Hehee. You want to take shortcuts eh? Well, in that case you need only one: find out a way to solve somebody's problem - and they will pay you That's the core of marketing.
This probably gonna need judgment from you. You have to find out whats best for your niche; sort of like trial and error.
No I don't want shortcuts. I want the ones that works best. I have read a lot of such lists and tried most that I could. But I want more traffic.
Many marketing methods will work with varying levels of success (or failure) depending on the type of business you have and it's market. There's no magic solution for everyone.
