Let us assume you are using 3-5 methods to generate traffic online. How do you organise it? Do you allocate a day or week to one method? Or, do you do a bit of each daily? Do you pursue one or two methods unitl you get results and then move on to the next?
I am really interested in seeing how other internet marketers do it.

Each day I focus on the following:
#1 Content creation- The more content you put out there the better.
#2. Work on freebies and other marketing material that will build the list.
#3. Link dropping. ( Self promotion without SEO & building brand awareness, which involves helping others for the most part)
About the 3-5 traffic method situation you presented. Basically I would like to split it up into weeks not days. This means that I target one or two methods each week then switch off. I like this technique because by focusing on two methods each week you can really get some good quality work done. If I try to target to many methods each day it does not work well for me. But content creation comes first no matter what. Articles drive traffic so I create them.
On the last week of the month I take the time to create the plan for the next month, that's after I review the numbers for the current month. I print a few copies of the monthly goals and keep one in my wallet with me. I hang one in the room, this helps me think about the goals all of the time. That way when it's time to take action I know what I want to do. After that it is just a matter of knocking out the task on the list, which is easy because its already planned out.
I like to use Google docs and a free mind mapping tool to plan everything out.

I run a blog, several Amazon review sites and OWM campaigns. I usually devote at least one hour each day to each of my traffic generation methods. Fortunately, the Amazon sites do not require much and I use only one method for them.

Placing ads (promoting your website(s)) is any successful online business entrepreneur's daily activities. You must be promoting your content more than you do anything else. I would suggest it be a daily habit to place ads.
When starting out, begin with 1 to 3 marketing strategies and grow your strategies as you become proficient.

It really can depend on what marketing method you are doing. For example forum and blog comment marketing can take as little as 15-30 minutes to be effective depending how many you are comment in.
If you are able earmark an hour to do your marketing at a minimum, especially if just getting started. Many would be surprised how much they can achieve when they truly dedicate the time and are consistent.

I've been breaking down my day by the hour so I can do content creation in the morning hours when it's still quiet around the house. The rest of the day I switch between marketing and other tasks on the list.

I try to do a bit of each of them a day. If I can't do one of them I try not to beat myself up about it and just try again the next day. It helps me to write everything down in a daily planner that I have. It has lots of room for each day so I can put my "To Do List" on it and just check off what I can.
