It’s seems as though Social Media has definitely evolved over the past couple of years since this article was written. I defintely agree that getting your site on Stumble, Digg, Reddit etc.. are at times only quick means of traffic, but they still establish brand recognition possible subscribers.

Thats true organic traffic always works best,i believe social media is actually about interaction with people it should not be compared to organic methods.

I agree with you, social media traffic is a joke when it comes to internet marketing and especially affiliate marketing. A blogger might benefit from bursts of untargeted traffic but a marketer Is seriously wasting time over at the social network sites. You need 10k uniques a day to make 50-100 bucks and someday you make no money on 10k unique social browsers. To sell products online you must have target traffic and that is organic traffic only. Nice post Matt.

Hi Matt!
You got a very nice and detailed information here. I also like your insights about marketing, which I agree to be absolutely true.
You said that “Marketing has always taken more than a single channel…” While this is in fact very true, many internet marketers fails to see this. They are much more focused on building up their SEOs rather than building relationships and TRUST with their consumers. SEO alone cannot give you the riches and success you want. As Matt said, it is an “invested approach”, a long process. But with patience you will definitely get there.

Great reading. Excellent analysis. I completely agree with you, especially your comments. It really depends on what you expect out of social media marketing and what your goals are, as to whether or not it will work for you – the way you intend it to.

Great informative post with exact figures and charts.
Social media main purpose is not just to drive traffic to the website. But to engage well in conversations. In some ways, companies had actually started taking social media to become their marketing and to create brand awareness. Companies had also use social media as a communicating channel to learn from their customers (to get their feedback, problems after using the company product), employees (to know exactly what is going on in the company) and etc.
I strongly believe that social media will be the upcoming trend for all individuals and companies to participate in it.
