Top Social Networking Site

Social Networking has become very popular during the past few years, but it can still be very difficult to understand for someone new to using social networking as part of their Internet Marketing plan. You need to decide on the best social networks sites for you and your organization to utilize.

Depending on the aim of your social media marketing campaign, you may want to build a community, increase your brand awareness, and focus on online lead generation or any number of other things. Consider the aim of your campaign when choosing the top social networking sites, because some sites will be more suitable to building a community, generating leads or making sales than others.

Before Facebook, the leading top social networking site was MySpace. However, because of the simplicity and functionality of Facebook, its audience has been constantly decreasing ever since. Compared to the 8.6 million unique visitors of Facebook in Australia, MySpace attracts only 2.1 million in early 2010.

Diggo is not only a social networking site; it is also a bookmarking site. With it users "Diggo" articles they enjoy and help those gain more popularity. Top sites make it to the front page where even more users can "Diggo" the article. Users can also comment, "Bury" articles they dislike and share with their friends.

Many recruiters are searching social media sites for candidates instead of posting positions on job boards. They check out potential candidates' profiles on LinkedIn before contacting them. In addition to creating a profile on LinkedIn, job seekers can raise their visibility on LinkedIn by participating in groups and answering questions on the Answers section on LinkedIn.
