If you had to rely on ONLY one source of promotion, which of the following would you choose, and why? 1) article posting/marketing 2) forum signatures 3) social bookmarking 4) link building 5) ppc 6) video marketing (you tube etc) 7) myspace/friendster 8) niche directories (not google, yahoo or msn ) 9) press releases 10) other note- I have purposefully left off seo...as it takes time and this thread is about building traffic quickly...
I like to use blogs personally, If you have the right blog with the right userbase, then your golden Just my thoughts , since you asked
If i have unlimited funds. PPC as its the easiest to implement and target your customers. Just my opinion
Since you don't have my choice. Promoting through good looking women with a bubble quote saying "I like www........com" then I would choose number 8. A lot of people say directorys don't really help but that's so not true once you do them by the thousands. They really build your site up like nothing ever.
Only one promotion method may not work effectively since online marketing is too vast so you need to combine atleast two or three method..from your list.
9. press releases The only time when my website went down was when it was in news on TV. Same goes with newspapers. Why? Everyone if aware of your presence.
