Hello,

Since i started internet marketing,i have been introduced to so many ways to promote my products and services,some told me seo is the best,somew say its pay per click(ppc)others mention email marketing while some believe in traffic exchange.

I have tried to use all of them except the ppc and email marketing.The methods i have used so far have produced some good results ,but am not still satisfied because i need the best promotion method that have been tested and proved.

Guys what do you think? whats your own opinion and methods of promotion and marketing that given you excellent results?

Ifeanyi.

This thread correctly lists many popular tactics, but the missing piece is a repeatable decision process. Members have suggested sensible channels— (SEO), (article/bookmarking), (classifieds), (Q&A), (forums), (Facebook) and (social)—and correctly notes the single biggest factor: the right channel depends on the product and niche. The practical next step is not to pick a "best" channel by reputation, but to pick channels that map to how your specific buyers find and decide.

Start with a crisp experiment framework: 1) define the one conversion that equals success (sale, qualified lead, trial); 2) calculate simple economics (estimate LTV and the maximum customer acquisition cost you can afford); 3) map 1–2 buyer personas to likely channels; 4) choose one short-term paid test and one long-term owned/earned test; 5) run time-boxed experiments (4–6 weeks) with clear hypotheses and tracking. Track CTR, conversion rate at each funnel step, CPA, revenue per visitor and cohort retention — not just raw visits.

Tactical notes that build on the suggestions in the replies: SEO and helpful content compound over time but require conversion-focused pages; PPC gives fast, measurable feedback but needs tight targeting and landing-page A/B tests; email is the highest-leverage owned channel when properly segmented; forums/Q&A and bookmarking are useful for niche authority building when participation is genuine, not spammy; classifieds occasionally convert but often deliver low-quality leads. Use UTM parameters and event tracking to attribute channels properly.

Common failure modes: lots of traffic with no sales (usually offer/landing-page mismatch or trust/friction issues), or profitable clicks that scale poorly (creative/targeting problems). Iterate: double down on channels where CAC < allowable CAC, stop the rest. The process of hypothesis, measured test, and conversion optimization consistently beats chasing a single "best" tactic.

I suggest you to do some regular submission activities in bookmarking sites, article sites with good and relevant content so that others may feel it interesting.

Facebook market is best way to promote your site and is one of the most effective ways to boost traffic.

Member Avatar for mauconline

The best way to promote or market your product depends on the product and the niche market you are targetting.

You need to know what appeals to your niche market, where they hang out etc. Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet. It takes time, lots of plannning and market research.
So know your product inside out and highlight all its benefits to your target audience.
Hope that helps.
