    I think using a combination of online and offline promoting is the most effective.

    Spread the love and try a mix of things such as, social networking, media, promotional products, word of mouth and email marketing.

    Also, doing what you are doing here (posting on forums) can be a very effective way of promoting your online business. Find a forum that caters to your industry and build a presence there. You can also go the route of affiliates (paying others to promote your business) if you want to make things easier without running at a financial loss or spending a lot of time on promotions.

    In my opinion get good, stable search engine rankings - it will take a while and you need some time and patience but you will get traffic guaranteed each and every day for your chosen keywords, if you can make money from PPC etc good luck to you, i find SE rankings much more profitable in the longer term

    Daily I face clients who are looking for instant results in this space. If it was this easy, every Tom, Dick and Harry would have been Internet millionare.

    SEO is not a short-term strategy, It is surely not a one time deal. It’s on-going efforts that drives users and success to your site.

    Social bookmarking and article submission should drive some traffic to your site. both of them are great source of traffic with article submission converting more than bookmarking. however, this traffic will be instant and short lived. for long term traffic, you will need to continue your link building. just one time article submisison and social bookmarking will not rank any site well for competitive terms. do some of the link building yourself and keep building links as much as you can. most people fail or give up because they dont stick with it. SEO is a long term game and you need to have patience if you want to see some result


    Quality Content
    Inbound LinksGoogle Buzz
    YouTube Marketing via Social media Networking

    Let’s re-visit how to get backlinks?
    -web directories
    -do follow forum signature
    -article directories
    -squidoo and hub pages
    -blogger
    -wordpress.com
    -blog posting/commenting
    -reciprocal linking
    -paid links

    Do all these for well rounded results

    Here are 3 additional ways to build backlinks:
    Generating traffic to a new or even older websites can be a hefty job if you don’t know the secrets that successful webmasters carry underneath their selves. There are various ways to get more traffic to your site and one of them is through building back links.

    Not just those poor quality back links that most newbies do get but the high quality ones that would help your website go from at the bottom list to be number one in Google and creating thousands of unique visits to your site every day.

    There are link building services available right on the Internet that promises you 1,000 back links within 3 hours. The trade that takes SEO experts months and months even years to formulate in order to generate traffic can now be done within 3 hours? It’s impossible! For sure it is done through an automated system, this is not the back links you do want coming from websites which do not have any other relation to your business whatsoever.

    However, there are still ways where you can get high quality back links as enumerated:

    1. Article Writing:
    It is the trend nowadays to write an article or have someone to write for you. After which, submit an article to directories and put in the link to your website in the resource box. When the reader wants to get more information regarding what you are talking about in your article, he or she will just click to the link right in your resource.

    2. Buy a spot. This simply means you find blogs or website that is quite related to your business and ask them to add you in their blog roll for blogs and have an ad on websites.

    3. Create a directory. This can be full of hassle of rejecting and approving sites that are being submitted. But hey, you can dig a few gold right here. This is a way where you can create a reciprocal link to a website. It’s like a trade. A website will be submitted into your directory to have a spot under certain category, then in return for that spot such website will then place your link into their site. This is what you call reciprocal link.

    These 3 ways mentioned are proven to be effective and did the trick for some webmasters using a combination of 2 or even these three can be a great help to your website.

    Whoever mentioned a Squidoo lens it correct. They are really quick to do and offer a nice free advert.

    Actually social network works for social products only. It does not work for software or related service or products. So the idea about facebook or twitter would be the last of the last. I should say you shoudl concentrate on your content and links.
