    The simplest and most effective way is to write articles targeting low competition keywords in order to bring in traffic. It can be a pain, but it always works.

    Buddy, it's hard to answer your question. I'm doing very well with CPA using paid traffic and I know quite a few affiliates making 4 figures a day using PPC, PPV and media buys. However, it doesn't mean that you should use the same approach for your own business.

    I think that the most effective way you have to find the righ traffic generation strategies is by spying on your competitors. Find similar sites and analyze them with tools like Alexa and Compete. These tools will give you things like audience (demographics, useful to find sites to advertise on), traffic volume (the higher the more profitable site probably is) and clickstream (where people go before and after visitng the site). This information will help you decide on what traffic sources to use.

    Facebook is pretty hot at the moment.

    You can find facebook ppc vouchers pretty cheap here on dp in buy and sell.

    Perhaps have your own facebook fans page ?

    Just a suggestion.

    Most of my promoting is talking to the community of my genre/community and show them what I'm going to offer them.

    There are many ways so don't go with one. Use each and every method to promote your business. Classifieds, directories and posting forums are some popular ways to promote your business.

    Other than it you should have good, simple but attractive site that fulfill your customers needs.

    Adwords, banner ads, PPC. All of these cost a lot, nowadays website promotion is getting tough and costly. If you work hard, then you may cut cost. Post links in forums and blogs.

    In my signature, I have a report that describes 35 methods... I have used 31 of them...

    My most effective include: article marketing, press releases, forum marketing, guest blogging, social media marketing, blog comments, etc.

    Paid methods come to mind as well, but you must be more careful to track and review your results, to make sure that the methods you are using actually provide a solid ROI to you...

    You should work out a marketing plan - how to promote your online business. One effective promoting method will not be enough.

    I can honestly tell you that the best and most effective promotional method is article marketing because it can build a great reputation for your business. It can also drive you consistent traffic that you need to find your site online and the products/services that you offer.

    I've always been a stark believer that online companies in general don't interact enough in the real world. Promotional Products with 2D barcode readers finally bridges that gap, and if you gave out 10,000 promotional items to your target market in a direct mail campaign, that might be a great idea! Here's a video that proves promotional products are the lowest cost per impression in the advertising industry!
