None of the above. I do some the things listed, but not for SEO purposes (with one exception):
Directory submissions: if I'm bored and have nothing better to do, or just to get a site quickly crawled (ranking doesn't really enter into play here because I just am looking for a quick index...hence the "SEO purposes"). I usually end up with much more to do after that.
Blog/forum postings: I couldn't care less about the PR. I do it because I have something to add to the topic or ask about it. If people visit my site as a result of my insight, that's a bonus.
Social bookmarking: I build stuff worth being socially bookmarked.
Classified ads: why? I'm not selling anything.
Article marketing: I'd use this for traffic gain, if SEO wannabes hadn't taken what was a good idea in principle and watered it down McDonald's orange drink-style with a bunch of useless crap that somehow my article is supposed to be picked out of. Dead concept, unless you write a good article and get lucky enough to have the article picked up (or you're mentioned in one that has the same effect...that's happened to me on two non-consecutive occasions).
Link exchange: I believe that link exchange is a magic bullet. People who link exchange for SEO purposes end up with a bullet that magically ends up in their foot.
Link baits: this, like social bookmarking, only comes from content that is worth taking the bait from. <snip>
