Phew! 700 sites! I didn’t even realise there was anything close that that many social networking sites. I will certainly make use of this tip, I like many utilise the ‘established’ social networks, but I understand your point about picking up the niche audience – again a good one for ‘long tail’ types…

Excellent link. There are a few niches that do very well with Digg and other social networks, but a social network for a specific niche evens the playing field to a degree. It won’t give the mass traffic, but even better, it will bring in truly interested readers. One’s who may return regularly.

I really liked your post as always. I think that is also a great idea as well, mashable have a list of social networks too but it is fairly old now in comparison and doesn’t really have the comprehensive list since the boom in social media.

I’m interested in the fact you have registered for 700 social sites, you must have a lost of love to give out if you can be socialble over 700 sites :)

My preference is to concentrate on 2-3 bigger audience sites and build relationships rather than link building.

A very interesting point of view thanks

Nice article, loved the structure of your article seemed some what similiar to that of Darrens, great for either people reading thoroughly through it or scan reading it.

I think it would be more beneficial to join as many social media as possible because there are so many people out there.

This post came coincidentally because I just started doing just that yesterday. Good job. Now I feel even more motivated to do so.

I have to agree that 700 sites is pretty impressive. Also, just yesterday I gained two new subscribers just because of a comment I left on a website. It pays to spend the time. Also, I am getting more and more relevant traffic from Twitter. I worthwhile consideration for sure.

Cheers

I’m just starting my newest blog and I’m trying to get some traction via social networking sites. This is a great article that just reaffirms the value of getting yourself out there in the social realm.

In fact, just to further solidify your point, my small blog (although it is still in its infancy) is recieving some nice traffic and referrals from some of the social sites I’ve registered with. I don’t know if I’ll ever get to the 700 that you’re currently at though :)

Great article!

This is one of the best tips in recent times. I am going to devote 15 mins to add new friends on digg and stubleupon.

do you know about Brazen Careerist? Geared toward Gen Y.

I’m not even a Gen Yer and I find it very motivating and inspirational

Any vermicomposters out there? vermicomposters.ning.com is a fun, informative and active site.

Is it worth while to join any and all social networking sites or just the ones related to your niche either directly or by proxy? If you’ve joined 700 it seems you probably joined every one you came across but I’m wondering if there isn’t a point when the sheer numbers aren’t as important as carefully targeting the communities you join.
