I've only played with using the social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and Myspace for internet marketing purposes. However, I also have a blog dedicated to my hobby and I have a Twitter account that I have associated with that. Whenever, I post a new item on my blog a corresponding Tweet is created. I also Tweet whenever something of interest to my fellow hobbyist happens. I have noticed a significant increase in my blog traffic as a result of my Twitter activities. My blog and Twitter compliment each other as I have picked up followers on Twitter from my blog traffic and vice versa. The amount of traffic created has convinced me that marketing through social networks is worth looking into.
In an interesting article on emarketer.com it would seem that experienced internet marketers have been on board with social networking for some time, as many as 96% of marketers with extensive social media experience are using Twitter while 91% of the same group report they use Facebook. Now I need to research and understand how to increase my following of these social networks. If anyone has such experience, I'm listening!
