How much time do you spend at your favorite social website.
I am talking about sites like My Space, Facebook, Twitter
and so on.
I am not a person who spends much time on social
networking. I do blog and social bookmark, but I hardly
ever go to a Social site such as Facebook or Twitter. I do
still enjoy the search engine traffic I get however. I
happen to believe that search engines still do matter to
your Internet business.
Here's why!
When I look at my Google Analytics stats I see that over
half of my traffic comes every day from search engines. Now
granted I have spent a lot of time in the past couple of
years mastering search engine optimization techniques and
targeting keyword phrases in the forms of article
marketing, inner web pages, and blog posts.
What is interesting is how many of the these still continue
to bring me traffic long after I have initially written
them. I have found that you can literally be on page 1 of
Google for hundreds of keywords if you do it properly. And
once you get there you can stay if you are targeting lesser
searched keywords. These are phrases that contain several
keywords. Sometimes they are referred to as longtail
keyword phrases.
The problem I have with social networking is the time that
it takes to do it on a daily basis. I know people who do
very well in social networks such as MySpace, Facebook and
Direct Matches. They personally relate to this type of
marketing and have learned how to do it successfully.
This seems to be a harder way to develop long term traffic
however. If you are not active you are going to get
forgotten.
It could be a great way to make contacts for joint ventures
or network marketing businesses so you have to decide what
your goals are with your business.
However, in the long run it still is beneficial to have
traffic coming to you via search engines. Google, Yahoo,
and MSN are just too large of companies to ignore. One way
that does work are article marketing.
Getting a lot of articles online in the top directories can
really pay off in traffic and search engine bait. Of course
you have to learn how to write articles or hirer someone to
write for you.
However you do it figuring out ways to enjoy some of this
search engine traffic is good for your business.
