    Why most people haven't be successful with Social networks is that
    they keep spamming this networks instead of posting meaningful post.
    What I mean by meaningful is posting at least twice a week rather that
    spamming them with links to your site. People hate when they are be
    sold especially on social networking sites.
    But have work for me is by joining few active social networking sites and
    comment frequently while I share links from my site at least twice per week
    this way you will get high response to your links and people will see that
    you are willing to help them and not selling to.

    I use twitter quite a bit to post my blog posts which have relatively good content.... There is nothing flashy about my tweets, just the page title and URL and I am getting quite a few followers and page visits. My impression is that good content brings good results on a long term basis. Sometimes we are a bit to aggressive looking for the results and that can be damaging.

    Yes social networks are very effective . they SMO can help in getting the brand awareness and a trust for your product or service much easily as comparison to SEO. It takes around 3-4 months for getting in SERP results by organic SEO methods but by social media we can get results in couple of days only.
    The Fb paid ads are very effective .

    Yes, that's not easy to get the traffic via social networks, but it's still effective. You need to understand the requirement of your audience and have to come up with the great things that people love to share and explore.

    Agreed! I personally find Instagram to be the best traffic driver by far, while I think Facebook is becoming harder and harder to get value out of (for free).

    It's still more a tool of communication either with friends or fans imo.

    Social Networks are all about being Social and building a relationship with your audience. The catch Phrase is quality content for your target market. Apply this to your posts and share in front of your audience and you will get the engagement.

    If there was no worth today then there would be something else that would have replaced it. There is still a lot of value in it if you do it right. Think of MLMs. That is something that I would not want to invest my time in, yet people make money with them still.

    Definitely! social media is still effective. But don't use it only for your product marketing. Just think about this, if you have liked someone's page and there is post only about their products, will you like it anymore? build relation with people and ask them what they like and what they don't like. Coming to know about the test of people, post content based on it and relate your business with it. I am using this strategy for my website and getting 30% traffic from social media and 40% from organic search engine.

    In fake people profiles, lots of real profiles as a friend. You can target that people for traffic. You can build relation with them. it will help for your website as well as for your online relation.

    An interest rate of people who rather decide not to click on an ad is approximately the same on different wep sites. So it is known that the number of social network users is slightly bigger so I think that Social Networks are still effective. Try to solve your problem placing your ad in different sources like theme public pages etc.

    Social Networks are becoming more and more vital in a business. Our technologies are increasing and so are our communications on those technologies. Most definitely having a good core social network is vital in any business or industry. Start small. Build quality. Live what you post.

    It depends on how you optimize it, search for the right social media for your business, and of course paid services effective than free services. Good luck!
