Using Web 2.0, Social Media sites Get Website Traffic

Today in the world of Web 2.0, Social Media sites are one of the most important sources of website traffic for your online business.

Using these Social Media sites the right way can bring in large amounts of Website Traffic very quickly to your sites. NOT using them correctly can KILL your business.

First of all, let me explain to you what the 3 most important types of Social Media Sites for your online business are.

1. Communities - These are sites that people go to on a regular basis and hang out. People set up profiles and make them personal by adding photos, writing blog entries on their own pages and making comments on their friends pages. Examples of communities are FaceBook and MySpace.

2. Libraries - These are sites that contain collections of information provided by their users. Examples of libraries are Digg and Technorati.

3. Notice-boards - These are sites where people go to and make recommendations to other sites or make posts to on a regular basis. Examples of these types of notice-boards are Twitter and blogs.

So what is the right way to use these sites?

The best way to use these types of sites is by signing up and creating a profile, read the TOS (Terms of Service) to find out what can and can´t be done on the site, spend some time in the site watching what others are doing and then do the same.

The reason why you should do all of this is because if you just sign up and start posting content linking to your site, there is a very strong chance that the site members will see you as a spammer and ban you from the site.

So sign up and take a look around and get a feel for the site. Set up your profiles like the other members are and then do the same as others are doing.
