The Bloggers Essential Guide To Social Media

For those unsure about the term, Social media is described on Wikipedia as follows "Social media is the interaction among people in which they create, share or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks - Wiki".In blogging Social media would refer to using Social Networks like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn and the many others as vehicles to promote your blog.

If I was to make a pie chart of the questions I have been asked in my eight years of blogging a big slice like the big slice of every birthday cake you dad always got  would be "How Do I Get More People To See My Blog?" . More Traffic/Visitors/Readers/Page Views/ use the term you want but if your pouring your heart into your blog you want people to see it.For so many years SEO (Search Engine Optimization) was the king, if you wanted to grow your blog Search Engines like Google were the prize to bring those eyes.Now this Blogger would still say SEO in general is more effective than Social media but boy has the gap closed.
