This is a quick hit on the best social media sites we like to use here at SEO San Diego CA. While there are dozens of useful social media sites out there, there are only so many hours in the day to target each market effectively. Here are our favorite 8 social media sites, in order of most importance:

1. Facebook - is a fantastic way to drive business to your website via connections with the friends and colleagues you already have. When used correctly, sending a monthly mailer or email newsletter is no longer necessary.

2. Twitter - Offers real time updates to all of your friends and colleagues. When used properly, this can drive a lot of relevant traffic to your website. You can also ask questions relevant to your business and expand your professional network easily.

3. Wikipedia - is a great web tool to promote your business and educate your clients about your company and your profession. Having a page on Wikipedia can truly set you apart from your competition. Getting your page accepted can be a challenge. We recommend using an expert writer.

4. Digg - is a very popular tool for article writers who use this type of content marketing to drive traffic to their site.

5. LinkedIn - We like to call this the original Facebook! It is useful in the same way because people still use it.

6. YouTube - video marketing can be a very powerful tool for driving traffic. There are all sorts of ways to shoot videos and post them on video marketing sites (YouTube is one of many). Content is king though, so be very particular when you post a video as it will only drive traffic if it is relevant and useful.

7. Yelp - having your clients use this service to critique your company is a very valuable tool. People go to yelp often when they hear of a business to search for testimonials. Having great testimonials posted here is a great way to gain credibility.

8. Stumbleupon - is a very useful tool because it has nothing to do with keyword optimization. It has more to do with a "true" popularity contest where users from around the web recommend sites that might interest you.
