facebook is the best website

 

Right now its Facebook and next is twitter, may be in future Google + can overtake.

 

Facebook is the best because it is experimented by thousands of businesses to promote their services and products. Moreover Facebook fan pages are doing tremendously well in search engines and common people love to interact with giant businesses via Facebook. Facebook is best for businesses because Facebook now has more than 770 million registered users which is a huge audience and businesses can target this huge audience to attract real and targeted customers. Customized Facebook fan pages are a real bonus which provide an opportunity to businesses to build an attractive and stylish presence.

 

Three ways you can affect your prominence today:

Offer some expertise in a blog post or Facebook post that is helpful to your audience.
Run a special for your Twitter followers.
Post a sign in your store that encourages users to check-in on Foursquare, Gowalla or Whrrl.
Yes, there’s claiming and optimization and all that to do, but those three will make you incrementally more prominent today.

 

ecademy and facebook will be better for business.

 

It depends on the nature of your business.......

If you are into digital media, it services, etc. then Linkedin and toostep are the best platforms.

However, if you are into fashion, lifestyle, product selling, etc. then I would recommend to go with Facebook

 

the most effective social network for you is a network were most of you customers are. For some businesses FB is good, for others it can Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace and so on

 

FB leads the war. It has a large number of users and provides better business opportunities as well.

 

I personally just use it to generate targeted traffic. Works wonders if you have a focused traffic for a niche.

 

First time i am hearing the name of the Ecademy thanks for the information

 

Another great thing about FB is that it helps get the ideas rolling because people actually talk. Businesses can take a cue here to learn very valuable information about how people perceive their company and products - it's almost like subliminal feedback.

 

ys here we can generate more unique visitors

 

facebook and twitter, they are very helpful...

 

As for a lot of here suggested to use facebook to promote your business, other social networking sites are good platform to promote your site like twitter and now google new social networking site which is google+. You just have to think of something that would make your target market to visit your site and if you're good in convincing viewers, then it's a sure profit. Also, try to interact with other social network users.

 

Definitely Facebook is the best. But I think we need to also Focus on Linked in because this is the Social Network for professional people. I am a web web developer and Social Media Marketer. For My Web development business I get good number of client from Linked in and for Social Media Marketing business I got lots of client from Facebook.. Though I got few client for web development from facebook too. Twitter also growing a lot. Even Twitter and Linked is much better to me rather then Facebook.

Thanks

For me it is still Facebook. Facebook has become the largest and widest social media network with over 750 millions of members. Businesses can find great opportunities with those huge number of members. They can use it for their branding, can market using their unique marketing style and technique, advertise, and promote. But they need to be aware with the essence of efficiency and reliability that's why they need to be consistent in their business profile, content, and way of communicating among of their people. And also with the help of other online tools such as web analytics that can help to measure my social media marketing output and social media monitoring tool that can boost my marketing activities and monitoring techniques, I can double up my marketing production and saves time and effort.

 

It depends user to user. Now first of all you have to calculate in which social media platform you have much more contacts. Then depending on this factor you will be able to promote your business. I think the most powerful social media platforms are Facebook and Twitter. If you have any one of it then you will have the big chance of generate good business.

 

Why? Because it makes sense that search engines would use social networking signals when ranking sites. (And that's just one of the reasons).

Where? I think you should go to as many places as possible to reach a greater audience.

 

Facebook and twitter can help you get traffic to your website.

Digg.com is good as well and helps out a lot.
