What traffic method have you tried and realized it's not worth the effort?

It would have to be document sharing for me.

    Traffic was never a problem,it's about conversion. I would always get some traffic but I would have wrong squeeze page or wrong message on the blog/website. Wrong visitors,not targeted...My absolute worst,so far, are banners!

    facebook traffic turns poor traffic for me in the affliate marketing, but in adsense its great traffic.

    Facebook traffic has failed for me (people just aren't in a buying mood). Mixed results with adsense and other private site ads

    I used seo but for wrong keyword - people interested in this topic, but looking for free stuff.

    Pinterest for me. Spent ages adding great images, but never saw any traffic.

    Honestly for me, it was Ezinearticles and Article Directories. I know many will disagree but this is my own personal experience.

    I used to use them for backlinks only and never expected too much heavy traffic from them. Especially when a place like Ezines has a 10% click thru ratio (if not higher) on the ads they place on the site.

    all methods for getting traffic are the same
    you just need to have more conversion
    for my clickbank product the best traffic method seems to be fanpages

    EDIT BY MODERATOR: Why does your location say "Chicago" when your IP is in Romania?
    I'm staying in Romania for a while but I'm from Chicago, is there a problem?

      I've done this before too. Would spend hours a day in an IRC "trading" views and trading clicks with other bloggers. I would make some petty cash for working at it 4-5 hours a day. Became not worth it as the niche I was in did not have high competition and low PPC payout. I'm back with a brand new niche and I'm already getting genuine traffic without, as some would say, "cheating" the system. Many people were banned on adsence because google KNOWS ALL and figured out people were doing this, that's when I bailed out.

    Social bookmarking like Stumbleupon.

    But then again, social bookmarking shouldn't be based for traffic anyway.
