Every business needs an online presence, if your business is online, then your website sure does need traffic. But would any traffic make your business grow? Less likely not. There is a major difference in having traffic and having potential traffic. Potential traffic is what your business actually needs to grow.
Here are some experienced way on how you can use Social Media to get the targeted traffic your business actually needs.
So let us first analyze what exactly would you call traffic. Anyone coming over to your website is considered as traffic. With expertise working for you, you can have hundreds and thousands of visitors per day. But this is not what you need. Unless you don’t have a targeted audience which turns into traffic, your business will not benefit. So the second thing here is ‘targeted traffic’. Targeted traffic is referred to the visitors who come to your website looking for what you actually deal with (or selling). For instance, a person is searching for laser printers online and he comes across a link ‘Buy your Laser Printer today’, he clicks on the link to come to a website which ...
... deals with Laser Printers. This is what you call targeted/potential traffic.
The best way to reach your audience is through Social Media Sites i.e. Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube etc. All you need to do is associate links in the social media sites with your web page. Let’s talk about Youtube first. According to statistics, Youtube receives more than 1 Billion views per day, most of which is directed through Search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, Msn etc. It works this way: if someone is looking for ‘How to paint a car’, search engines provide them first few results which are of videos. Technically, everybody would prefer a video to be guided on how to paint his car rather than a manual description. Hence the Youtube video comes right on top!
This is one way of getting your potential audience to your website. All you need is a small video of someone giving a small but informational demonstration on how to paint a car (for instance). The video should end with a link to your web page, giving them an idea that the website has complete details on paints and other related stuff (this is what your company officially deals with). Now the link directs the audience to your web page! As the people who will come to your website are interested in what you sell, they tend to be your targeted audience. So if instead people did come across your website in a traffic exchange, they might not have given much importance, this is what creates a difference.

There are other sites too, like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace which can help you reach your targeted audience and you can get good quality leads from there. The thing you need to avoid is to push your audience to go for your deals or offers as part of promotion. This will have a negative effect and will definitely shoo them off. Another mistake most of the companies make is they violate terms and conditions which eventually result in getting their pages deleted and it’s the last thing any business would want. . If you are looking for a long term business, you should keep it neutral.
