Twitter and Facebook are the two most popular social networks and in addition to having fun there, you can use them to get traffic to your site. Here are some tips of what you can do in order to make Twitter and Facebook drive traffic to your site.

Attractive Twitter/Facebook Profiles Drive a Lot of Traffic

The most important step you can take is to create an attractive profile. Of course, in addition to cool photos and a description of what a cool guy/girl you are, you should include the URL of you site. You also might want to include links to some particular pages on your site. When people like your profile, there is a much higher chance that they will be interested to learn more about you and they will visit your site.

A Large Network of Followers and Supporters Also Helps to Get Traffic to Your Site

Lots of friends is always a treasure but on social networking sites this can’t be more important. That is why you need to build a large network – preferably a targeted one. Building a large targeted network takes time but for a start you can invite your friends and business partners to follow you on Twitter/support you on Facebook. Additionally, you can also search for other Twitter/Facebook users, who have similar interests as yours and invite them to connect.

Socialize as Much as You Can

Maintaining a large network is very time consuming but if you want your followers/supporters to stay with you, you need to devote time to them. You need to socialize – i.e. read the posts of your followers/supporters, communicate with them, be active on their pages.

Regular Posts on Twitter and Facebook Bring Traffic to Your Site

One of the most important tips for getting traffic from Twitter and Facebook is to post regularly. When you post regularly, your followers/supporters will frequently visit your profile. If you post links to your site, many of your followers/supporters will be curious to check the link and this is directly traffic for you.

Use Twitter and Facebook Gadgets and Extensions

Twitter and especially Facebook offer tons of widgets you can use in order to get more traffic to your site. RSS feeds are the simplest form but there are also many others. Take your time and explore what is available.

For many bloggers and site owners Twitter and Facebook are the best ways to get traffic to their sites. When you combine your efforts to get traffic from Twitter and Facebook with activity on social bookmarking sites and good rankings in search engines, you will see you can get many visitors. If you have monetized your site with Google AdSense and if your site is in a profitable AdSense niche, all this traffic from Twitter, Facebook and the other places, will make you money.
