm assuming you mean "a website you have built to promote SFI to friends and strangers alike." Now, to make any website effective, you need three things:
1) Content that interests your audience,
2) Ways to encourage your audience to return to your website, and
3) Links that take your audience where you want them to go.
"Content that interests your audience" is most likely going to focus on one or more of the interests you share with your audience. I'm a big fan of games, for example, so I might write articles on favorite board and card games and throw concepts up for discussion. "Ways to encourage your audience to return to your website" are going to take the forms of discussion groups, mailing lists, and autoresponders. You have to keep your audience engaged or they will lose interest. "Links that take your audience where you want them to go" include advertising that promotes TripleClicks and/or SFI as well as links WITHIN your content that promote specific aspects of these. For example, I sell a card game I designed myself on TripleClicks; it's only natural that when this comes up in an article, I will include a link directly to my ECA store so they can buy it.
The better you can provide those three things, the more effective your website will become.
