Shareaholic, a company that provides social sharing widgets\/buttons to websites, has reported Pintrest passing Yahoo to become the 4th biggest source of traffic for its clients.<\/p>\n
In case you’re wondering, Google is #1, Direct Traffic is #2 and Facebook takes the #3 spot.<\/p>\n
Now keep in mind that Shareaholic’s client base is about 200,000 websites. That’s doesn’t necessarily mean that this is true across the entire Internet.<\/p>\n
However, it fits the general truth that social outlets are producing a lot more traffic these days. You need to be there, too.<\/p>\n
Does that meant that you have to use every social media and network out there? No, just the ones that make sense.<\/p>\n
A lot of businesses don’t necessarily need a Twitter presence, for example. Others do.<\/p>\n
Also keep in mind that sharing your content and getting Likes\/Votes\/+1s for that is being used in Google’s ranking algorithm.<\/p>\n
That alone should get you to start taking social media marketing more seriously.<\/p>\n
Figure out which social networks make sense for you and your business, how to use them correctly, and start getting social!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
