The Best Social Media to Get Traffic

Facebook Ads is by-far the best platform for targeted traffic. Not only can you target an audience for dog training... you can reach an audience for your specific breed.

I use Facebook Ads it`s great,Here are six ways to target your customers with Facebook ads:

1. Location

Location targeting, also known as geo-targeting, can break down groups of people by city, state, zip code and country. For businesses, this targeting option can have dramatic impacts on click-through-rate (CTR) and ROI.

First, it allows businesses to use location-specific content that will appeal to Facebook users. For example, someone who lives in Chicago is much more likely to engage with an ad that uses the word Chicago, or the zip code 60015, compared to an ad that is generalized to the entire country.

Second, it allows images to be specialized in the same manner, meaning that an ad targeted toward people living in Boston can see a picture from Boston while people in New York could see an image of New York. Using an image that correlates with a user’s geographic identity can create a sense of personalization that will help increase interest and engagement in the long run.

Third, by using the targeting option, and creating unique ads for each geographic target, businesses can create localized landing pages, which will help convert users who move from the Facebook ad to a company’s website. Just like with the ads, landing pages are most effective when they speak to the user, and geocentric landing pages are one way to create a stronger connection.

2. Demographics

Most Facebook users voluntarily input important and useful demographic data, which businesses can access and use to target ads. Some of the most popular demographic data that is used for targeting includes age, gender, education level and marital status.

For businesses, this information is what marketers have been wishing for. Before digital advertising, and specifically Facebook, started offering demographic targeting, advertisers had to make educated guesses about viewership/readership based on small surveys, logical deductions and past experiences.

For example, advertisers would put ads on midday talk shows hoping that women would see those ads, but even if women were the biggest group watching the show, there were also many viewers who fell outside the target demographic as well. For businesses, this meant wasting money by paying for ads to be shown to viewers they didn’t want to target.

Now, advertisers can cut out the guesswork and push ads directly toward target audiences most likely to engage and convert without wasting money, time or effort on non-target audiences.

3. Interests

Facebook users are sometimes fans of hundreds of brands or have dozens of self-described hobbies and favorite activities. Targeting based on interests allows marketers to get inside the heads of Facebook users and push ads toward the people most likely to find it useful or intriguing, which has a positive effect on ROI. The goal is to only show ads to specific user groups that will not only find interesting, but that they’ll want to click on the ad.

Advertisers can input as many or as few interests, hobbies and brands into Facebook’s targeting software and weed out anyone who doesn’t conform to that criteria. For example, in an effort to increase ROI for a hardware store, that store should target based on interests such as home improvement, woodworking, construction and DIY. By doing this, the hardware store can increase the odds that the users seeing the ad are likely to shop at hardware stores, or be interesting in home improvement products.

Targeting based on interests can also mean using the name of popular brands. Facebook users can become “fans” of a brand with one click, and advertisers can use that data to target both fans of a brand they want to promote, or target fans of competing brands. Going back to our hardware store example, the marketers can push ads toward fans of Lowe’s and Home Depot, hoping to sway allegiance, gain new customers and syphon sales.

One tip for businesses is to be as specific as possible. Instead of using “home improvement” as a target interest, use more specific activities like “plumbing” or “deck construction.” Taking that thought even farther, using “cedar deck construction” would whittle the audience down even more. The more focused the behaviors, the smaller the target audience will be, which will only help increase engagement and CTR.

4. Behaviors

Behavior targeting is all about capitalizing on a user’s actions away from Facebook to help influence future decisions. For instance, if someone searches on Google for hiking boots, businesses that sell hiking boots can see that data and specifically target that user. Behaviors are constructed from both someone’s activity on Facebook and through offline activity provided by data from Facebook’s trusted third-party partners Acxiom, Datalogix and Epsilon.

The behavioral data compiled includes everything from websites visited, searches conducted, how long the user stays on each page, product purchased and what ads the user engages with. Facebook then takes that data and creates a digital profile for each user. Similar profiles can be grouped together, such as people who spend significant amounts of time on the Food Network website or looking at sports scores. Advertisers can take that data and target profile groups based on their actions with the theory being that if someone interacts with a topic in the past, that user is more likely to interact with an ad about that topic in the future.

Again, the key to effectively using behavioral targeting is to create content that’s going to appeal to that specific user group. The more personalized and quality the ad content, which includes the image, landing page and tone of the writing, the more likely a user is to click on the ad and convert into a customer.

5. Custom audiences

Custom audiences are a way for businesses to connect their offline and online marketing efforts with Facebook advertising. In essence, custom audiences allow businesses to take lists that they’ve compiled over the years including email addresses, physical address and phone numbers and turn that data into a Facebook user ID list. How this works is Facebook takes the list from the business and matches it with profiles. While this is not an exact science because some people may not list the information on their profiles and the businesses’ data might be outdated compared to a user’s profile, it generally return a great deal of exact connections.

Facebook has recently allowed a newer level of targeting using custom audiences. By using Facebook pixels to track website visitors, businesses can now track the people who convert from ads and see what they happen to have in common. This allows businesses to not only learn which audiences react to the ads, but also learn which types of Facebook users are most likely to convert into sales, an invaluable piece of information.

This targeting option gives advertisers the ability to target consumers that are most likely to engage with the ad. It also allows businesses who want to target current customers to make return trips to a store or website, such as retailers looking to capitalize on holiday sales, the option of rewarding those consumers with unique offers. From all of these custom audiences, you can then create look-a-like audiences based on similar characteristics in your user list and then add additional Facebook native targeting to get an even more precise audience target.

6. Look-a-like audiences

Look-a-like audience building ties directly into custom audiences. While custom audiences allow businesses to build targeting lists based on existing consumer information, the look-a-like option allows businesses to build a list of users who fit the profile of a customer. In other words, Facebook takes a group of users, can figure out what they have most in common, find other users who also have those traits in common and use that as a audience to target. For businesses this can be a very powerful tool, because it allows marketers to find a group of potential customers who are similar to current customers.

I just took a look at your site. I would strongly suggest that you focus on cleaning up some of the content on your site before you worry about traffic. You may need to invest in getting some help from a native English speaker because right now your content is very hard to read and understand. I'm not trying to be negative but helpful.

Good luck.

My advice to you:

Definately ensure your content is checked for spelling and grammar errors and ensure you are writing to your target audience. Content that is poorly written is off putting, I agree with Mark — you may want to get your marketing content re-written by a native English speaker to ensure it flows and resonates with your reader.

Once you have this perfect - ways to advertise your business that I would recommend:

Facebook - ads are great, I think this would work for your business
Instagram - sharing lots of images and success stories would work well on this platform
Google Ads - would work well if you are targeting your specific geographical area and keywords

Plus:

Testimonials on your website
SMS advertising or campaigns to your registered customers / subscribers could work
Content and blogs regularly added to your website and social media platforms

Good luck with your business...

I think Facebook is the best platform for getting targeted traffic. Facebook is the supreme social network in terms of user base. If you don’t optimize Facebook for your business, then now is the time to start.

Facebook and Twitter are the best social sites to get the traffic to your site. LinkedIn is also helpful for business purpose and delicious is good for bookmarking. But before these all things you do you should check your website carefully check blogs grammatically and your website should be attractive and make sure you done On page SEO on your site. It plays an important role to increase traffic to your site.

Facebook is best of all these as you can target people by putting a lot of filters and particular area with interest matching your business.

Also, blog extensively, about two posts a day and get a lot of traffic there with the help of Facebook, make a facebook page and boost your links from there.

Reddit is also a good place to get targetted traffic; you can go and submit a link there but don't submit more than ten links to the same website by same ID or it will be banned.

Start by Facebook, get traffic on blogs and if it's good people will share the posts themselves getting you engagement.

You can also use facebook to provide offers and send customers to sales page.

It really depends on what works well with you. But I guess it would be Facebook since it is crowded with lots of potential customers.

I think! For getting best movement to your site you ought to add on Facebook, Twitter, Google+. And also you ought to do SEO of your site.

I keep thinking that using Facebook and Twitter is considered to be the best way to get huge traffic to your website. All you need is to go with SMM strategy and it will definitely get a great number of visitors to your website.

Different social sites is being used for different purpose and your targeted customers. You need to know who are your audience and what your products are so that you can pinch the right audience quickly and easily.

Facebook , Reddit , Stumbleupon , twitter

Add tweetable quotes throughout your blog posts. One of my most popular blog posts on Quick Sprout was a post on business advice, in which I broke down business advice in 3 words. I hate to say it, but the post wasn’t that good. The reason it did well was because I made quotes and phrases from that blog post tweetable. You could tweet every piece of advice I gave with just a click. It was so successful that the post generated 17,452 visits from Twitter alone. You too can do this. You’ll find that you’ll get more social media traffic from this strategy than just adding a “tweet this” button at the bottom of your blog post. With some basic HTML, you can add this to your site.

Personally I've had great success with twitter and Instagram for my company

Focus on big networks like the following:

From these 2 site I get the most traffic.

As my thought, Facebook is boss platform to get huge traffic! You can create a page and group with your niche. Post useful and then recieve traffics! Simple! You can also choose paid advertising on facebook to get also some quality traffic.

I have personally didn't do much experiments on these platforms besides Facebook.

But some of my mentors who are making 8 figures a year have taught me that Facebook Ads are one of the most powerful ways to get your message across the right people.

If you go to Ads Manager in Facebook, you will see as aligouda mentioned, several factors that can help you find the customers you are looking for. Once you identify those characteristics, Facebook will make sure that only those particular type of people will see your ad and voila, if you did a good job with image design and text in your fb ad post, they will click.

If you don't know how to make good facebook ads, I highly recommend buying this book: No BS Guide to Direct Response Social Media Marketing By Dan Kennedy and Kim Walsh-Phillips.

Good luck!

My vote is also for Facebook. It has lot of filters & hence can generate huge traffic.

In small and medium business, social media, especially Facebook, helps your business a lot. It's not only get traffic, get engagements, get visitor via social its also help you to build your brand awareness, sell your products, your services quickly with cheaper cost. With Facebook, there have many types of advertisement on it and base on your business you want, you can run each ads types belong to it, example: CPC, Boost post, Get like, Get lead, video view,...

Pinterest has the best targeting. You can post pics of the dogs and the links will lead back to your blog or website. I recommend setting up an email list with autoresponder. The email series can be all about the dog niche. These can be set up to deliver on auto pilot with said autoresponder. Then recommend your products/services or products you are an affiliate of, as long as they provide great value to your audience. On Pinterest you create boards and pins that are related to your niche so when people click on them, they have already shown interest in your area and are therefore hot leads...

If your niche is dog training, Facebook Ads is the best traffic source out there because it will allow you to target people interested in dog training

I have great success with Facebook and Twitter for my website

Facebook has the best ad targeting options of any ad platform
