3 years back, the best solution to get a better ranking for your website was achieved by integrating right SEO techniques onto your webpages. Good ranking on search engines was the only solution to generate traffic. This gave rise to various Search Engine Optimization companies and specialists, even web hosting companies bundled SEO services as a part of their offering. However, today the times have changed and Social media is new and indeed a promising media.

The Need for Social Media Marketing

Social media is comprised of multiple social networking sites. Today every segment has its own dedicated social networking site. For example, if you are a photographer then Flickr is option for you, for video – Youtube and Vimeo are popular. For business professionals, LinkedIn and Xing are powerful networking tools. And not to forget, today Facebook is the king of all social networking sites.

With social media you have the option to reach your target audience in a shorter time. Social media is all about action, interaction and feedback. Social Media platforms have a visual appeal attached to them and hence they got popular so soon.

Search engines have understood the importance of social media and hence you will notice that for every keyword that you search, the search result page also includes entries from social networking sites. This rightly gives us an indication that for successful online business, social media marketing is also important.

2. Create an account and make sure that your profile is at least 95% complete.

4. Do some research on points that you plan to discuss with the members on the social networking site. Make sure that you have the most updated information and also how it could help fellow members when you share it with them.
5. Once you start sharing your views, people might start questing you or ask for your suggestions. Be prepared to answer them. Give references, examples to validate your points and opinion.
6. By the means of above 5 steps, you have tried to create a niche for yourself and your business amongst your target audience. This will help spread awareness about you and your business. This is just the first step, and the journey ahead is truly promising provided you are on the right track.

Google+ is a brand new social networking service operated by Internet giant Google. The service launched on June 28, 2011, in an invite-only testing phase. On June 29, 2011, existing users were allowed to invite friends to the service to create their own accounts. However, this was quickly suspended in a day after there was “insane demand” for accounts.

Google+ will be built as a layer that not only integrates different Google social services, such as Google Profiles and Google Buzz, but also introduces many new features including Circles, Hangouts, Sparks and Huddles. Google+ will also be available as a Desktop application and as an application on Android and iOS. Unlike Facebook, Google+ allows you to export your data that can be used on another site.

Google+ Features

• “Circles”
  enables users to organize contacts into groups for sharing, across multiple of its products and services. A drag-and-drop interface allows users into groups of their choice.
• “Huddle”
  is a feature available to Android, iPhone, and SMS devices for communicating with circles.
• “Hangouts”
  are places used to facilitate group video chat (with a maximum of 10 people participating in a single Hangout at any point of time). However, anyone on the web could potentially join-in into the ‘Hangout’ if they happen to possess the unique url of the Hangout.
• “Instant Upload”
  is specific to Android mobile devices; it stores photos or video in a private album for sharing later.
• “Sparks”
  is a front-end to Google Search, enabling user to identify topics they might be interested in sharing with others; “featured interests” sparks are also available, based on topics others globally are finding interesting.
• Through “Streams”
  users see updates from those in their circles, updates similar to Facebook’s news feed. The input box allows users to enter a status update or use icons to upload and share photo and videos.
