Reports suggest that social networking is now more popular than email. Twitter in particular grew 33% in only a month according to Compete data. Many brands large and small are realizing the potential that Twitter provides. "As exciting as it may be to hear about what your friends, or total strangers for that matter, ate for breakfast, some companies are realizing that a more effective use of Twitter is to mine it for clients, recruit employees and answer customer service questions," notes Kim Hart with the Washington Post. Whether you're looking to increase traffic to your affiliate links, your websites, or even your articles the Twitter Trick is the #1 investment to make. In order to gain more targeted traffic to your small business blog, I would highly recommend utilizing a Twitter photo-sharing site like TwitPic or Yfrog. These sites allow the small business owner to share cool photos from their typical business day, or while plying their craft, so that people get to know you. Photos help to build social trust and intrigue, which leads to more traffic on your small business blog or website.
Yeah social networks help a lot in internet marketing. Twitter and facebook are the number sites to use.
If talking about using multimedia for marketing on social media, facebook might be a better place, facebook is strong in "rich" contents, a business facebook page can also sync with their twitter, meaning that whenever there is update on facebook, it will go to twitter at the same time.
