Especially if you have a blog related to local issues (restaurants, politics, etc.), Yelp may be a good one to check out. It furthers your status as an expert and allows you to drive traffic from people who are obviously interested in your topic.

My blog is targeted for International students who are planning/currently studying in U.S. I use orkut as primary source for marketting. I’m still exploring other possible options where International students hang out. I’m new to this blogging and its been fun time learning new tips and techniques from various probloggers.

1) Orkut
2) Yahoo Groups

Majority of my users are from India. I know there are equal num,ber of Chinese student too come to U.S. to study. Next, I have to find out a tipping source for students from China, Japan, ..

I love your posts. for beginning bloggers like me, it really helps.

I’ve found StumbleUpon to be really fun and interesting. I’ve found a lot of unique, imaginative stuff that would’ve been harder to find on my own.

I have a pownce account that I’m just now using regularly and having a bit of fun with as well. I’m hoping that Pownce will become as popular as Twitter. The only problem is that it can be really hard keeping up with all of these accounts.

Bumpzee is another one I came across fairly recently. It’s got a good Australian blogs community which has been great for meeting fellow Aussie bloggers.

I didn’t realise StumbleUpon had groups. I’m still grappling with how it all works and how involved I want to be.

I’ve never been able to get very far with promoting any of my websites. I just started a new blog to investigate that very problem. Looks like I’ll jump on here and follow this program.

There seems to be never ending announcements of launches of social networking sites, and this is a good trend. Newer sites are serving more narrow niche and providing their clients a valuable service.

Like Blogging, social networking and social media is a very positive trend.

My favorite is StumbleUpon because I do get most of my traffic from it and it has helped increased my blog alexa ranking.

I only been blogging for 3 weeks and my Alexa rank isn’t too bad :-)

YouTube is turning into a bigger and bigger social network. Matter of fact, they pretty much look like they’re knocking off Myspace, but it’s such a visual medium that once you get started with it, it’s hard to stop.

Imagine complimenting your blog with a weekly “behind the scenes” video or something.

The possibilities with the right “synergy” (to sound cliché) between all of them is really quite daunting actually!

I want to thank you for this post. I know that I am a ‘little fish’ in a big pond. However, just because I don’t swim with the big fishes…doesn’t mean that I should be ignored. Which is what many ‘big fish’ have been doing lately when they have written about ’social networking’ and I have left a question about it in the comments. Not one person has taken the time to answer…not even in the comments section. So thank you. For answering all the questions that I have had regarding this wide topic of social media and networking. It has been deeply appreciated and has given me a starting point. I would also like to state that although I am a ‘little’ fish, I have experienced an increase in my blog traffic by implementing only a few of your ‘building a better blog tips’. Although I am not setting out to be a whale, I do want to bring my blog up to it’s maximum potential. Thank you for helping me do this.

I think it’s important to realize how important social communities are in tying in your Personal Brand. The more talking points you have the better, but I recommend that you concentrate your efforts on social media networks that have a high installed base.

StumbleUpon and Technorati have proven to be the most helpful for my blog. *=)
