Hi, ok this one is really hard to answer in detail, online marketing is a science itself, much like programmers that know many coding languages, so the marketers must know many online promotion methods, so let's start there. Let's call a marketing technique a way to drive traffic to your website, which I assume you have one.

The best online marketing technique is SEO, getting traffic from search engines is always number one but is also the most difficult, there is a lot of competition depending on the market, and the reason is because the traffic is very targeted, these are visitors looking for what you are selling, so you have a good change to convert. I can't go in dept to this since it is a bit complex too, but I will suggest a free trial here: http://go.seomoz.org/SHU8 , that is my very favorite site of all the web.

Then you can do PPC, which is paying for ads in search engines, but watch it, this can cost you a loooot of money if you do it wrong, this might help: http://training.seobook.com/ppc-search-engine-marketing

Then you use other marketing techniques that take time but are really helpful for traffic and to support the SEO, like posting on forums, answering questions (like this), comment on blogs, comment on youtube.

Then get social! Facebook, twitter, social networks, add friends, comment, participate in groups. Of course add links to your site.

Then do video marketing, post a video on youtube about something you do really well.

On your website, ask people to join your newsletter, mail them cool stuff every week.

There is no way someone can detail online marketing is a few lines, there are many things to consider besides what I just mentioned, like web analytics, mobile web, conversion optimization, but I can tell you learning about online marketing is available for all, starte here and you will be on you way, http://go.seomoz.org/SHU8

Best of luck!

I actually cover this exact topic in my e-book series, "ClickBank Crash Course".(http://cbcc.vmarketingcompany.com) Even though this is about making money online, it covers marketing online as well because that is a BIG part of affiliate marketing.
