Hi All, Can Everyone share there experience about the Social Networking Sites (Twitter, Facebook) and also the advantages and disadvantages of using those sites..........
I say it's fun. Twitter is like the next generation of blogging on the web. I personally like Facebook because of it's games. But in SEO point of view, twitter is a helpful tool if you know how to use it as a marketing tool or a promotional micro-blogging tool. But if you don't know how to use it, you can't get traffic from it. Facebook as I read in some forums is like a huge wall for search engines. They can't see your profile page which you post your links and updates in your wall. But social networks are best way to promote your website.
Even if you do not like twitter it is worth participating as its growth is unbelievable and shows no signs of slowing down. Twitter with the right tools gives you a wide open marketplace that can be easily targeted to the sub niches. Facebook is fine but it tends to take a lot longer to get a good number of followers
The disadvantages of using Facebook for 2 years, never get any projects in open groups, but I got lot of projects from some companies and FB friends in private groups, they follow my twitter to see the progress
We've had some really good results (increased traffic & sales, excellent roi) advertising on facebook. Pinpointing our target market for individual products, no direct or relevant competition, low cost.
I don't know about twitter but i noticed out only advantages of facebook. The best advantage i like about facebook is privacy.
I seem to just get strange people wanting to follow me on twitter, so I have stopped using it as much! I mostly use facebook to keep up with friends and family.
I don't think either is great for overall conversion rate but in terms of attracting visitors then it can have a really positive impact.
