How does it work?

Question

Facebook: a good social tool for traffic?
I've heard of people joining facebook groups to drive traffic to their site. Any input regarding this? does it work well? is it hard? how does it work?

Please share your opinions

Answer 1

Sure, this can work if you don't come across pushy and just out for business. Same with twitter. Use it as another avenue to post useful information with links to your site. Blatent link blasting won't get you anywhere. Add value and make it interesting, they will come!

Answer 2

In order to win costumers for your business using Facebook or even other social networking site like Twitter time is a must, your post should be relevant to what you offer on your site or business and you have to respond as soon as you can to every inquiry posted by friends for Facebook and followers for Twitter.

Answer 3

That depends very much on the type of site that you're trying to get traffic for. Is it a business to business service or a business to consumer? Are you offering a service or are you selling a physical product? What's your target age?

There are a million questions that will dictate where the best place to find your target audience is.
