Seriously though, read the forums, every article is a tip!!!

social bookmarking sites are the best to have short term high traffic... they work good.

Social media is great for traffic... but it is notoriously poor as far as conversion rates. One truly needs to understand the goals of the program to really get anything out of it. SMM is also not an overnight thing (unless U know a power user).

One should also have aligned their cross over programs with thier SMM to fully realize it's value. These include;

SEO
Customer Service Management (CRM)
Research and Development (R&D)
Reputation Management

The main purpose of Social Media Marketing is branding/authority building and the above are secondary considerations to leverage other departments and maximize the budgets therein.

For those that missed it, read up on the Value of Social Media Marketing.

It is not a one trick pony, nor is it primarily about conversions.... one needs to have a plan before simply spamming social media/networks with their pages and ultimately polute the brand and create reputation management issues....

Yes too true... you can get high traffic through social media sites but really poor conversion rates
I would explain with an example...
A single promotional page on my site gets 100s of visitors per day through social media site, but the bounce rate is always in 90s
I am trying hard to optimize my page to bring that in 80s,
what I did was... I just happen to re arrange my links where the people would end up... and added eye catching images over the links.
At the very bottom of the page I added the ads, that would catch the attention when the person in through with the content. Would you believe, a bottom leaderboard gets me conversions....
So the idea is... you can get high amount of traffic from social media sites and hold on to that traffic by just studying the traffic trends and using design tips to flow that traffic to other areas.

plus I used the traffic exchange system on these pages, now this is sheer multiplication of the traffic and I can target that traffic to anywhere I like.

Hope that helps....
Social media sites are the best way to get the traffic with a minimum effort, you just have to find ways to use that traffic for your benefit.
