Chris Thomas, chief executive of SEO firm Reseo says “2010 will be the year in which businesses must jump on social media or risk being left behind by the competition”.
If you don’t have a Facebook fan page you should get in, and if you’re in a community-minded space, where you can offer things like competitions and such, then you’re set.
James Griffin, founder and chief executive of online reputation management company SR7, says this year will see the rise of analysts who will start convincing businesses to study, track and shift operations into social media.

Promoting your site on various social websites through one’s own profile can attract huge traffic. I had a blog which was not receiving any comments but after the moment I tried to engage into social networking through the Facebook and the Twitter, my posts received comments and complements in large number. Other sites in similar niche were more eager to complement.
Maintaining identity in social media sites is the most important activity to be done for extreme benefits. Though it is time consuming, the profits are huge. You are able to attract large number of quality back links from many different sites which further goes on to prove beneficial for good SEO and page ranking.
Moreover, as the strategy of using Facebook and others for gaining popularity over the web does not cost anything to you. On the other hand, submitting banners would likely charge you a fortune. Also, with your growing network over social media sites, you will continue winning an added advantage of a continuous rising count of advertisers working for you, directly or indirectly.
