Understanding the Power of Social Networks in Marketing

Ever since the earliest days of the internet, one of the chief benefits of this new technology has been the ability to bring together those in different communities and different cultures. With the coming of the internet, borders and communities lost much of their power, and it became just as easy to speak, in real time, to someone half way around the world as to speak to someone right down the street. The internet is still a great way to bring people together, and vast networks of people are even now changing the way people search for and find the information they need.

One of the most significant new internet developments in recent years has been the advent of social networks, and these social networks have been garnering increasing numbers of visitors, and opening up great new opportunities for web site owners and web marketers alike.

Social web sites can take many forms, from networks of teenagers discussing the latest fashion trends and complaining about problems with school, to networks of like minded professionals seeking information on the best way to solve a technical or business problem.

No matter what the nature of the social network, these networks provide for some unique marketing opportunities. Social networks like social bookmarking sites have led to the tag and ping method of marketing, and this has proven to be one of the most effective and powerful ways to get the word out about web sites, affiliates and other products and services. Social bookmarking allows ordinary users to share their favorite web sites, blog posts, images and more, and they also provide savvy net marketers with a great new way to get their web sites in front of more eyes. Any marketer knows that more eyeballs can equal more sales, and these types of social networks are quickly gaining momentum as a way to garner buzz, gain backlinks and promote the products and services they have available.
