Best Ways to Increase Social Media Popularity
- Thread starter FDC
- Start date
With social media sites you need to realize that there is a very specific group of people that actually visit these sites, then there is a whole bunch of people that try to market to these sites. Niches such as real estate which are ultra-saturated would never do too well with these communities due to the number of marketers vs. number of interested visitors.
As far as free backlinks go through, I would use Digg, Jumptags, and Del.ico.us and I would use StumbleUpon for some free traffic.

Yep, these sites are quite useful to drive traffic to your site. Well, you can also try twitter.com Try to find users who are interested in real estate, follow them and promote your site over there.

Traffic isn't the only thing you get from social media sites...in fact that's a very limiting mindset.
Personally...I have built relationships that have accounted for a great deal of income over the last two years using these sites. Think networking, seminar mentality stuff. I use whatever sites I can...Facebook...Digg...Twitter...Reddit...etc...etc... to accomplish this. You could even find a Real Estate specific social network...as they are popping up more and more now (Ning anyone?).
Yes, you can get backlinks...traffic...and the like once you have prepared content that the specific community enjoys and start building relationships.
To gain maximum results with social sites...you have to be social...and ditch the "instant gratification" mindset if you have it IMHO.

The social media sites are great, but it also depends on what your trying to bring to it. I have used twitter and facebook with some success as i just started the pages at the beginning of last month. You have to stick to it and not be fooled into thinking its going to be super easy.
Plus if your just looking for traffic, social sites isnt the way to go for you, you cant just post once and walk away you have to stick with it and make a plan to have fresh content and idea's for social media sites. For real estate, have you thought about using a video site like youtube, make something catchy and interesting?
