I'm going to brush through each of the methods, but you can follow the links to get more information about each method in detail too.
#1 - Recruiting through your own website
I have put this first for a reason, and thats because this is the best way getting direct referrals, period! Anybody who is serious in making money from PTC sites needs to have their own website. Obviously most of the people joining PTC sites dont have knowledge of doing this, but that's why we are here. We teach you how to make a website from scratch and the Do's and Dont's.
It is definitely a long term process but it pays, research about it and seek competitor websites from Google. Unlike driving traffic to your referral link, you can drive traffic to your website and promote multiple referral links at the same time. When you build a website you have two options, free or paid websites. I use the free hosting methods, because that's all you need. But if you think you need a .com address you can always go for a paid hosting site. Godaddy is the best hosting out there and hostgator is a close second.
www.weebly.com for me is the best free web site builder. Don't use Blogspot because PTC site related blogs are not allowed and will be banned after some time. (personal experience)
Building a successful website is a long learning process and we will cover it here. It requires commitment and a lot of patience. You can use all the below methods afterwards to drive traffic, or you can just drive traffic to your referral links individually too. Its your choice. But if you are for the long run like me, make a website on your own, its no that hard, If I can do it so can you.

#2 - Recruiting from Forums and Chats
Provided you play this game properly, Forums and Discussions are the best place to put in your links. Think about it how many time have you searched on the internet on some question and ended up in a forum thread that has posts relating to what you searched for?
The idea is to place your comments on those forums when others searched likewise. So finding a good forum and being active in it usefully has its perks. You dont have to do anything other than give real solutions to a question or discussion of a forum.
How do you find the best forums to be active on? it doesn't mean you have to visit the forums everyday, once or twice a month is enough, search for your area of relevance for posts/threads about PTC's and give your point of view. Make sure you update your profile with a photo of you and web links to your website/ref links. You can also use the signature to place your links in every post you make. The more the posts you make the better the trust you build in your answers. Don't spam. add value.

#3 - Recruiting from Comments and suggestions/answers
Much like Forums adding comments to articles and websites posts that has relevance to money making online also drives traffic to your ref links or website. If you add value people will want to see where you come from or direct them to. Plus its very easy to pass a comment on anything.
The trick is to find a place where a lot of people may visit and place a comment. There is no one way of doing this right, but I always make it a point to make a profile or register and make a comment on something that I come across, because there is a good chance some other person will also come the same way.
The issue with commenting is that its temporary to drive traffic but worthy to place back links if you are promoting a website, but I do them both, by placing a back link to my website and directing my visitors to my earning sites (ex: PTC sites) from there. rather than directly putting my ref link everywhere. If you make it a habit to comment on 3-4 times every other day you are bound to hit a gold mine, and thats better than any game I'd say.

#4 - Social Media Marketing
Social media sites are here to stay. It is the future because its attractive and very popular with new billionaires coming out of the blue unlike in the olden days. The future is connected through social media. So you better get to it before anyone else does.
It is not that complicated and most of the time fun and free. So build a FB page, have a twitter account. If you have a website play with some social widgets and apps. Comment on relevant social pages and where people hang out and are active. Social exchanges like www.fanslave.com can be used to get FB likes and twitter followers and more free of charge. The best part is almost everybody who uses social exchanges wants to make money online too.
It is perfectly fine to update your social presence even if you dont get any likes or followers at the start, make sure you are ready with enough material on your FB pages before you get into promoting it, so that people will always stay in "liked" to receive future updates. Nobody will like a FB page with no continuous material in it.

#5 - Website Advertising and Network Marketing
This requires a good eye and some spying skills. There are so many advertising networks out there which are garbage, but the best ones are too expensive for penny handlers like us. However, there are a few good ones out there who are growing and those are the once open for us.
When you visit a website, make it a habit to see at the bottom of the home page, because most often websites that have advertising spots for hire put an "advertise with us" link there. Sometimes the website owners handle their advertise space on there own and sometimes it is given to an ad network. All you have to do is contact them and purchase an ad spot.
Be careful, dont do this if you dont have enough experience in campaign marketing. There are a few things to consider.
Will I make more money than I spend?
Does the website get organic traffic or paid?
Are the visitors in your target market?
Most of the time these advertisements run for a particular period rather than a number of clicks or impressions. So be mindful of timing your advertisements as well. I always thought weekends are the best time to place advertisements (it is a good time still) but i found out that Thursdays are better through practice. It might be the advertisement or the group of visitors or paid advertisements the website gets or just dumb luck, but thats a trend I have seen. So I obviously cash in on that and have booked Thursdays till 8 months from now to run my advertisements.

#6 - PPC Advertising and Marketing
Adsense, FB Ads are the most popular but there a few other that are great but not that popular with.
Example : Bidvertiser you get $20 just for trying it out and some of my easiest referrals were from Bidvertiser.
Adsense is expensive and FB ads are just pointless if you dont know what you are doing. PPC advertsing has its perks if you are advertising high priced goods because a single sale will allow a lot of clicks.
So it is better to try the method out by using these free money given to try out in smaller PPC networks.
Bidvertiser is a start, Ill let you Google and find out the rest. :)

#7 - Traffic Exchanges
Traffic exchanges are a free method to get traffic to your referral link/website. It works simple, you visit someone else's site you get someone else visiting yours.
A lot of new PTC joiners use traffic exchanges to advertise their referral links to new people who surf on traffic exchanges, all you need to do is take part in it as well. There is a few points to consider using traffic exchanges to recruit new referrals. The best traffic exchanges are the ones that get new surfers. they are listed here. It might take hundreds of hits for you to get a single recruit but the important part is its free.
Traffic exchanges also can be used as a source of income as you get money to surf, and you can use the strategies that I discuss later to make this a separate source of income as well.

#8 - Email Marketing and List building
Email Marketing and list building is also a good way to get people in your list to join your websites as referrals. All you need is a good auto responder free/paid, or you can always do it manually using Gmail or outlook.
People tend to think you need money to make a list, but there are so many ways you can advertise your email address or lead capture page to make a list. All you need to do then is send emails out.
I wouldn't mind sending emails 20 at a time to 1000 emails. if I get $100 for a single sale or a few new referrals for a new program. The secret is attracting them to give you their email address. You can use a free goodies tactic and get their details or invite them directly through other methods mentioned here as well.
A simple comment " If you need to know how i made $500 a week through the internet absolutely free, send me an email at [email protected] and ill share with you how i did it for free" will generate enough leads. Its simple as that. Make sure your dont promote the same program you get your leads from. For example if you advertise your capture page in neobux, there is no point promoting neobux to them, they are already there.

#9 - Article writing and Marketing / Guest Posting
Seen as Ideal to enhance SEO of your website links from articles will be something of the past. Everybody is trying to exploit it so Google will obviously punish. Instead make a brand name, instead of linking in say the brand name. Otherwise if you want to direct them to your referral links straight there is no problem there as well. Do not put direct links to your own website, one link is okay if you absolutely want to. Instead of linking in to your website, put your website address in your profile. People will come.
Squidoo, Stumbleupon, tumblr, slideshare, hubpages are few places you can easily make articles and even make money doing so.
The articles should be unique and should attract its readers to your website ideally. SO make it with proofs and reviews and write as much as you can.

#10 - Offline Marketing
This method is frowned at by internet marketers, but let me ask you a question? Do you buy newspapers? what if newspapers had your website information on it? Its cheap and has reach to many. Your website will get genuine visits that will improve your SEO and local clients that you can reach better.
The list is endless, but what I personally do it print out my web address and leave it in public places. Even in Public toilets. :) It works. Pin them to notice boards, put them in library books, put them in parked cars etc.
There are plenty of newspapers in the world selling ad spaces and you can find them all through the internet. Ill let you imagine the rest.
So to conclude, the best strategy is not one of these but a combination. think of it as you are starting up a business. At the start you need to do a bit more to get the message out about what you are offering. When the time goes buy you make money and you can use services to get the message out and people start coming in automatically. make it a habit, and use a bit of time continuously to spread the crumbs and soon enough people are bound to arrive in numbers. Good luck.!!!
