Go where the people are
Use a social network that is busy. You want to go where other people are going to get the most effect from your efforts.


Add friends carefully
On most networks you can choose to screen any friends before they are added. You should choose this option and make sure that you are friends with people who represent your values and support your overall message. Take the time to check out each request and just don’t approve everyone who asks.


Add content with care
Make sure that anything you put on your page represents you. Make sure it is professional and will not tarnish your image in any way.


Use multi-media
Make use f the video and audio features most of these sites give you. Add your own video and audio for a truly unique experience that represents you.


Be aware of your audience
Make sure you understand that you are dealing with the general public. That may include children. You should always take the high road and never put anything questionable on your page.


State your purpose
Make it clear why you are on the site. You need to make sure people know you are there for business and not for finding a relationship. This is important or else you will be bombarded with offers from the opposite *** to chat and get to know each other which can be a he time waster.


Keep it updated
Visit your page often. Everyday would be ideal so that you can keep everything up to date. Plus it shows up that you are visiting the site and so people will know you are an active member.


Use photos
Have your photo on there. It has been shown that pages with photos get more traffic and interest than those without photos.


Try social media sharing sites
Try out sights where you can share your stuff. These sights are like the social networking sites, but they actually let you submit things like photos and writing to them that remain on their network and are shown off to visitors.


Customize
Customize your page to fit you. Add in backgrounds and other fun stuff to show off your personality. Remember these sites are for networking and getting to know others. People want to meet a friendly and fun person so be that.

Free sponsers and advertisers along with affiliate links would work. Also have a designer design your site and make sure the wording is good so it looks more professional.

Putting your link with those websites who have high traffic helps.

Very good tips on using social sites. But I have a few questions.

1. Which ones help your serp?
I know myspace prevents back links, so no help there.

2. Traffic?
How much is real or spam to your site.


Can anyone refer a list of social sites and what they are good for.
