bit dense but is social networking on the web, the likes of Facebook, Myspace, linkedin etc or is everyone discussing postings on bulletin boards on Yahoo or Google?

I have never seen reviews of products, stores, people, merchandise on linkedin or face

I think that many organizations are missing the real opportunity here. Companies can generate real revenue if they take advantage of their inherent market position. Everyone organization should try to answer these five questions:

Do you act as a broker of goods or services?
Do you provide content or advice to a significant percentage of a specific industry or consumer segment?
Are you facing new competitors who generate revenue by aggregating audience around your content or by providing meta-content?
Do you have data or knowledge within your organization that is obscure to your clients?
Do you serve an audience that is highly fragmented?

If the answer is yes, then they have a real revenue opportunity. I have written a lot more about this in my blog. Check it out. http://edgewatertech.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/generating-revenue-through-social-networks-part-i/

I forgot to mention that you should periodically go back and make minor changes so it doesn’t look like a spam blog or anything. But then again if you give good info, you have nothing to worry about.

Morgan, I have seen this work very well if the social network sites you sign up for all have your keywords in them. This way the traffic is targeted.

Not all social media sites are created equal but there certainly are hundreds of them out there to choose from. Make sure to design your site around your keywords and give good information then join a few groups in that network. This takes some work but if you do what was mentioned above and only do one a week you will see huge results.

We’ve tried this tactic and it’s still too early to tell. You can build traffic with this method, but does it translate into sales?

Just like any marketing strategy, you want to have a good “MIX” so that you don’t leave anybody out. I have personally signed up and wrote about my service on 75 different social networks.

Of course it’s not my ONLY marketing strategy but one that I have seen bring me a ton of business. I recommend using it, not because some “guru” out there told you to but because I have personally seen it work.

I would have to agree with the point about “online Sales”…

… but I would have to point out that Social Media Marketing presents the easiest and fastest way to rank high in Search Engines which for keywords that would take a very long time for a new site which…

1. Generates Traffic Like Crazy To Social Page
2. If Properly Set up With Links Will Drive People Back To Your $$ Site
3. Builds Your Brand By Showing Your Expertize

Social Marketing is just a way to “Drive Traffic” back to a site where sales can be generated!

To me Social Marketing is the Middleman not the actual $$ Maker!

Maybe I am misunderstanding the point here…

Either way, Love The Blog and Convo’s being had daily…

Thanks

I too am involved in the project of getting our blog and sites noticed. I’ve spent an enormous amount of time in the past few months on these sites and hope these efforts will pan out.

I guess I’m late to the party. My brother Dennis and I are here to try and learn from the master. We are currently – living this blog post as we try our hand at building http://clecontactlenses.com by getting active on digg, propeller, reddit, twitter as well as other “social networking” sites. Jury is still out as to how effective our time spent has been. What I can say is that we have significantly improved the sites position ranking on alexa in the last few weeks by our teams efforts. Keep the faith !
