Now a days, Facebook, twitter, myspace, orkut etc.. are very useful for the getting traffic and twitter is the most useful for getting indexed in google. It's depend on you how you use those social networking sites. If you use those in systematically way then you can get the most traffic from those networking sites because of those sites are having more than 5 PR means you are working on high pr sites 5+. If you are using the blogs or forums or bookmarking etc.. are having more or less PR and it's effectiveness varies. What do you think on my thoughts? It's better to use social networking sites or other sites, isn't it?
Hi. I agree with you. The success of using any social networking sites depends on how you use it and how you approach the users. In a lot of social networking site users are interacting and communicating, so if you just make some extra effort to reach to them and gain their trust, chance are if you post something, the people that are around you and has been interacting with would help to spread about it. Sometimes, your reputation is what it makes it successful.
The fundamental is simple. To gain visitors for your site or blog, you have to be active in these sites. First, make an attractive profile and add some nice pic and videos in it. After that, include your blog or sites link in the profile. Then start socializing with others - join groups, comment on other people profiles and postings, and do it sincerely. Better choose something that genuinely interests you. That way,you can have fun as well while your blog promotion will take it own course! Try this simple method,and within a few days,you can see amazing traffic coming to your site through these networks. All of these visitors will be the ones who are truly interested in your blog. The only thing you need to learn is to be active and be in touch with others. That way it will be easy for you to be in friendship with them and to maintain it,and rest of the things will fall at right place automatically !
I don't just stick to what's popular these days, I still try to promote my site in different websites other than social networks
I also agree with you but you can diversify others site like forum posting and blog commenting.. and other so that many different people will come to your site
LinkedIn is also good social network to get relevant traffic back to your website/blog/online profile. Post relevant articles/news stories to relevant LinkedIn groups, and voilla - targeted traffic.
Yes social networks are a great way for generating more traffic, but I wouldn't rely on social networking as your only source of traffic.
That is why it is very importance to social networking accounts, specially in Facebook. Have a fan page for your business is a must.
Its importance is now increase, recently Google announced that they are including social results in search results, its showing that Google knows value of Social Media Sites
Social networking sites are good for getting traffic as most of the targeted buyers are there. You can get traffic almost instantly as long as you have the rust of your circle of friends.
