Social media sites like Digg and StumbleUpon are great for driving traffic to your web site. But there are literally hundreds of similar social media sites out there. Which ones should you focus your attention on?
You should first check your web analytics to see where you’re visitors are currently coming from.
If you see a large percentage of your visitors coming from Redit you should make sure that you bookmark your own posts on Redit since you have an audience on that site.
Then look for other social media sites that carry similar stories as the topic of your blog. Create an account on those sites, add your own stories and track the results. If you spend a lot of time adding your posts day after day and you don’t get any traffic from that source, then drop it and move on to the next social media site.
Your visitors collectively will discover and use more social media sites than you ever can by yourself. So continuously check your web analytics for new traffic sources and exploit those that work for your site.
How many social media sites have you tried? Do you track your results or just blindly attack as many as possible?
