3)submit in directories

Submission in directories are devalued by google and appreciate natural links a lot.

That's not true. There are no arbitrary penalties for directories. Directories links are just weak because no one links to a directory thus keeping them from gaining any real value and preventing their external links from having any real value.

i think forum posting & links building in relevant sites do a lot favor.

If you could find a way to pursue each strategy, you would be on the right track. The key would be to prioritize which strategy suits your niche best and work from there. But, combining aspects of each is the way to go - in my opinion.

Good luck!

Best,

Many good points have been given already but I go with blogs and social bookmarking. Try placing your feet on your targeted clients' shoes. Know what their exact need that you can to offer them. This way, you know where to advertise most.

Depends on what do you promote:
1. website where you get money from advertisement
2. product
3. service

depends on it, you should choose prioriry from seo, blog articles, links, direct marketing

I guess, Forum Posting WINS because value is double

Forum Posting = Quality links building

You didn't read this thread did you? Forum posts are not quality links. They're so low value they're not worth seeking.

you can have a signature with a keyword and a link right?
So I meant it value its double because:

1: It HELP you ranking ( because of you signature)
2: A visitor may follow the link in you signature and that means? Yep! a Visit!

Quality links building; is for Search Engine Ranking
Blog & Forum posting; is for Link Building and Promotion

[MrCat]

I do all of them but always start with QUALITY LINK BUILDING - these would include high PR directory submission, forum and blog posts, etc..

1: It HELP you ranking ( because of you signature)

As stated earlier in this thread it doesn't help your rankings as the links are very weak. They have so little value posting just to get the links for SEO is a waste of time. (If you are targeting a very long tail keyword it might but any weak links will do that as well).
