Social Media Marketing Gains Website Traffic Social Media Marketing Social media marketing gains website traffic or notoriety by leveraging content on social media sites. This is typically accomplished by creating content on social media sites that encourages readers to share the content with others in their social networks. Sharing content increases reach and distribution since all of a persons’ social media connections are able to view the content. In turn, anyone that viewed the initial shared content can then share it themselves, increasing social media reach exponentially. At its essence, social media marketing is electronic or digital word of mouth advertising. The main purpose of using Social Media is as a communications tool. Social media also allows individuals to interact directly with a company or brand as well as other social media users that have similar interests as themselves. Companies are accessible to their customers and customers are accessible to companies. This allows direct communication between both and produces an interaction that has a more personal feeling. Personal interactions produce loyalty and create followers and potential customers. Social media marketing is also a integral factor in search engine optimization (SEO).
