Trolling is probably the least profitable method of driving traffic, most likely because he has no definite direction - but it depends on what you sell. As an example, this method can lead to a "free for all" link lists, free indexing of major search engines and, of course, an area with limited traffic such as Yahoo and MSN groups or even Usenet. Can not say that it is not profitable, it all depends mostly on what you sell and how.
