    Boris, this is a great chart and one I will be sure to share with many – not to mention, use it myself. I am curious though about your views of LinkedIn as being bad for building traffic. If you are a service business engaging with LinkedIn answers, etc., I have found that it can be useful for building traffic. Couldn't you say that it is contingent upon how a company uses LinkedIn?

    This is a wonderful guideline. Thank you for posting. I would like to warn people though that generalizations are just that and you have to consider the specifics of your company to make social media marketing determinations. For example, LI works really well for agencies and professionals on traffic driving, if they offer good and interesting content to other professionals.

    None of this matters if your customers aren't there! Infographic /= smart reasoning

    Its very informative article, but the success of a post of your blog or site depends on the quality, which is ultimate I think. The best way to have traffic from social media sites is to write the best you can and then push on the sites. Hope this is the only mantra more eye balls.

    Confused here…. It says Flickr will pass page rank… where? Same with del.icio.us? All the links are nofollow links which will not help in SEO. The best these sites can do is pass traffic and do what you suggest for Facebook – Bloggers picking up the content and linking to your site.

    Great roadmap! However, consider a z-axis. The z-axis would 'pull' content from multiple sources on your existing x and y-axis, combining them with internal marketing material, then 'pushing' the resulting as part of a marketing campaign (geoIP, market or time based). There are marketing platforms such as SmartSymbols Marketing Platform that already facilitate this. So, a z-axis would be most helpful. For example; Europe consumers don't do much with Twitter, so a geoIP marketing campaign for Europe using Twitter would be bad. Linkedin is more business related, so a marketing campaign for an individual or corporation using Linkedin is good.

    Thanks for this. especially the mLoovi info. I'm trying to create one out of Japanese news site RSS feeds. Don't know why, but couldn't get netvibes to recognize the mLoovi generated link to their Japanese translation of my own site's RSS feed.

    Regardless, I love the idea. I've been looking for something like this like, forever. Probably translations of feeds is too ambitious to start, so I'll think of something I've wanted to find blogs about in English and try this out. Later. After a break. (whew)

Ecrit par Romain | Actu, réseaux sociaux | Digg, facebook, réseaux sociaux, twitter, youtube Les réseaux sociaux prennent une place importante dans notre vie (facebook, twitter, youtube, flickR pour ne citer qu’eux) et il est devenu obligatoire pour chaque possesseur de sites/projets/marques d’être présent dessus. Cependant il est difficile de connaître le retour que l’on peut avoir de ces réseaux sociaux et surtout savoir ce qu’ils peuvent apporter en plus de votre site. L’image ci-dessus (cliquer dessus pour l’agrandir) tente de définir le retour que vous pouvez espérer de votre communauté.Par exemple, l’image explique que Facebook, Youtube et Twitter sont des très bons réseaux sociaux pour l’exposition de votre marque et la communication avec votre communauté. En effet, il est facile de mettre en avant votre marque, de promouvoir vos idées et de discuter avec votre communauté.  Cependant il ne permettent pas un retour énorme sur votre site.De la même manière Digg et StumbleUpon sont de bons réseaux pour amener du trafic sur votre site et donc des clients potentiels. FlickR est le réseau sur lequel être si vous partager des photos du fait de son bon référencement.Au final je trouve que l’image est plutôt bien réalisée et permet de synthétiser correctement le but de chaque réseau social, ce qui devrait vous faciliter la vie lors de votre introduction sur ce genre de sites.Source: The Next Web [...]
