Many of us now, including me, are getting into social networking. Popular social networking sites like Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Perfspot, Tagged, Multiply, FriendFinder and other sites have lots of people who are addicted to it, by changing their profile, adding friends, photos, videos, applications or even chat with each other.

Don't you know that social networks helps us generate traffic? Why? Here are the things which you can generate traffic:

1. Profile page

2. Bulletins

3. Blogs

4. Groups

5. Private or group messaging

6. Chat rooms

7. Message boards

8. Banner or contextual advertising

9. Classified ads

10. Forums

11. Marketplace

And so much more!

Understand this, since there are millions of people who are now into social networking, you have a 15% to 35% that your profile, blog, ad, bulletin and message boards can be viewed. Groups are a lot potential than the others.

If you have millions of subscribers in your group, and every time you update your group with some topics to be discussed with your links on it, your group mates will be updated for sure, and they will check out your latest post, link and they will comment or share anything, or even suggestions.

In the marketplace like Facebook, you have a 20% to 30% chance that your item will be viewed by a fellow Facebook viewer or customer. They can make a deal with you, if only your item is really attractive. Contextual or banner advertising can be done by just paying them using your credit card information.

This is where you gain traffic on social networks, and if you keep promoting them, your potentials will increase. Don't just stick to one social network, but also you need many of them and keep adding more friends and group mates.
