What is the best traffic technique for affiliate program

[sr106]

Hi everybody! I'm new here, and just getting started with affiliate marketing--looking for some pointers. I've started a site and am developing it, but meanwhile I'd like to bring in some income driving traffic to some affiliate offers.
What is generally more cost-effective for a newbie: PPC with AdWords, or targeted CPM traffic through companies like betterwebsitetraffic, jadadvertising, and w3hits?
Also, with CPM traffic what seems to work better: pops, contextual, expired site redirect?
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this!

depends on your budget, PPC is the fastest way but you have to know what you are doing:
ads copy as well as your landing pages, SEO may be the longest but have a longer effect. Article marketing, blog marketiing
squidoo probably is the best and it doesn't cost you much money
