I tend to advertise on a lot of safelists and forums. I prefer to build trust with people before instead of introducing my primary first.

I get my best results when using search engine marketing, social networks, forums, blogs, articles and phone.

I will also purchase credits on popular traffic exchanges that I can see results from in my server stats.

I only use safelists and similar advertising programs that provide email addresses and / or the ability to directly contact others. I use the viral ones when they are new and people are actually accepting the ads in their primary mailboxes, until they get so congested with experienced marketers that they tend to send them to spam or drop them in other mailboxes when the programs become popular. Still. I place ads to reach new members if I have a program for that market, but some of my programs are reared toward those in the industry.

I used to get results from Traffic Exchanges,but they don't seem to work so weel these days(except for the owners,that is!).Safel;ists -I wonder if any body read them at all?

I've read in a few places here and there that Text Ads are really hot,lately,although I have to wonder abou them also,since when I look at my clicks I don't see a lot.

I'm doing the same as Lea.

I'm Blogging,Article Marketing(just Ezine Articles,so far),reposting them and my blog posts on the all the business and other social networks I use.In other words,I'm doing my darndest to spread my link and name everywhere! lol

In fact,a neat site I found out about is called "ping fm."Using it,after setup,.you can "ping" updates to all your social networking sites and IMs all at once!
