Social Networking Sites have existed for many years now and it is growing in a fast pace than ever before. So if you are a blogger or a website owner then you might be using some of these sites to connect with your users. If you are not then it is the right time to start off with your blog promotion through Social sites.
Everybody has got their own favorite social networking site in their list. So let’s discuss about some of these important sites which can help you in many ways. There are many Useful WordPress plugins that can help you in gaining more exposure on the web as well.
1) Facebook
The good thing about using Facebook for your website/blog promotion is that it is the largest social networking based site on the Internet. This can mean a lot to you and your website. You can connect with your users away from your website.
There is a good chance that many people who are on your blog will have a Facebook account. So you can create a community, fan page listing your website news and other important stuff. It is quite useful to use Facebook website promotion because it is the leading Social networking site currently and it is going to remain for a long time.
2) Twitter
It is the ultimate micro blogging site in the whole of Internet. With just 140 characters it rocked the world of marketing businesses on the web. It is as simple as following a person and getting information about your interest in the easiest form.
For a blogger it is essential to have a Twitter account dedicated to the website. It helps the blog readers to directly contact you with questions or queries about the blog or maybe the service that you offer.
3) Myspace
Myspace ruled the world of Social networking sites before Facebook took that place few years back. Ever since Myspace as changed a lot to be competitive in terms of its existence. I haven’t personally used it for business promotions mainly because there was no need for me to do it.
I understand that it is useful to receive good traffic from US and other developed countries. I will look into it in the coming few days and post some more detailed information about its effects.
Meanwhile If you have used Myspace for Blog promotion then feel free to comment on this post and share some useful inputs for all of us.
4) Orkut
Orkut is one of the most used Social networking sites in India. It is true with many other Asian countries and Brazil especially. You can use Orkut in a wide variety, including creating communities and joining other related communities to promote your website/blog.
You can also create a promotion widget or your community and it would be displayed on the other’s homepage. It is a very nice way to promote and gain some interested users through Orkut.
Surprisingly enough this website is used very less by the optimizers in promoting blogs or businesses. It has an Alexa rank of 964 in a very short time and is the third most visited site next to Orkut and Facebook in India. With 3.3 million visitors it is a very good idea for you to connect with people there and try to find ways to promote your blog.
Don’t spam in any of these Social networking sites simply because the people can report you and get you into trouble for doing so. Nothing serious but they can get your account banned, haha. So use it wisely and be clear with your motives.
I will make further posts regarding individual Social Networking Sites for your convenience. I will explain how a particular site can be explored in a way to make the most out of it and gain traffic to your WordPress blogs or any other for that matter.

Ye Orkut is losing popularity in the Global like you have mentioned. But in India it rocks.
It has huge chunk of visitors and they all benefit from various promotion methods done through the Orkut platform.
