    In order to use social media for your blog traffic, just create your profiles to social media sites and start building it. You may add some stuffs that would attract others by putting some nice photos, uploading interesting videos, etc. Just put things that would keep their attention, and make sure to update your information on a regular basis in order to keep others or the consumers informed. Aside from informational stuffs and updates you add on your profiles and other social media accounts, you also need to communicate with those who comment or like your page. By using social media to communicate with the public, you will be able to gain their trust turning possibilities into sales.

    I usually set up a page and ask a few friend to like it. Or I use my personal account and like that page. Then I share the page so my friends and acquaintances see it too. I try to engage users by making sure I post information or links to articles, both on my site and on other sites, that are valuable or relevant to them. It takes time building a fan base or a following, at times, it takes a lot of following too, so this is not something that you can rush. But the results in traffic are worth it though.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    Get in groups, post interesting stuff, talk to people, share them some information in exchange for their likes, give free ebooks, etc. There are so many ways to get traffic through social media.

    One can really gain traffic from social media networking sites. How to do it? Let me show you some examples below:

    1. Facebook - You need to build a fan page for your site. Get some fans and likes. Post updates on the fan page such as your new posts or new pages for your website.
    2. Twitter - You need to get followers. Tweet your links for your new posts and new pages.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi,
    I just written a post about how to use LinkedIn to get Massive amounts of FREE traffic.
    The Setup is quite easy, but you can drive loads of targeted traffic to your site without spending a penny.
    http://www.stehughes.net/2012/11/how-to-use-linkedin-to-drive-massive-traffic-to-your-site/
    Since I've written this Article, my traffic from LinkedIn, Twitter etc has gone mad. I'm getting 10 times as much as I was 3 days ago. Check it out.
    If you're not on LinkedIn already, I really recommend you do.. and add me as a Connection when you get there.

    You need to reward them and bring them to your fans.
    Usually they only will like your fan page if they like your blog content and which to follow your every new post uptodate with them.
    You can actually do some trick which when your blog write a content and you know will lot of people reading it , but you not going to share all solution in the blog but share some in your social media to bring it back.

    Have a credible profile first then build a network and then suggest or introduce your site to the number of your friends and the possible traffic may come from them.

    The first thing I do is to connect my blog with Facebook and Twitter, so every time I publish a new post it automatically gets published on my social profiles as well.

    If you have good boards that are followed by people who regularly view and share your pins, you can boost your blog traffic by pinning posts from your own blog.

    Pretty much what the other posters but also want to connect personally with people. If you just dump links without offering value then you'll be looked as a spammer
