    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...

    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.

    I love PPC because it forces me to focus on my metrics and it's instant traffic (most of the time).

    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.
