Social Network Traffic

Social networking sites like Facebook,MyBlogLog,Twitter and
others are a great way to stay in touch with friends, family
and even business associates.However many Internet marketers
believe that it is a fantastic source for traffic generation. Unfortunately, many marketers make mistakes when trying to
utilize social networking to drive traffic to their websites.

#1  Not linking.
Social networking is conection with your audience on a
personal level.However if you never link to your website,sales
page or even an affiliate page then you’re not going to drive
as much traffic to your site as you’d like. Of course people
will check out your site via your profile but you can do
better if provide valuable information and link to your
website from time to time.

#2  Always linking. People who link to their website
incessantly without providing value or taking the time to
connect with prospects online are shooting themselves in the metaphorical meaning. You’re going to puch  people away
rather than win visitors to your website.

#3 Not spacing your posts out. How many times have you been
on Twitter or Facebook and your entire screen is filled with
post after post after from the same person?  It’s infuriating
and a great way to drive people away from your website rather
than to it. Use one of the many tools available, like
HootSuite, to schedule your posts.

#4  Spending too much time on social networking sites.
Social networking can be one of the best, and most effective,
ways to drive traffic to your website.However,like most
marketing tools the best way to optimize them is to schedule
them into your day and  have a plan. It’s easy to spend hours
on these sites and not really accomplish anything.

Social networking has become one of the most powerful ways
to build an audience, connect with people online, and to
send tons of traffic to your website. It’s easy to make
mistakes and fortunately, they’re also easy to recover from.
Start planning and scheduling your social networking traffic
