Social Site marketing can really help you get some good traffic.
In fact if you do things right, you wont even need a site of your own.
You can just put everything on your page and promote to the millions of people on the sites.
Of course, nothing is ever that easy is it? The problem with these sites is simple.
Everyone is more concerned about being more famous, than actually being sociable.
The term 'MySpace whore' has evolved to describe these people.
It is a term that fits.
They are the ones most likely to send you friend requests, but unless you have a very interesting name or pic, they wont even bother to check you out.
All they want is more people in their friend list.
More pic comments, more page comments etc.
It's all about them.
This has made it very difficult to get anywhere with using these sites to market anything, no matter how good you might be.
They fill up the bulletin posts every minute.
They constantly rotate their status with messages.
You will have a very hard time getting a word in edge wise.
Self centered teens are the most common creatures you will encounter on MySpace, and most of the others too.
The benefits of using social sites to market a product are many, but do not fool yourself into thinking it's easy.
It will take a lot of time and frustration.
Be prepared to hack your way through the jungle to find the treasure.
