1.List building 2. SEO sites and PPC share the second spot, and you'd build a list on those visitors if you want to. 3. Bum Marketing - this is included in the SEO spot above for getting backlinks, but I guess it works on its own. In MY opinion that is. Try some stuff, see what works for you, there's no other way of knowing.
Articles are a great promotional tool (I.E they help you get the word out about whatever you want) but the fact is that you should be building a "business" behind those articles. Too many people just start posting hundreds of articles with no idea about what they're going to do with them!
x1000000000000 List building - if done properly, could eventually start scoring millions for you - so could SEO. However both strategies take lots of time to build and start making good money off of it. PPC could be very profitable but it always requires money. No money - no advertising.
PPC is the best, but you have to be creative, and not try to do exactly what everyone else is doing, or you will end up broke.
