Let me start first. SEO works best for me. The new google updates stopped some of the traffic, that was coming to my site. How I deal with it? Starting new sites, branding them and keep doing it as a real company, not a spammer and webmaster with no idea what is marketing.

And for me SEO is the best way to promote. Social networks like facebook, g+, twitter are also good but their audience opens your link only in small amount of time until the next is shared. Advertising in ad networks such an adwords is also good but when the campaign is over the trafic drops down dramaticly. The SEO trafik doesn't over until google penaltise you, which is very comon situation. This is one of the biggest disadvantages of SEO as way to prromote something. It is also verry expensive but the trafic is worth it.

My best strategies are strongly connected to: SEO, PPC, Social. I believe most of you will agree with me, well, some of the people will also add mail marketing, app. developing, and so on.

With the time I see that most targeted and wanted traffic is still in SEs. No other will give the conversion you need. Even some of the most popular and modern social media sites could not.

More sales - SEs, with means that you should think about SEO all the time.

The best channels that work for me SEO, PPC, Social.

Social is the worst channel I have been using, but a huge part of the traffic is there. Buying bulk traffic is not working for me, unless you promote free stuff. The only way to get any benefits from bulk traffic is to offer them free things and after that selling something, that might be interested in.

SEO is a slow and long term process, as far as Google allows you to stay on top positions.

The fastest and most effective method is PPC. But PPC in SEs that have quality traffic.
