INTERNET MARKETING

LinkedIn is asking me if I want to participate in "groups" that are centered around my niche. Just curious if anyone takes part in these, as a component of an overall marketing campaign.

I fined that Linkedin Groups can drive targeted traffic. Join and participate, posting related blog posts to the group occasionally also works well.

Yes you should join them. I actually use them to drive traffic to my blog. Just be active and once in while share links to your blog posts.
I also use them to connect with relevant people.

  One of the best ways to start building your LinkedIn network is to join groups. The key is to not hesitate. Instead, jump in with both feet and start participating in discussions and making those connections. Make yourself a goal to add at least one new connection every day. Over time, the results will become evident.
  
  Thanks

I use them.

I do get some traffic from them. Don't over do it though.

  Depends on your niche really. Any company or sales site could probably do quite well on Linkedin, most groups for any other topic never normally does anything or hold any benefit.

Start your own group in your targeted niche! Be a leader, not a follower

I've never tried using it for traffic, however I do participate in one or two groups just for the sake of participating...

They're pretty boring and not that productive of a use of time IMHO.

I have joined some linkedin groups and you know it's a great way to expand your network. You can reach out to more people and if you build a relationship with them or form some sort of rapport, you may even sell them your products or services.
