Recently I was doing a diagram at the office of all the traffic generation methods known to be efficient. The keyword here is ‘efficient’ so we immediately ruled out the old-school methods and stuck to what web users in 2008 are into. Surprisingly to me, because I don’t have much experience in this area, email marketing is still in the Top 3 and doesn’t seem to be fading away quickly. Our in-house ad agency, AffiliateRevenue.com, is one of the top email marketing firms online and I am constantly learning from their tested methods of acquiring leads and making sales. With that said, Blogging and SEO are still on top and rising beneath them are new trends such as social media and web 2.0 applications.

Interesting facts, didn’t know that blogging is the most used tactic. At the same time easy to understand since it’s easy to start a blog and use it. If the posts are interesting is another question… Your ones are!
