    I wouldn't throw any in the trash. SEO is fairly long-term unless you are in a very small niche. Generally, even then, you will have to work on building your backlinks over time to get ranked high and respected by Google.

    Social Networking and email marketing still have their value even if you're focusing a lot of effort on SEO. Neither one really take a ton of time. They are all about building relationships and that can earn you more money in the long run if people are talking about your products.

    I guess though if you are looking for just one, I would do SEO if I had a good looking website.

    The 'best' is relative to your market and their habits, needs, wants, etc. However, if you're going to employ email marketing, you need a way to get people to sign up for your list, so you'll need SEO, social marketing, advertising, or a combination of all of the above to use email marketing.

    Email marketing and social marketing are personal whereas SEO is not. You'll likely enjoy greater conversions using these two methods if you're doing the right thing with the right group, but they're all important and they can all be very useful together so long as you use them properly.

    In a roundabout way I'm saying that email and social marketing can produce better results (due to personalization), but SEO for a good product / service / website can be well-worth the effort, too.

    I prefer to choose SEO.This is basic and also the important in a long view.But if you want a quickest way to
    promote,why not try ppc.Make a budget and then use ads to promote your business.

    Hello,

    I would say that concentrating all your efforts into one is a mistake which is commonly made by Marketers. In order to ultilise your avenues you must first analyse your market and create a mixed marketing communications that uses the appriopraite avenues, this creates synergy and a clear vision for your objectives.

    Age old saying but fail to plan and plan to fail. Investigate your options and create a plan to stick too.
