I have been testing Social Media for the past 12 months, and here is my conclusion with enough testing. After failing so many times with 3/4 of these social media sites, I decided to put my facts together and avoid using the ones that weren't doing well for me, and started marketing to the hot areas. The reason I did this type of testing was to maximize my time in all different ways as possible. To focus on the winners, rather than the losers. Let me save you time, and money today... Read this report. Social Media is good if you just want traffic, and then go out to sell the sites with great traffic reports. Yes, it may be good traffic but is it converting? According to the tests and results, the conversion is horrible unless you Market to the Winners. I have realized there is too much garbage on the net with some of these big named Social Media Networks, when it comes down to marketing but let me start off by giving you what I have realized with my tests. Twitter is spammed by tens and thousands of people, most accounts are fake and the traffic conversion is horrible. Facebook has semi-good traffic and decent conversions. You actually have to make sure you take the right approach, or you will lose. You must create a different facebook page for each niche, if you want to market directly to your audience.Pay for Likes or Suggest this to your friends, and have them suggest for you. Or still building a list around Facebook Likes Pages. Digg has good traffic, lots of clicks to your page, but that's about it. Sometimes, it helps for your opt-in pages, but normally they are fake e-mails. It's really a waste of time other than traffic... The only way to make good cash from Digg is to become a top player and then provide front-page services to big site and networks, who pay you to advertise for them on the front-page. Reddit Waste of time, they don't click ads... StumbleUpon - Gamers Conversions are crazy here. Other than that, your wasting your time with this type of marketing. Delicious The Winner and Final Result with my testing... Over 90% of my sites that get linked on delicious have been with great exposure each month. Anywhere from 20 to 14,000 Visitors per month, just from using DELICIOUS the right way. Not to mention, 40% Conversion of those 90% visitors that I get. Results of my conclusion after numerous tests for the past 12 months. Hopefully, it makes you realize where to begin your next journey of social media marketing, and where you should avoid playing with the Losers! Best of luck to all of you.
