10 Ways to Use social for Increasing Web Traffic to Your Site

More than 115 million people login to social every month. It is the largest social networking tool and a great place in the web for building your brand and driving traffic to your site. However, if you are not familiar with the viral techniques that work in the social platform, soon you will find your brand tarnished. You can gain quick exposure to your businesses using the techniques discussed in this article.

1. Build a social network. Before you start implementing any of the techniques discussed here, you need to develop a network of social friends. To do that, join a few groups that are related to your business and a few groups that you are passionate about.

Ask people in the groups to add you as their friend. social also has nifty tool that suggest people you would like to know. Send request to these people to add you as their friend. Send a short note explaining why you want to be their friend. If send 20 requests a day, you will have a network of more than 1,000 friends in two months.

2. Update your status every day. Login every day and update your status. Don’t use status messages like “I am sleeping now”, “Just came from work”. These types of status messages are not interesting. Use quotes from famous people about a specific niche, for example love, dedication, work ethics, peace, war, etc. You can also use jokes. Your aim is to draw people’s attention to your messages so that they would click on your profile to know more about you.

3. Wish birthday wishes everyday. social also shows upcoming birthdays of all friends in your network. Every day send birthday wishes to friends whose birthdays are due. Read their profiles to know more about them and write a nice personal message on their walls. Don’t use canned birthday messages for everybody.

When you write on a friend’s wall in Facebook, everybody in the network gets updated news feed. You need to write something that get attention. You may craft a 10 to 20 attention grabbing birthday messages and than personalize them slightly for each friend.

4. Create a business page. Besides your personal page, you should also create a business page. Creating a business page is similar to creating a personal page in Facebook. Design a nice logo and use it for your business page picture.

Next, become a fan of your business page. You can use your business page to launch targeted social ad campaign. Promote your social business page using blogs, blog comments, etc. and ask people to become a fan of your business. Use some promotional materials, like free t-shirts, free eBooks etc as incentives for becoming a fan.

5. Tag promotional photos using friends’ names. Upload all promotional photos to your business page. Some people tag these photos with the names of their most influential friends in the network. Your promotional photos will show up in your friends’ news feeds. Once you setup a network of friends, make a list of friends with high number of friends, preferably more than 1000. Setup your mini network to tag each others names in promotional photos.

6. Change your relationship status regularly if it is possible. One of the least frequent activity in social is changing the relationship. Because people don’t change their relationship frequently, social places a great deal of importance to relationship change and send the news feeds to everybody in your network whenever there is a change in your relationship status.

People have explored this loop hole to attract attention to their profiles. They change their relationship almost weekly and try to attract visitors to their profiles. It is up to you to adopt this technique because it may not reflect your true relationship status. If you do adopt this technique, don’t forget to publish some promotional materials in  your personal feed.

7. Attend Multiple Events. True to its college root, social is all about friends gathering at some place for an event. social gives high priority to events in the news feed. Your goal is to RSVP all the events in your network even if you miss a few of them.

When your friends see you as a frequent event attendee, they consider you as an event resource. The trick  is to show your name in all the places you can. As your friends see your name multiple times, some will be curious to check your profile.

8. Import your blog post. If you have a blog, import your blog’s RSS feed into Facebook. social will publish the articles in the feed as social notes automatically. Encourage your friends to comments on your articles in social notes. You can also tag friends in the articles but don’t overdo it.

9. Post comments on popular groups. Visit popular social groups that you have joined regularly and post comments. Just like blog comments or forum posting, Facebook   comments on popular groups will attract attention to your name and profile. Add something valuable or post a link that adds value to the topic under discussions.

10. Start your own events. Events are very popular in social and if you can promote it properly, it will have viral effects and thousands will register for the event. Send invitation to your network friends who have thousands of friends in their networks and also to attractive female friends in your network who may not have a large number of friends.

Lenses I want for Christmas

I have two lenses on my Christmas list this year. They are the Nikon 300mm 2.8 and the 85mm 1.4. Both look like a lot of fun! If anyone has an older one they are selling, let me know. What’s on your list?

Daily Photo – The Cleaved Granite

Getting to this spot in Glacier National Park wasn’t easy. It was even tougher trying to get Ethan and Tina into the exact spot too. Even though this area had all this cool granite around it, there was a bit of a swamp there that we had to traverse first. And, just around the corner was a nice sandy beach!

Mafia Wars social Guide With Videos

Mafia Wars social Guide

Seriously what is it about this game??? I can not stop playing Mafia Wars, and there are millions of other players who feel the same way. I’ve been playing for a while and begun to wonder if there’s a Mafia Wars social Guide out there that could help me out, just because I’m having a hard time.

So when I stumbled upon a Mafia Wars social Guide the other day that claimed that it will take me all the way to the top in just a few days I was kind of skeptical. I mean those guys pour countless hours of their lifetime into this game. How can I be one of them without doing the same? Yet, I decided to give it a shot I mean what have I got to lose this guide comes with a money back guarantee. And it is also the only Mafia Wars social Guide that comes with video instructions. And I don’t really enjoy reading that much.

This Mafia Wars Guide is really simple. It tells exactly what needs to be done, from the ground up. Or if you are at a higher level you can use the same tips to revamp your strategies. The only thing that I didn’t like was when this Mafia Wars social Guide (the people who made it) promised that I will be able to get a family of 500 in a couple of days. Well not exactly a couple of days maybe about a week, and not exactly 500, 278 strong. Well 278 is still 260 times better than 18 right???

Farmville social Guide – Farmville Guide Secrets

Farm Ville is a cute virtual game about farming that is often played on Facebook. But being a successful farmer takes time and a lot of effort. Also, you have to implement effective tricks or strategies that can help you out and make the process a little easier. Perhaps what you need in order to climb your way to the top of the game is a FarmVille social guide.

The quickest way to advance in levels on this game is to plow and seed. You can choose to plant raspberries if you are the type of person who has a lot of time during the day and aren’t that busy with chores or work. Raspberries need to be harvested every two hours. But then again, harvesting raspberries do not yield experience points.

If you have some money to spare, what you can do is to plow your farm and then purchase soy beans which cost fifteen FarmVille coins each. After doing this, go back and delete the seeded fields, and then start over with plowing and purchasing soy beans. Do not forget to accept all gifts and to check on your trees and animals on a daily basis in order for you to get more coins and be able to purchase more soy bean seeds. Buying buildings yield a lot of experience points too, but then again, they cost a large amount of money. So again, if you have some money to spare, then you can buy builds and earn experience points.

Also, remember to visit and help out your neighbors. Helping out neighbors will move you up in experience points as well, which will get you to the next level. A maximum of one hundred experience points may be earned from helping out twenty neighbors per day.

Find a FarmVille social guide and level up faster in the game. Happy farming, everyone!
