Are you guys actually making decent money from your squidoo lenses? A few of you have mentioned them. Since my earlier post in this thread, I bit the bullet and built a couple just to see.
They are pretty simple to do, but I can't say as I've had much in the way of results. I've only made a couple of dollars (I assume from the Adsense), but then I have to admit I really haven't promoted my lenses much. I put them in my sig on a different forum.
It is my understanding that we can only have about 10 modules per lens or something like that. Not a lot of room for growth. I've only had a handful of visitors to them - again, I haven't actively promoted them, so...
Anyway, back to the thread question. I still think having an actual site is the best way to go.
My first site is a year old this week and the stats are really good for a beginner. I've got 175 of the 232 pages in the top 30 of Google and 91 of them in the top 10. That was a pleasant surprise.
I get about 400-500 visitors a day to the site and that is without paying for any traffic in any way, shape, or form. Of course, I wish those numbers were double that, but the way things are going, I expect they will be before too long. 
All that to say, I just followed the instructions in SBI and built a site based on the CTPM principles and the results are coming in as promised. I think having your own site is the best idea if you want long term success.
However, that is not to exclude what everyone else is doing. Some people are having plenty of success (or so they say) with other things, but this is really the only thing I know personally.
Just wanted to give that update. All the best.

These are good numbers. What is the subject of your website?

These numbers are for my first site, Chocolate Candy Mall in my signature, the one that is a year old.
The other site (Auto Insurance Helper) is only 2 months old and is only getting about 40 or so visitors a day. Well, hey, that's a start!
