Which social media is more effective to generate traffic..and how to make post to attract traffic on website..
#effective #generate #media #social #traffic
  • It depends on your niche, your market, and how well you create your content. Your niche and market should give you an idea of what social media accounts you'll need. And once you start posting, you'll need to fine tune your posts to figure out what formula generates the most amount of traffic for your site.

    Every social media is unique in their own way. It is not about the social media but it is about what business niche you are in and what strategies you have.

    Based on my personal experience, images and videos are the things that attracts people's attention on social media. So, as much as possible when marketing use images or videos.

    Hello, I can use: FB, Twitter, Linkedin, and my own blog and share their all my news!
    It is the main rules for your traffic:
    1. Good headlines
    2. The best content
    3. Address a niche
    4. Create shareable content
    5. Vary your article length
    6. Build good links

    What are you looking to do? Just choosing a social network isn't enough. Like most of the people here, I agree that Facebook and Twitter are the two most popular networks, but what do you do on those networks?

    Choose Facebook, for instance. Do you start a fan page, a business page, or a regular user page? What content do you upload? Do you upload content on your business which links to your website? Do you upload content on your field without links to your website? Do you quote other experts in your field? Do you post viral content that has nothing to do with your field or your website at all? Each of the above can get you traffic, or can leave you stagnant.

    Do you run an advertising campaign on Facebook? Do you boost your posts? What kind of budget do you have? What is a successful conversion for your website? How much are you willing to pay per click, per conversion?

    Asking "Which social media is more effective to generate traffic..and how to make post to attract traffic on website" is an extremely inefficient question, as the answers are myriad.

    Figuring out how to make posts to attract traffic to your website is something people with years of experience have trouble with, because there is no set formula. Each business is different, each website is different, each audience is different, each budget is different.

    Best advice I, or anyone here can give you, is to do one of two things:

    a) Take a lot of time, put in a lot of effort and try it on your own. Take into account that you will fail almost every single time until you find the formula that works for you.

    b) Find someone who does this professionally (not a problem at all), tell them what you want, and let them do the work for you. Take into account that this will cost you MUCH more than doing it on your own would.

    Let us know which you pick and how it works out for you

    It depends on you in which niche you are in.Every social platform has different-2 audience. If you go to Pinterest there you will find more than 87 percent are women and there woman oriented products works. Like health, cooking, weight loss, lifestyle, fashion related etc. If you go to linkedin there you will find all professionals related IT, Employer, Consultant I mean you know what I mean. Further Forrester Research found that Instagram had a fan engagement rate 58 times higher than Facebook and 120 times higher than Twitter.

    So everything depends on your niche and whats your strategy to reach to your audience. Traffic is everywhere. You just need to be specific and focus on one social platform where traffic is hanging out related to your niche.

  • It depends on your niche but the most popular options are Facebook and Twitter.

    Here are my top choices when it comes to promotions:
    1. Facebook - you can promote by means of FB ads and pages. For some reason some weight loss product links are not accepted for posting in FB (just something I have noticed from experience). FB is also a good place to get a video viral.
    2. Twitter - great for memes and images. The audience is also saturated but not all people have Twitter accounts though.
    3. Instagram - great for banter posts, memes and design and home improvement posts.
    4, Pinterest - also good for visual posts and products.

    Hope this helps!

    It depends on your audience. Where are your audience spending most of their time? What are their main interests, needs etc. For example, if my audience was stay at home mums, I'd be looking at Facebook (groups, pages, targeted advertising), forums such as NetMums, Pinterest.

    I'd firstly learn as much as possible about your audience and secondly look at each platform and assess suitability.

    Hi Gustavoc

    I think below mentioned social platforms would be my choice to promote.

    1. Instagram one of the best platform to generate traffic.
    2. Snapchat another unsaturated social platform that is growing day by day it would be good to look into in earlier stage to generate traffic.
    3.Facebook no doubt is great platform if done it correct
    4.Twitter - Another great platform.
    5. Pinterest - Good for women based niche.
    6. Linkedin work for providing services based niche
    7.Youtube one of the best platform really generate good traffic.

    Facebook is one of the most well known and used social media sites. Facebook provides online marketing tools, making it easier to approach your target audience and to develop marketing campaigns. A first step in using Facebook is to develop a Facebook page that allows your customer to ‘Like’ the page, post their views & reviews about products and services and provides a platform to promote and inform your customers about your latest offers.

      I wouldn't say "social media" but a social bookmarking site that generate a huge amount of traffic is Stumbleupon. You can get thousands of visitors going to your site.

      Warning: Post 1 link from your site for every 10-20 other sites you "Like" when you Stumble (Once you create an account, you'll know what I'm talking about). Or post 1 link to your site per week. Make sure you are posting other links from other sites that aren't yours so you won't be seen as a spammer. About a 1:10 ratio or 1:20 ratio.

    There is no doubt that Facebook is the best social media to generate traffic. Facebook has 1.5 billion users. So if you can promote effectively on Facebook, you will be able to get huge amount of traffic. But you have to promote effectively. Are you familiar with Facebook "Edge Rank"? Facebook "Edge Rank" determine how you promotion will work. So it is really important that you should have knowledge on Facebook "Edge Rank".

    generating traffic sometimes isnt enough - generated traffic of individuals who are not your audience is same as no traffic. In my opinion it all comes down to targeting your consumer and I do believe your consumer is always on social media. The current user comes across so many posts and advertisement that they filter it out (OBVIOUSLY) in that case marketer should be more stubborn and relentless and use ALL SOCIAL MEDIA (yes i said it) to share their content and should keep repeating it.

    I would say that the Social Media network that you have the most real engaged followers on, is the most effective network for driving traffic. Find out where you have the largest audience and understand how you can create content that will be interesting and engaging and start growing the audience you already have.

    Many people are afraid to use their facebook or linkedin accounts to dive traffic. So they go in search of other networks like twitter or pinterest, or develop new FB accounts and try to start from scratch.

    Utilize whatever network is going to get the best results for you. Start there, learn how to nurture and grown an audience and then move on.

    I for one never cared about the followers concept.

    People seriously try to build hives, and it takes up all their time to keep the crowd entertained.

    Somehow this is not what I try to achieve, and if there are better and faster ways to do that.

    I believe in the concept of "write it once" and distribute to many angle.

    So my audience is not as constant as with the hive people

    but I can repeat it as many times I want. And that pays off as well.

    It's not enough to generate great content and hope that individuals find it - you have to be proactive. One of the best ways to improve traffic to your website is to use social media channels to advertise your content. Twitter is best for short, snappy links, whereas Google+ promotion can help your site show up in personalized google search and appears specially effective in niches.

    Hi there, the best social sites would be facebook , twitter, instagram, etc there are many ways but the question stands here how to get the post or your effort in postings to get more traffic. i would like to give you an example, which is your favorite movie. you will have a name for that movie, so why do you like it, because you could relate to that movie and liked the movie because it was unique and got the features like eg. AVATAR, such a big hit..so were the movie makers they worked day and night and really worked hard to get things right for them and the movie was a super duper HIT. There is no shortcut to success..and along the way "WHAT, WHY and HOW" would be your greatest friends. That's how new discoveries are also made these triplets "WHAT, WHY and HOW" use them well. all the best.
