    If they are leaving your site instantly then it proves that you are not providing what they want or what they may find interesting to come back..So provide interesting posts..

    First you want to make sure that you have a lot of interesting and quality stuff for visitors to read and engage
    If you website is related to professional services, Marketing, you better join Linkedin, facebook, twitter,
    Try to join some groups related to your niche in linkedin and facebook, try to post some quality stuff there and then engage with users there..

    If you have entertainment site then use Stumbleupon, facebook and pinterest

    Stumbleupon can give you sudden blast of traffic but you need to make sure your post is really interesting only then there will be more chances fo your post going viral, posts like "Top 10 beautiful islands to visit" " Top 10 mountains you must visit" can easily go viral on stumbleupon, so it will mostly depends how much effort you can put in building up quality stuff on your site

    Facebook's Alexa ranking is higher than Twitter's. For beginner marketers, FB will allow you a better way to engage in active marketing.

    Facebook and Twitter but the traffic from there will never be as good as Google search traffic for the simple fact that they may not be looking for what you have to offer on your site.

    Join as many groups that are related to your niche on Facebook as possible. Then post frequently on those groups regarding new posts on your blog. Make sure the individuals who read your group posts understand what THEY will get from visiting your blog and reading whichever post you are promoting. There has to be something in it for them or they won't have much interest.

    Obviously the big social networks such as Twitter and Facebook work. However a secret that a lot of people don't usually address is Reddit. There really aren't very many marketers on there and the simple fact ends up being that if you post at an optimum time of the day; (find this on Google or the Pinterest Technology page) then you can immediately have A LOT of eyes on you. Click here and you'll see the most visited sections of Reddit. Just make sure you follow their rules and don't just post a link anywhere. Make it relevant too. For instance for a weight loss blog, go to "lose it" and post a 10 tip post on how to lose weight or something and as one of the tips, have your blog name. This can really add up traffic (I've averaged about 3,000-sometimes 10,000 people in a month from this) This also helps because it's targeted. I hope I helped!

    It depends what your blog is about and whom you are marketing your blog to, i.e. to those people who have interest regarding the subject of your blog. If you are going for non-relevant people, this won't work. Engagement works when there's relevancy and for this, FB, TW, G+, YoutTube, Pinterest, Stumble Upon, Digg, LinkedIn, etc. will work best for you when you meet with the relevancy.

    It sounds from your post that you have no problem attracting people to your blog from social media and the problem is that they don't stick around. From that two questions could be asked - (1) Are the people you are engaging with on social media interested in what your blog is about? and if yes, (2) Is there anything you can do to make your content more engaging?
    Have you checked out the most popular blogs in your market to see what they are doing, that may give you some hints as to what is popular and engaging in your market.

    What are those social networking sites you have tried already?
    How did you use social media for attracting visitors?
    I think you can get more people to go to your site if you have joined a lot of groups (like Linkedin or Facebook). You can also try Google Plus for driving traffic as its proven to work really well.

    I have to agree with project1010, Facebook and Twitter are your best source for social networking. People do go in and out of these site pretty quickly though as I have also noticed because most peoples attention spans are like a hamsters . My suggestion to you is, try changing your copy, try making it more eye catching, it doesn't have to be long, short and sweet works just as well. But to answer your question, I would stick with FB, lots of eyeballs there.

    First make you sure you provide quality contents which are informative and effective. This is how people will spend their time on your blog.

    Your social profile should be attractive and engaging as well. I think initially use facebook, twitter and google+. If your content has quality then it will be easy to get traffic from social networks.

    I suggest focus on LinkedIn and Pinterest, it is the professional networking site. In LinkedIn join the groups about your blog topic and submit your post on their, And same as pinterest. Also follow other people pins in pinterest and add people in LinkedIn. In Pinterest their is option to share your post on facebook, so when you pin some thing Pinterest they automatically post in Facebook and In LinkedIn their is option to post in Twitter. By doing these you post 4 social networking sites and working on 2 sites.

    In my opinion you should know your target viewer first before you produce an article. This way you can intercept what they want. Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google + are social media sites that are very helpful to attract visitors. You also need a lot of patience and dedication when promoting you blog because there's no easy way to do it.

    I think the problem here is not getting traffic, it's retaining it since you are getting people but they leave as soon as they come. You need to work on retaining the people who come to your site. Give them reason to stay. This can be useful tutorials, great images, good videos or anything else.

    Are you writing the content of your website yourself or do you have someone else doing it for you. What kind of content is your website providing? are you targeting the right people for the Job?

    All social media sites, atleast the popular ones likes Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, Linked in, Reddit, and Stumble Upon, have potential to bring traffic to your website.
    It depends upon how well you use them, and how well you target.

    Each website has its own category of people using it. Facebook has almost everyone, pinterest has mostly women, tumblr has teen bloggers, and so on. If you can target properly, and you can get people's attention they're all great. It's all about your niche and your marketing skills.

    I think before advertising on Social media, you should craft a lead generation strategy i.e. if a visitor comes to your site via any source, you should try to build your list by some lead-bait i.e. free ebook, discount on your product or any other offer. Because otherwise, you are simply missing users that are coming (or will come) via any channel. Be known that MONEY IS IN THE LIST.

    2ndly, understand the essence of Social Media. Its to engage. Conversation about your content/product/niche is happening in social media sphere. You have to become a part of those conversations. These conversations are happening, in case of Facebook:
    1. Groups
    2. Pages

    So search them, join them, engage your target audience. Establish yourself an authority by delivering value to the conversations.
    Besides, the best and quickest way to get traffic on social media, primarily Facebook, is to run targeted ads on your page.Generate a community on your page relevant to your blog and engage them and promote your product/content subtly & contextually.
