Backlinks & JV Giveaways theres no better way to build your list. It's always good to have a Squeeze Page as your index too. Ray
articles and blogs I have found that blogs get indexed fast in the search engines and will get a high page rank if there isnt a lot of websites dominating the keywords Same with articles, but it takes longer
Best marketing way is getting backlinks and some articles but i think as many backlinks you get, you get more traffic customers attention. its best way to go every where.
What do you mean with articles? Article marketing? Well, it could be good for you if you SEO your articles but if not, article marketing is almost useless, except for health niches. For me, SEO is still the best marketing method, whatever your form is. Adwords can also boom your traffic but consider the price.
if u r talking about just promoting a site in terms of traffic and not sales of a product it would be giving away freebies like free software to market your site..google's traffic is still number1 though i get it from barely doin nothin except for relevant keywords,using sitemaps...optimizinl little things for seo which matter a lot..
I think we must try to really know. I feel article marketing is good since its free and no need to do seo.
Seo,and ppc mostly I've just recently started marketing via Squidoo lens' and am seeing some excellent results
