I write articles for various article directories, such as ezinearticles.com
I do this because I don't like using PPC.
I've had bad experiences with it in the past and I would rather wait till I have a decent amount of money coming in to use PPC again.
Such as one time I had an ad spend of around $400 but only made two sales worth about $75. >.< Of course, that was one of my first big ventures into PPC. I've learned a bit more since then.

First of all I will select proper segment (group of people to be targeted)
then I have the option of taking help of news paper, electronic media or even by direct bombarding through e mails.

I post on forums and blogs that are the same category as my site (web masters). I sign up at different places and try to make good posts (such as this), hoping to become noticed and intrest people in the works on my site.
There are plenty of other ways I promote as well, such as contacting webmasters for link exchanges, social bookmarks, blogging, word of mouth, ect.

Here is my equation for a very effective method of promoting a website:
Good content + SEO + PPC, Paid back links, Forum posts to similar niche, banners, etc. = Great traffic and more targeted traffic!
IMO, opting for paid ways contribute well to a good marketing mix especially at getting targetted traffic. In reality, getting 10 targetted traffic is better that 100 random traffic. Getting just mere random traffic doesn't constitutes your site's success - it's the conversion you get from your traffic. Getting traffic is just the first step, offering the right stuff to your visitors and conversion should be utmostly considered.
To sum up, SEO is great for the long run and should't be left out. This is a long process and wouldn't always give you immediate results. Premium ways (PPC, paid links, banner, etc) for faster generation of targetted traffic especially if you have time constraints.
For PayPerClick campaigns, you can use Wordtracker to see what keywords are most searched. Just google it and look for the free version. Other PPC providers have such tools to help you decide which to bid on.
Don't just rely on using top keywords for your PPC campaign - this is the reason why others are failing. Bidding on top keywords will yield you less as competition for these are stiff already. The technique here is opting for other long tail keywords that is more likely to yield specific results because specific searches on long tail keywords or phrases are the ones that usually convert. Those who employ such search are more likely to buy IMO.
Also don't bid that high at first, weigh first what keywords convert in your niche after a test run so you will know what works and what doesn't.
You should also try out other PPC providers for more reach on your campaign.
Hope that helps!

Lol, not sure they do that somehow! There is the whole argument where competitors can corrupt your SEO otherwise.
I haven't tried paid back links, but i've read on a few sites that is completely untraceable that you have paid for the link, and what site you going on is anonymous.

On your second point - I'm sure Matt Cutts would beg to differ! Google is very serious about paid links and we probably wouldn't believe some of the things they can detect. I wouldn't risk it (... but that's up to you!).
I had a question here, If I purchase a paid inclusion in Yahoo and WOW directories does this considered as paid links? I hope these are allowed.
The yahoo directory was a profitable option for my company as many other directories included the site automatically later on.

I wouldn't approach it this way. Try to find websites that are relevant to your market and see if you can buy/rent a link from it. Link buying networks are/will be even more targeted/penalised by Google in the coming months.
Also a lot of the recommendations are for online marketing. Websites also fall under the offline marketing rule - if it's a business site, make sure you add URL's on all the company's literature, business cards, brochure etc...

Keep adding good content to your site regularly. One of the most important thing Google checks is the amount of new content. Regular new content means Google coming back more often.

You know, posting your link multiple times in the same post doesn't help you any. In fact, it makes it look like spam and is annoying as hell.

Twice, my dear friend and that was all. It was relevant to what i was saying to i would not class it as spam.
I have now researched a little more on SEO and still i am struggling to see how all these sites have great ratings even when some of their services have bad ratings themselves.

Right now we're having good success with StumbleUpon. In fact, 30% of our traffic to A Padded Cell is through StumbleUpon. I think it helps to actually use it and gain an understanding of the types of articles that come up a lot on there.
We also post links to our articles whenever we find an oppportunity on very closely related articles and forum topics. For example, we got a lot of traffic last week from an article on rarely used fonts in web design that I commented on with a link to my fonts article. The key here is to only do this when your article is actually helpful - don't be spammy!
Of course, the key to this is having good content that people actually want to read.
Jeevesbond is also involved in the Drupal community and maintains a couple of modules that get us linkbacks from there.

I agree with a majority of the ones that are stating to post to forums and blog sites. By doing that, you get exposure and it's free. I just started doing that more and more, and it has increased my flow a little bit. It's all about what you get out of it is what you put into it. You know?

First of all I choose and create a short, descriptive and catchy domain name. Then I write fresh and lucrative content. The article pages should be specified by separate specific keyword. After that I try to exchange link with high page rank site which will definitely get more traffic in your website. With sitemaps, webmasters can make sure their site is indexed. Another way to promote your website is that you may add your own web address to your own profile in forums. Each time you post or respond to questions your add will be displayed.
It`s common knowledge that you have to work in promoting your site so that enough targeted traffic visits make it profitable.
If you want to predict the future, look at the past...

i submitted my blog to directories.
i put my blog url in my forum signatures.
i submitted to dmoz.
i try to answer questions on yahoo answers, and try to segue from that answer to my url (so it doesn't look so spammy).
had a friend stumble me (although i felt rather sheepish doing so).
i try to post at least once a day (not that hard since, hey, i write short poems).
i use ping-o-matic.
i set up my rss feed on my igoogle, my yahoo and my msn pages (does this do anything though?)
then again, am not really one to talk as my daily traffic's in the single digits....
