Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are tools that can be used to boost traffic to one’s site.  These sites have millions of subscribers that can potentially visit your site.  For example, on Facebook, one can create a fan page or group page to let people know about one’s website.  If people like the website’s facebook profile, fan page, or group, they will more than likely visit the website.  With a twitter account, one can interact with current customers and potential visitors with short 140 character messages.  The more interactive one is with the social networking sites, the more potential visitors one’s website will get. To be more interactive, one should try to respond to visitors as much as possible. Try to post interesting topics or tweets.
