    YouTube and Facebook - combined. Post video on YouTube, then post it on Facebook. I also incorporate my blog and post the video on my blog too. That way, one piece of content gets distributed to different outlets and gets better exposure.

    Paid traffic is king for me. Google Adwords. Bing Ads (also powers Yahoo Ads). Some Facebook Ads. Good luck to you.

    Facebook ads. Almost the whole world is there now. But you need to capture emails because people there are not searching for your products, they are there to entertain themselves. Follow up, follow up, follow up.

    This alone can take all your advertising budget but then if you create a FB page, then it may go viral and you can get even more exposure. Trick is to tweak and tweak your campaign until you get the lowest possible price per click.

    Forums. I've been getting a lot of traffic from forums where I'm a 1000+ posts member.

    Get to know the forum owner and they're more likely to overlook a .sig full of promotional stuff (but even then, don't overdo it).

    In my early days, I mostly used solo ads to build a substantial list. Today, most of my traffic is organic and mostly reaches via one of my two blogs.

    Craigslist actually brings me a lot. Since I'm legitimately offering them something.

    Otherwise solo ads and other ads. Currently working on POF for the first time, excited to try it out. (I know I'm way behind the times with this xD)

    Wow seems youtube and facebook are the main traffic generator for most of the folks..Somehow I am not getting good conversions from facebook.

    But I am surprised that there aren't many paid traffic buyers out here (especially banner ads.)

    Mine are Youtube, Hubpages, Clixsense, and Facebook. Currently those deliver me the most traffic. But my main (everyday) method is by using drop cards and business cards.

    I'm still amazed that business cards still generate leads for me. By the way, I have a few articles published on Hubpages that consistently rank on the first page of Google. One of which appears in the top three results.

      Interesting Kevin..I thought Hubpages don't get ranked higher in google now. Are these pages new or are these created sometime ago?

        These hubs were published in 2011-12. When I search for various topics I still see the hubs of others appearing on the first page.

    AdWords is very hard to beat for highly-targeted, IMMEDIATE traffic. I've been using it for many years.

    Of course... the downside is that it can be quite expensive. That's why you MUST do your break-even math to determine if it's likely to be profitable for your specific product.

    I get my traffic from SEO, articles and youtube videos. I do get a lot of views on slideshare slides, but somehow these views do not get converted to clicks to my site.

    Any ideas on how to get the best from slideshare?

    I would also like to point out my traffic sources
    Love google
    Then facebook (But I don't think facbook ads are good enough as not seeing any good targetted traffic from there I looks like I have ads on a games site where kids plays and click our ads

    Yes forum signatures are sending good targeted visitors that's right

    So I would give 7/10 to forum signature links for traffic but for this you needs to be consistent in forum discussions.
