Social Networking


Social Networks, like Myspace, Squidoo, etc…are a great way to get your ideas and products in front of a lot of eyeballs.

Most (if not all) of these places allow you to create a “profile” that
people will see. Inside that profile, you can (carefully) direct your
traffic to either you main sites or directly to your products.

There are many social networking services operated like Orkut.com, MySpace, Facebook, etc. Orkut.com is being operated by Google.

MySpace is an online community that lets you meet your friends' friends. These are popular sites especially among youths.

Here people come into contact with each other and build up relations
whether personal or business. There is a provision of creating a
private community on MySpace and share photos, journals and interests
with your growing network of mutual friends. We can judge the
popularity of these sites by seeing their ranking in Alexa. Orkut has been steadily rising on the Alexa charts but MySpace is still significantly bigger than Orkut.com.

MySpace is for everyone:
1) Friends who want to talk Online
2) Single people who want to meet other Singles
3) Matchmakers who want to connect their friends with other friends
4) Families who want to keep in touch--map your Family Tree
5) Business people and co-workers interested in networking
6) Classmates and study partners

I would suggest that you interact with the networks and gently push your traffic to your main sites/products.

Otherwise, you will get a reputation as a spammer and your profile deleted. So, be careful!!
