  • Neha12,

    One of the best ways to get traffic is by starting a blog on your own website, writing content that would appeal to your fan base and then sharing that content on your networks. People want to read good content and if its on your site, they will have a reason to go there. Think about the links you are already posting and if people are following those to other websites, how can you make your website more like those so that people will come to yours instead of theirs?

    In general you just want to host content on your site that people will have to come there to consume and then promote it on the social networks.

    Here are some more tips,

      OP: the first thing you should do is take a look at your website's data in Google Analytics. Check the bounce rate, average pageviews, time spent on the site.

      Because if those stats aren't measuring up, then social traffic just ain't going to do much for you. The whole point of social traffic should be to make them into 'social affiliates': if the average visitor likes your site, you will get the Facebook shares, retweets, pins, Stumbles and Diggs. That will pull in more targeted visitors who will continue to spread the word.

      If your website stats aren't measuring up, then you are better off pursuing ultra-targeted PPC visitors. If they are measuring up, then it's not hard to get noticed; you can use bots like Tweet Adder to follow the followers of the top people in your niche, comment on the top blogs with a link back to your site, post in forums, and so on.

    Do some exclusives for both your main website and facebook site. Provide some brief info about something on one site, and redirect people to the second in order to see the full article. It will probably make your regular visitors start reading both sites

    Just a little something to add on.

    You can probably try facebook advertising to gain likes and fans. Be focused and specific, and make use of the targeting to its fullest. Facebook allows you to narrow down your target demographic down to the age, interests, or even the model of smartphone you use. It's really powerful. Use it to narrow it down to your most probable target audience.

    Then in your future status updates, be relevant, interesting. Use pictures to bump up your post on people's newsfeed (Facebook prefers updates with pictures and other media as compared to purely text). Remember to include a link at the end of your interesting post, so that people can flow to your website quickly and easily by just clicking the link.

    If you need an example you could check this Facebook page out.

    There are a few things to note if you want to get traffic from social media, especially FB and Twitter, among others:
    - You must be active on the social bookmarking
    - You have to share an interesting article and title
    - Increase your followers, use automatic followers like TraffUp
    - Do not post who are not qualified
    - If you do not have time to share, use auto post

    I already tried it and shown to effectively improve the visitor. What do you think?
