Best way to advertise?

[Xyphien]

What do you find to be the best way to advertise. From promoting your site on a webmaster site, to purchasing ads on a website to broadcast to thousands of others (like google adsense) name the way you chose the most, and chose to be the true best advertising way.

For me the best way to advertise my site is to purchase cheap advertisements in some PPC sites, link ads and also banner ads. In this way I can advertise my site with less effort and less money

I find that when I'm very active in forums, I get quite a bit of traffic to my content because when forum members read my post, most of them will click on my profile and on my profile page, I will list the content that I've written and I get quite a bit of traffic this way. Forum posting is one of the ways that is working for me right now. But mostly my traffic largely comes from search engines so I take doing SEO very seriously.

Word of mouth.
Reasoning:
I will check out a website if an IRL friend or online contact suggests that I give it a visit much more than I will check out a website from seeing a random ad.

However, SEO is very important as well as affiliating I believe. I don't really mess with paying people to put my ads up though.

Word of mouth is good (I am secretly making friends with y'all so I can round you up and make a mega forum), getting your name around by any means necessary (advertising at other forums, advertising sigs, etc.), so many other ways.

Personally I never used SEO, maybe something I was doing wrong?
