Instead, your link gets lost in an ocean. I believe that as more niche sites pop up they'll be more effective for everyone involved. For example, I just stumbled across a new site called BizSugar.com that only focuses on small businesses, which is my target market. According to their site they haven't even officially launched yet, but I hope more sites like this get started.

Most of these sites have a Blog or some way for you to leave comments. I use these in one major way. Posting my articles I write to promote my business. Most of these sites users consists of the younger generation. They are not interested in being approached to purchase a product. I write my articles with a humorous twist, so I think thats why Im enjoying a influx of visitors and even some purchases. Granted there are alot of these sites out there, and I should remind you all of one important item. Do not try in any way to repeatedly push your products or yourself on anyone. These sites are monitored very closely for Pedies and other unsavory characters.. I spend time looking for friends my age and in my niche. I join their groups and maintain a presense. I also do not use my business Bio at these sites. I used a toned down, more personal one. Lastly, do not reply to proposed contacts to get together or communicate in a different area such as a phone. These are Phishing attempts. One last comment, I think these sites are great. The Internet was invented for the sharing of info.
