    I also think they are usefull.
    Mainly because they are high authority, I guess.

    Did you mean more effective THAN seo? If so, then no. Search engine traffic converts way better than traffic coming from Twitter and Facebook.

      In my experience so far...

      1. They provide an alternative way to reach your market - while there is an art to creating relationships on social networks, if you do it correctly, then it can be a great way to reach another 20-30% of your market

      2. Yes, there does seem to be a trend toward Google (and other search engines I'm sure will follow) to look at your reputation and relevance within sites like Twitter and Facebook when ranking your sites...Google have admitted as much in recent updates

      3. In the end, they are a good way to create a relationship with your market - it then becomes a fine art how to you transition those relationships into action, but it certainly can be done. For example, you build 10,000 followers on Twitter and then answer some Q&A relevant to your audience (on the network) - into which you may insert a recommended resource ( your own or an affiliate product) that has helped you...that can convert quite well, BUT it really needs to be in the context of broader dialog for this to work, NOT just spamming out links and recommendations cold.

    I love to use Twitter and Facebook as traffic generating tools.
    Here are some of the reasons I love to use them

    1. They are targeted to your specific niche. Home in on people who are talking about your products, looking for a solution, or already buying in your niche. Only market to those specific people!

    2. Its free! Perfect if you are just starting out

    3. Its fun. Going through and writing a ton of keyword optimized content articles is boring as hell. Interacting with other people and expressing yourself is fun and profitable.

    4. Become an expert in your niche. Help others and make more sales by interacting and being personal on social networks

    5. Its fast! You can set up a facebook or Twitter account and be making sales within 1 week. SEO takes a while and it could take weeks or months to rank in the search engines for your hard work.
