Social Networking Sites
Social networking sites are the future of Internet marketing. The good news is that the opportunities
for laser-targeted advertising are becoming a reality. Want to target 18-24 year old college graduate
women who are engaged? Well, you can…in Facebook. The bad news is that, with this added power, comes
much added complexity.
The traditional way of paying for clicks and optimizing links etc. for search engine optimization will
not work in a world where the users generate the content…and decide amongst themselves what is popular
and what is not. Internet marketers will have to become much more savvy to take advantage of this kind
of opportunity. More good news is that there is still time to get an early adopter advantage in this
space. It’s almost impossible to dislodge that web site that’s 8 or 9 years old from the number one
spot in Google (I don’t care what anyone says they can do for thousands of dollars!) search engine
listings, but…in this new arena…you could be that “old” site.
