If you haven't used Social Networking to funnel traffic back to your site or blog, then you've obviously been missing out on a ton of high converting traffic.
You see....Social Networking takes relationship building to the next level by creating a very interactive atmosphere for you and your future leads. People want to know who they are buying from and who they are dealing with, especially in business.
Problem: For a while now the problem with online business was that people only knew you through a name and through the emails you sent out. While there is nothing wrong with that, it took longer for you to build relationships on a personal level.
Now there is nothing new about social networking, except that it is moving online more now. Think about the offline businesses where there is a storefront. While you may not know the sales man you are dealing with or the owner, there is more of a personal touch there at least on most levels.
With that said, as I mentioned earlier, Social Networking sites "online" take it to the next level by allowing your prospective leads to see you, know a little more about you, and it gives them that personal touch to who you and your business are. Of course that helps you build relationships at a faster rate.
Now you've seen sites like Facebook, Myspace, and many others that have grown with rapid speed in the last few years. This is due to that social networking aspect and the building of a community.
