Why You Should Be Marketing Via Social Media

I am always surprised to find people today who will not market their websites via social media. They prefer doing things the quiet and simple way - by only using Google ads.

I don’t know about you but I really don’t know of anyone who clicks on Google ads anymore!

Why is marketing via social media so important?

Because marketing via social media gives you traffic for multiple sources!

Let’s take a look at iyazam.com’s traffic stats from yesterday:

Ezinarticles.com - 12

Jobshuk.com – 6

Searchwarp.com – 7

Facebook.com – 24

Jasonsnetwork.com – 4

LinkedIn.com/answers – 4

Problogger.com – 3 [comments on blogs]

Stumbleupon.com – 7

Wikihow.com – 6

Articlebase.com – 2

Yahoo Groups - 26

Techcrunch - 3 [comments on blogs]

And the list goes on… but I’m sure you get the point!

Marketing via social media gives a few good things:

- A steady flow of traffic to your website on a daily basis, sometimes even a heavy burst of traffic.

- An increase of inbound links to your website

- Improves your search engine rankings

- Helps you build a community or audience around your website – it speeds up the process.

Now to effectively market via social media you should create for your self a weekly schedule on what to focus on.

For example:

This week I will be focusing on writing at least three articles and then submitting them to as many directories as possible.

Next week I will focus on social bookmarketing sites and forums.

Plan out your week ahead of time and this help you in your social media marketing efforts.
