The one that makes you the most money is the one you can work most effectively. This will vary for each person based on their specific set of skills.

I don't know but SEO is best for the long term and is the most stable imo. You can't beat free targeted search engine traffic.

PPC can send traffic but U have to be careful that they r def. becoming Ur paid customers if U r giving service or product....Else U spent money but not gain...But yes for new websites not performing in SEO, PPC is the method to get traffic..But in long term SEO is the most imp.

Thnx

I do not think you can rate them easy to hard.

Each has it moments. And all need to be combined to get where you want to be.

You need a little of each instead all of one. Putting all your eggs in one basket is dangerous, if that basket falls so do all your profits.

I don't believe that there is a way to rate it.

In my opinion it depends on what the person finds to be the most profitable and easy.

Its hard to say as there are so many variables.

One thing is for sure there are people in all of these areas making thousands every day just try them out I personally am a fan of both free and paid traffic they compliment each other for example SEO might be working well for you but why not scale your campaign to PPC, PPV etc, I personally just try get as much as possible out of every campaign I run

PPC will generally just drain a newbies bank account. Same for PPV. Unless you REALLY know what you are doing. Affiliate marketing is easy to start but difficult to excell at. SEO can work well if you know what you are doing. And until Google changes its algorithm again, which may send you to page 98. Adsense is okay but, unless you have a shedload of traffic, will only earn you cents. Until Google decides to close down your adsense account. Selling advertising space on your websites can be much more profitable. Offline can be very lucrative if you treat it as a business.
The best way: Save time. Learn how to generate traffic. Build a list. Market to your list. Build a list. Build a list. Build a list. Seriously. Build a list. :-) Until I built a list, I floundered and made a few hundred dollars. Now I have a list and it pays for everything.

You asked a wide and somewhat vague questions.
PPC, PPV and SEO are traffic generating.
Adsense is money making.
I will try to answer as best as possible.

The top traffic sources are:

SEO - This is a long term strategy. Looks way easier than it really is. You have to get the correct keword. There is a lot of work but relatively small startup investment. Saturation can occur. Google has the upper hand on it all. Be prepared to serve google.

PPC - The lowest of the paid traffic. It can be costly. New people WILL lose money with this the first time they try it. Results are Medium. Risk is minor. Saturation can occur due to plenty of people bidding on the same traffic and the fact that too many people start with a free $100 coupon.

PPV - Ultimate Traffic source. It is cheap. New and Experienced people will lose money. Some people will break their bank accounts. Volume of traffic is vast.
You need to think outside the box to make this traffic convert. 99% of the people do not make money with this type of traffic. Start up cost is around $1000. My personal favorite traffic.

Media Buys - Never ending Traffic. Its cheap, if you know what you are doing. Very high startup cost ~$5000. Most people do not even know this exist or have an idea of what it is. Most relate this to TV/radio advertising which is not.

Social Traffic - some is free but it can be paid. A bit hard to convert. People on social sites are not in the buy mood.

Mobile Traffic - High converting, but choosing the correct offer is critical. Medium priced. High volumes of it available. If you do not know what you are doing, you can go thru $100 in less than 5 minutes. If you know what you are doing, you might be able to retire from this traffic. There is more money in creating this type of traffic than using it. Re read what I just wrote.


blk h@t Traffic - unethical, fast money making--- but risky. Can get your account banned. Some people get banned in the first week, while others get banned after years. This is like SEO on steroids.... it's basically cheating.



Spyware Traffic - very cheap, High converting, almost limitless. Hard to acquire.
Most people in countries other than the US buy this traffic in mass quantities. Most forums do not even allow discussion of it. It's illegal too. NOT blk hatt but illegal. Think along the lines of Antivirus 2009.... remember that booger....


There are a ton of other traffic sources, but I believe they are outside the scope of this post--- so I will not post them.

I wouldn't be sure about that... Panda is getting authority sites better ranked and they already said that 1 of their objectives is to get the websites with 1 page, with an affiliate link, out of the 1st page. If the site is high quality, sure it is a good choice, but it can consume a LOT of time doing those sites...
