		<description>I found my the 2 best ways I&#039;ve received social media traffic is from Yahoo Answers and YouTube. 

(1)My Youtube username is the as my domain: FormerTROJANcom and comment to 10-20 post a day. 

(2)As for Yahoo Answers, I comment 15 questions a day and attempt to answer the question in a well-written-thoughtful-answer. The key is to be selected for best answer and being a successful answerer in your field. 

My 2 Cent
Cheers,

		<description>Very solid suggestions here; especially Steven Bradley&#039;s call for marketers to become very familiar with the environments before launching in (sounds obvious but i&#039;m constantly surprised by how this isn&#039;t followed by marketers).

I think that a discussion of social media smarts could also include how to abolish some of the myths of marketing within social media - my colleague has a good list at http://www.rtcrm.com/blog/2008/11/17/5-myths-of-social-media-marketing/</description>

		<description>[...] Online Marketing Blog asked some of the top online marketing gurus how they would get the most out of the social media sites that are the current Internet rave. These experts provided tips for working Twitter, Del.icio.us, MyBlogLog, Flickr and Facebook, among others:  If you want to be successful on Facebook you either need a viral application and/or you will have to spend thousands on advertising. An easy way to think of a viral application is what features does Facebook lack or how can you improve on their current set of features. If you want to go the advertising route, you can pay companies like RockYou 50 cents for every installation they drive. [...]</description>

		<description>Great tips. One great thing about many social media sites, like squidoo for instance, is that they often have a top viewed pages in category list. By simply promoting a new page  (or lens) you can push it to the top of these lists where they will quickly take on a life of their own. If you use PPC to promote the new page, once you&#039;ve reached the top ranks you can often redirect your PPC $ elsewhere and the authority your page has by being top viewed will often carry it, provided the content is good.</description>

		<description>Social Media and Real Estate are really starting to come together. The Active Rain blog site that I am involved with is a terrific vehicle to not only promote my expertise locally but to network with other excellent Realtors throughout the country. A few other sites worth exploring are naymz - another linkedin type site for reputable professionals, and Gooruze - A site that discuss social media marketing and the internet.</description>
