Advantages of Social Networking: Driving Traffic to Your Website
Social media is a big part of most good marketing plans these days and it has a number of great advantages.  Reaching people in the network of their choice is fundamental and delivering relevant content is a must.  While sharing information through a social network is great, ultimately you will be in the best position if you bring people back into your website.

I am just not sure if you noticed that you are an advertiser, a promoter, an informer, a persuader, an educator, for as long as you are on social networks. Let’s face the facts here:
Do not tell me you never tweet or update a status about a celebrity‘s good deeds ever in your life ever since you activated your social network, unless your social network is unattended by you (the owner).We all do it in a way but maybe we never noticed that we are actually selling or advertising that particular person or object
Take for an example, on your face book status you type “yah neh? this man is really in love, wish to have a husband like this in future …now via watching Africa magic on DSTV”
 By me analyzing that I think you are actually saying "hey my fellow FaceBookers watch a movie on Africa Magic on DSTV", but you might not be aware that you just persuaded your Facebook friends to turn their DSTV on and watch that movie. Later on you want to know how many people were persuaded? Just check the comments and like stats.

Ever went to your favorite brand, movie or soapie’s social network page? There are stats which are titled “people talking about this”. This is where you know that you are part of the advertising agency but you are just not aware and you are doing it for free.

  1. social network is a very powerful platform for advertising or marketing.You are right,we are actually practicing persuasive in everyday of our lives...amean by just telling a friend about a movie that you watched at the cinema you are actually persuading a friend to go and watch the movie...so yes we live to persuade or sell things unaware.

  10. Social networking does indeed encourage persuasion in any field or industry. It is through it that we learn how to influence out target public in the most effective way, hence it is a platform that has a large number of audience.

  11. Nowadays we are in a great advantage because we have internet or technology at the palm of our hands. We can tweet throughout traffic and not even notice it. We should never underestimate the power of social media.
