    I spend all day yesterday trying to build up my twitter, Myspace and Facebook.
    I'm skeptical but I'll let you know is I see any traffic and conversions.
    If not I just wasted a lot of time.

    IMO, Facebook isn't really a good way to drive traffic, if it's a personal acct. Perhaps if you setup as a group it might work better. Myspace is also a waste IMO, but I'm rather anti-Myspace anyway. Twitter has shown huge results for me and gathered a lot of people in my niche, which then is converting to blog traffic and increased RSS feed subscribers. That number jumps by 1 or 2 daily. It makes me sooo happy!

      For me personally it is a waste of time!

      I spent some time months back trying this approach...but out of all my traffic generation it Social Networks give me the least.

      However, I still make some ocassional posts. Mostly I set up and rss and feed them from my blog.

      I will give twitter some props. I have seen an increase from there.

    I think that if you use social networks to meet prospects and like minded people to build up your credibility in a certain niche then they could be very useful. If you're just trying to use them to drive traffic, it's going to be a lot harder (although still possible).

    You definitely need to give before you receive on social networks.

      Hi there

      Well I could of course just say any promotion will work.

      But instead I will say that on Social Networks you have to do things in a different way.

      You have to work at becoming known and respected in the group. whatever Social Network you join.

      If you can acheive this you have the potential for huge groups of people doing your promotion for you.

      You will of course have to see which of the Social Networks best suits you and which give you the most.

      To quote from my latest eBook as just one example. "MySpace has 245,000,000 Registered Users" Yesterday 16.55% and on average 17.876% of global Internet users visit the Youtube site. That is a huge audience.
