Social marketing is actually a good tool in advertising your product. Most individual do pay to advertising companies for their products to be reviewed and advertised not knowing that the social network is like a free market arena where you can also get your product advertised with no charges. Are you a marketer, an author or a producer, and you need your product or service to reach out to thousands of individual with no charges, then this discussion thread is actually for you.

It takes a wise person to plan out his or her strategies when it comes to social marketing. Today’s stroll, I would base my disscussion on facebook social network, and I would help you in marking out strategies on how to boost your website traffic using the facebook social network. If you are also in one business firm or another, then I also recommend this tutorial for you.

There are three major strategies that I have so much learn to use when it comes to traffic management, this strategies are:

1.     Commitments to facebook groups:

Discussing about commitment to facebook groups, it actually means the way you engage yourself to various facebook groups. Therefore as a blogger or web owner, you are adviced to engage with different facebook groups that are related to your niche (what you blog about).

So here is the point:

First search for facebook groups related to your niche, for instance, you do discuss about “make money online tips”, then you search for that on facebook and join as many groups  as you can under the related keyword, you are also adviced to join groups that are over  (2,000 - 3,000) members occupied already in them.

Then your next line of action is to try relating with them and get to know the policy abiding such groups. Remember that you don’t just join and start posting your web links because it can be seen by some groups as spam, which also declines their policy, and it can attract harsh decision like banning you out of such groups. So, try relating with such groups and try to know their whereabout.

Once you have engaged your self with such groups, then your next line of action is that, whenever you publish a certain topic to your site, try and moves to those groups you have joined, and don’t just paste the link of your url, first write down a little discription of the topic you just updated and then fix a linkback for your site, then you can now publish it to thsose groups. Once any of those group members sees the description of your content catchy, he or she would love to know more, then such person would click on your backlink, by the time you continue same procedure over and over again in all the groups you have joined, then you would notice that the more clicks you get, the more traffic benefited and also interested visitors would be engaged to your site and always comeback for more interesting tutorials.

So getting over 20 groups with 5,000+ members to check on your published tutorial, you must certainly have at least 2,000 views or visitors engaged, well that’s real traffic for you.

2.     Improving facebook fan page:

Fan page of a thing on facebook is one of the things that most bloggers do ignore. Actually, it’s so bad that nowadays, most bloggers still do ignore facebook fan page not knowing that it is one of the advantages that builds up their blog reputation and also favour them in terms of traffic.

In other words, to get much audience on your fanpage, try implementing the like buttons on your blog or website, then also try as much as possible to get all your facebook friends invited on your fan page. You can also try as much to get connected with most of your facebook friends that have more reputation and friends than you, so they can help invite fans on your page.

Getting more fans on your page is likely to increase your blog or website traffic level, but how?

Once you have at least 5,000 likes on your fan page, whenever you make a backlink on the page by updating your site recent posts, then your posts published on your facebook fan page would reach out to 50% (at least) of your fans, in which 48% would eventually end up clicking on your backlink to your website or blogsite. So you can anaylize the amount of visits that you would be getting everyday.

3.    Mentioning of names:

Though this procedure requires the use of a pc, I still recommend it as one of the best method you can get more audience from facebook.

Mentioning of names on facebook is done with the “@” symbol, and it is done by placing the “@”symbol first before typing in whosoever name you wish to mention. For instance, @NAMEOFPERSON.

You might be wandering the reason why I didn’t include tagging of friends in this case since I added mentioning of names, well though tagging could be done with a mobile device, I prefare to mention names becausei can do that in the comment box. Another fact is that I normally make use of a trick while mentioning names, so that my entire friends name would be mentioned within few seconds, even if I have thousands of friends on my list.

This trick favours those with large amount of facebook friends more, and the interesting side is that once all your friends are being mentioned, anytime they are online on facebook, it would appear to them as notification notifying them that you have just mentioned he or her on a particular post, eventually he or she would want to know the reason for the mention, and inventually, if your post seems to be catchy, then such person would like to read more, thereby, clicking on your backlink to your site which leads to more increase of your blog or website traffic. So analyze when you have over 3,000 facebook friends and all mentioned.

Here goes the trick on how to make mention all your facebook friends on your facebook status.

1.       First get your status updated

2.       Once it is updated, then click on the time of the status updated like the image below,

3.       Then right click and click on inspect element or hold F12 or Ctrl+SHIFT+J, then click on inspect element, at the buttom of your browser, a box-like feature will display, on the right hand side, click on console and paste the below codes in the box.

4.       After pasting the code, click enter, ignore any error and reload your browser to see all your friends name mentioned.
