A month is nothing in this business, or any internet based business for that matter. It can take several months just to get a listing in some search engines/directories. If you work it hard, building 3-4 free sites per week, and submitting every day to 2 or 3 tiers of link lists, you will start to see traffic building up in 2-6 months. It takes time.... and a lot of very hard work. Search engine traffic is also very slow.
You mentioned you have built several free sites... examples? What lists are you submitting to? Many of the LLs listed on this board are quite newbie friendly. Many of the people giving pointers are LL owners and freesite builders themselves. Read.. learn.. Hit some of the other boars. Jump in and chat.. become known. We don't bite unless you ask us to. Work on building freesites and submitting those sites to the various link lists. Joe Blow Surfer sees your site listed, comes over and visits.. maybe likes what he sees. One of your main page link-outs could be a link to your portal.. and a way for people to find you.
Portal sites by themself are almost unlinkable -- you have no real content because you are just the central hub. So, you must bring them to you in other ways.
