Firs of all I am not interested in social media because I am lonely or want to write about my life or any of the reasons most people are interested in it. However it seems like it might be a way to promote my site by putting links to my site it it and writing about my work online and related subjects. Most social media seems like it is too social and not enough promote a website, Maby I need something more targeted to my goals with my website. My site sells website tools, a website builder and has a lot of articles and free ebooks on website development and Internet marketing so that will be the theme of my social media efforts. Ideally this needs to be something that would help with link popularity but getting traffic is more important Would someone tell me which of the social media would be best for sending traffic to my site and has easy ways to share information.
