With so many social networks to choose from their are some do's and don't's you should pay some attention to. Most if it makes perfect sense, but it's hopefully worth repeating.

Don't just join a social network for the purpose of dropping a load of links to your sites/pages. - This is often seen as spamming.

Do take part in discussions that you can contribute to. Be active and share your knowledge.

Only leave links to your site when relevant. A typical example of this is just replying to a thread, page, comment, etc, in order to leave your signature link behind.

When finding or joining a new network, don't aim to add all your links in fifty posts in thirty minutes. Some networks see this as spamming and will delete/lock your account. Do visit daily for a few weeks, look around the forums, and drop a couple of links a day or session if you have many links you wish to promote.

There are some networks that are quite active and don't care about leaving your links. Even myspace or hi5 will let you, if you know your thing. Try not to reach the limits everyday and you'll most likely be fine, also make your messages look as natural as possible.

What is the best social networking site?

I'm talking about the site where you can earn while making friends... just like yuwie.com
but there's a lot of spammer there that's why I'm asking for other site.

Hmmm I have never heard of these kind of sites. i am going to check them out and google it.

Honestly, I don't think they're worth it since you make so little. It's better to just use regular social networking sites to promote your sites and referral links and earn money that way.

Excellent post! Social network sites can be a very effective way to build your business/affiliate marketing. I can't stand it when I get my inbox loaded with other people's crap. I believe and use this method daily:

* Create a profile that has information about yourself and your business/affiliate product (where excepted since certain places such as Facebook will not let you do this) Myspace is fine with this among others.

* Create a group of your own and invite people to it.

* Join others related groups and begin to participate in them. Also, find the type of people you are looking for and invite them to be your friend. I invite at least 50 people a day to be my friend.

* Build a relationship with your new friends and DO NOT mention your business/affiliate product unless they ask about it. Keep emailing back and forth building that trust.

* Only advertise your business in the appropriate spots in each of your groups and only once a day or as specified by their guidelines.

* Be sure to add a journal/blog on your profile as this is fresh content and others will be reminded of you and your profile every time you post in it.

Stick with this method consistently each day and you will begin to see results.

i am agree with you, social networks have a lot of purposes depends on the people they are using them. for webmaster social networks are the tools for promoting and reaching their targeted audiance, because socila network is the best place where people from differetn geographical locations cam and share their ideas. the thing is that , webmaster should not use these network just to put their links, but they also should have interaction with people, sharing ideas and creating blogs. this show reality of the user using the site. so better to have normal interaction with the people in social network, they can get them great results.

Social network sites are the best platform where you can build your business and get lot of traffic from social media sites like Facebook,twitter,Linkedin,my space etc.

That would be very right! I really agree. When promoting something to the sites that is not owned by you, visit or comment like you are just a passer or a friend saying something that can help the readers or the authors theirselves, not just for the sake of having backlinks or site promotions that will make you a spammer.

One thing that I would definitely suggest if people are going to use social networks as their way of marketing is that they read the Rules and regulations or guidelines of the website. Some websites already lists the ways on how webmasters can make the most out of their websites, they just need to reed the guidelines (which is something that most webmasters do not do).

I am part of a site where you earn points (which you could later convert to actual shares) by just making referrals. Registration is free anyway. It's me2everyone, the one on my sig. Hope you could join under me. Cheers!

Hey Guys,

I am sure this social network has huge opportunities in term of product selling and referring traffic. Generally, I never buy any Followers or Fans because most of those services sell fake y spammy followers.

But I tried this website that claims to make your Pinterest profile gets real and targeted Pinterest Followers. Few days after my order, I could see that I had a huge increase in Pinterest Followers and that most of them are actually real-targeted (based on my keywords).
GOOD SURPRISE.

Cheers and good luck

This was an eye opener. I simply don't like my friends posting unnecessary links and asking us to share or like them. Its irritating. I have even unfriended some of them ( the not so close ones, of course ) In FB i have even blocked a lot of applications just to get rid of the requests. People should really learn social network ethics. I am so glad you all shared this. I am going to mail these to the very people who sent silly posts.
