Increasing Traffic with Social Media

SEO just isn’t what it used to be, saying that, many prospects have not clocked on to this basic fact.

Selling a website is much like selling a house. If you’re house has all the basic road structure and traffic passing it, then all you need is to rebuild the house (much like rebranding Amazon). Now if that house is a new house, with no traffic there, in the middle of nowhere, then you’d have to put in the road, road lamps and signs pointing so you’d be able to soon have a digital neighbourhood fuelling your virtual economy, is that makes sense.

We can build sites, but the like mention but in the most cases if it’s a new site, then the client won’t get any traffic and therefore no sales, meaning that the website you sold them failed to do the job.

Like mentioned SEO changed and now those off-page tricks, simply don’t work any more. We’ve now entered an age where you cannot trick search engines and on-page optimization has evolved dramatically giving more focus onto the on page factors. As this is said, the only way I can think of to increase web traffic is with social media optimization.

I was thinking of having in a social media pack to clients, so we can increase their hits on the pages via twitter, stumbled upon, facebook etc. Social Media optimization is kind of the new search engine optimization.

Agree, and you do not have to be late for that. Social media is the alternatives that could replace search engine in some cases of driving targeted traffic.

I often found almost webpage in the top 5 SERPs is old website with more in domain and page authority (that seemed hard to get by new websites). That’s why social media is become an alternative that actually works to drive traffic (when applying it with correct techniques).
Simply, more often to interact and engage with targeted audiences.

social media is best process to brings of huge amount of traffic & Visitors for a website.

Social media is good for getting traffic. By posting on social media one can promote the site as well as give more and more info about its site to attract the visitors. One can also post pictures , videos etc

Yes, definitely. Thats why I have these on my forum. After the signature. So people can share.

Social media has got a huge potential to bring in traffic, but then it can happen only if you know the trick how to use it well. Facebook is one good platform which not only offers you free sharing option but also offers you PPC advertisement option which can generate good amount of brand awareness.

According to my knowledge Social media is used for promotional activities like blogging, commenting, participating, and posting updates.It helps in sharing your site’s information to others in easily manner.If any visitor has interest in your post then it contact your site and it will help you to get good traffic on your website.
Its a free and fast advertising to all over the world.

We often use social media to interact with our client base to give them updates on new products and offer promotions. We don’t get that much feedback, but I guess that’s only because we started to use twitter/FB just recently …
It’s actually difficult to drive traffic to your website with the help of social media, because you also have to be active, known, and appreciated on many different websites, which can end up being quite time-consuming.

If you’re expecting to simply post a link on your social media profiles and get huge sums of traffic, it’s probably not going to happen. Like any marketing campaign, social media has to be developed – and it may actually be one of the slowest campaigns to develop out there. However once you’ve established a good amount of followers, who trust you and hold you to be a credible source, social media can pay huge long lasting dividends.

Right, just take a look at successful companies who do it; Mc Donalds has more than 3 million likes on FB and 65 thousands people talking about them. Any company would largely benefit from having the 1/1000th of this.

As a Sr. SEO I think Yes, currently Social Media is Best way for Promoting your Website and It also require very less time for promotion. Best sites for Promotion according to me are 1. Facebook 2. Twitter 3.Google Plus+ 4.My Space 5.LinkedIn 6.Yelp 7.Youtube etc etc. can help you for promotion and marketing of your website. This will also help you to increasing traffic to your site.

Of course we all want this but McDonalds and the big names have had a presence for a long time. Therein lies the problem. Social Media, we all know is and can be great but building a following and spreading your word is what takes a huge amount of time, effort and effort and time. Which is also frustrating.

I started a few months ago and have 550 followers on Twitter. I posted a question the other day that I needed some info on. Did I get any response…Noooo. I wasn’t promoting myself, selling something e.t.c I have felt for a long time that Twitter can sometimes be about everybody else. Everybody else is so busy trying to get people to follow them and to listen to them that it’s all just about self promotion. Unless you can start to OFFER other something or they can GET something from you they don’t want to know

It really doesn’t happen overnight and I think will take a long long time. You have to get people to follow you or find you and not just friends, then you have actually have something interesting to say or to offer, then and maybe then you’ll start to get a following and others find you through conversations on your timeline. People have to be interested on a massive scale. Once you’ve got people interested, they then have to engage, whether you send them to Facebook and they like your page or they interact in something you’ve posted on Twitter.

Basically. There just isn’t any easy solution. Every avenue requires a lot of work and that’s about it…

Some of my sites Facebook sends more traffic than google organic results. IF that says something about today’s social networking, then let it say that it WORKS!

This is a fact and we can’t deny. social media is a popular option to bring traffic and promote your site.It gives you long lasting result if you apply tricks for it.
