LinkedIn Can Be One of your Greatest Traffic Sources

LinkedIn is often mentioned as a powerful social networking tool and a significant tool for enterprise professionals, employers, and job seekers. What isn’t often mentioned is the site’s capability to easily drive traffic to your site.

LinkedIn can be a powerful source for driving visitors to your blog and therefore should be part of your strategy in building out your “Social Networking Spider Web”.

In some respects, LinkedIn visitors might even be more precious than visitors from other social networks and sites. That is simply because of the generally professional nature of LinkedIn itself.

If you contemplate that LinkedIn could possibly be one of your biggest traffic sources you should you put enough effort into cultivating it as such.

Once you register, put together a complete profile following the steps listed below (you can come back and do some of them as your time permits.)

1. Complete your profile
2. Improve and grow your personal connections
3. Add and Customize your web site links
4. Answer questions
5. Update your status on a regular basis
6. Join area of interest groups
7. Put up feedback in groups
8. Add RSS feeds to groups
9. Create a group
10. Add the LinkedIn weblog software to your profile
11. Put your LinkedIn profile badge and links on your other Social Network sites, e.g. your Google Profile

LinkedIn is also now offering integration with Microsoft Outlook.  So if you use Outlook I suggest taking a look at getting that set up as it will make doing things on LinkedIn easier in some areas.

The thing I like most about LinkedIn, are the groups. Go to the top where it says Groups and click there…go to “find a group” at the top right and do a key word search for groups that interest you. Hint – set up daily updates so you don’t get overwhelmed with email messages.

With Linked In, you’ll be able to promote merchandise, find new customers, build your brand and yourself and continue to build your Social Networking Spider Web.
