Social Media Marketing

With the ever growing popularity of web 2.0 social media sites like Youtube, facebook and myspace comes an opportunity to attract visitors to your site from these giants. But the question that remains is how well does that kind of traffic convert. The people over at stompernet say social media traffic will convert into sales, but several articles in the WJ say that even Youtube is struggling to generate revenue from its users. From my own experience i know that i cannot depend on social media traffic ALONE to get results. In my opinion getting traffic from social sites wont hurt, but don’t spend 80% of your time on efforts that bring in 20% of your results.
