Grant Mon, 01 Feb 2010 01:52:13 +0000 http://www.mpdailyfix.com/?p=21161#comment-46084 Dear Spunky - When you write, "As far as social media stuff, I just don’t see it working as a long term thing for targeted traffic," I'm not sure what you mean. Since social media, as I understand that term, includes blogs, are you saying that blogs have no influence on "organic web traffic"? I'm pretty sure they do (and I'm also pretty sure that that's the point of your site, right?). At the same time, I don't think that the sole or even main purpose of engagement with other social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) is generation of site traffic. In fact, these sites may in the end have the effect of making your individual site quasi-irrelevant (at least when compared to something like "web presence"). My $.02, Matt Dear Spunky -

However, people don't communicate much to me on Twitter, so I use it to find other blog niches that are related to my niche. Once I find some blogs that are closely related, I make comments on their blogs when they is a subject matter that is related my niche. Then, I add a quality comment that adds to their content that isn't spam filled. As far as social media stuff, I just don't see it working as a long term thing for targeted traffic. I get much better results with SEO Optimization that delivers organic web traffic from the three major search engines. Furthermore, it is less time consuming than trying to keep up with Twitter. Any suggestions of other social media sites that deliver quality targeted traffic without it consuming so much time?
