Jakob Nielsen: Believe the Data. "Don't make online advertising the center of the marketing plan for your own site - instead combine offline advertising with Internet-appropriate marketing methods like affiliate programs and email (to customers who ask to be notified; never send spam if you want a reputation as a reliable and high-trust site)."
