Social Networking Sites to Get Traffic From

Social Networking

As well as submitting your blog or websites posts/links to social bookmarking sites. You can also harness social networking (SNS) sites to gain traffic and readership. You can create groups on social bookmarking sites and have people join that group. You could create your own group for your site or blog as many companies do now to brand a name for yourself. One such site to do this on is Facebook. I myself run a number of groups/pages on Facebook. I have the Make Cash Fast group. Which is the group for my Make Cash Fast site. I have the Get More Swagbucks page. Which is the Facebook page for the Get More Swagbucks blog. (I love Swag Bucks). And I have a couple other Facebook groups as well that I run. All of which help me drive a little traffic to my sites and blogs.

The good thing about Facebook is that it's so easy to make friends on there. One way I did it was to add the Mafiawars and Mobwars application and ask people to add me from the fan pages and discussion pages on those groups. I had hundreds of people sending me friend invites all the time. Once you have done so you can then send out invites from your pages to those people and ask them to join your group/page. Not everyone will but if you have 5000 friends you can be sure that there are some people that will join. If not just for the sake of it! Of course once those people join they can then send out invites to their friends as well and so on and so on. This makes it viral advertising and gets you more members to your group/page which in turn means more traffic to your blog/site.

Another site to use is Myspace. Myspace has been around a little longer than Facebook but is not as busy as Facebook is but is and still can be very effective. You can start a Myspace profile page for your blog/site and search for people in the same niche as you and add them as friends. They will reciprocate and view your profile that you can fully customize and add content to it relevant to whatver niche you are working in. It can proove to be quite successful if you do it right. And it's still worth doing for the extra traffic and backlinks it will give you.

Here is a list of other social bookmarking sites you can also do this with.

Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, NetLog, Hi5, Tagged, Twitter, Friendster, Multiply, Linkedin, moneymakersonline, Yahoo 360, Squidoo, Technorati, Yuwie...

You can sign up these sites for free. Create your profile and go around adding friends. When people visit your profile that will give you a little extra exposure for your site or blog. Especially if you have branded your profile with the same logo as your site or blog uses. That way people will know what it's all about.
