Social Networking

Integrating social networking tools on your website can catapult your search engine and real time visitor exposure. It is usually as simple as adding links on your pet website to your social networking, bookmarking, and photo/video sharing sites like Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, LinkedIn, Stumble Upon, Digg, Technorati, Flickr, YouTube and more. But that's just the tip of the virtual iceberg, there is so much more you can do to engage your audience and keep them coming back for more.

If you haven't started social networking yet, you should consider it. Even if you "don't get Twitter" (don't worry, we hear this all the time) millions of other people do.

Twitter alone had 8 million page views in early 2009, up from 5 million page views at the end of 2008. PetWebPro.com can help you get started to catapult your pet website into the world of social media.

Here's a summary of the social media sites, and what they can do for you.

Social Networking:

These sites include Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Friend Feed, Linked In and Bebo just to name a few. You are probably familiar with at least one of these sites, and their capabilities of allowing you to create profiles and a platform to promote your website and products and services.

Social Bookmarking:

Social Bookmarking, on the other hand, is a group of sites like Stumble Upon, Digg, Delicious, and Technorati (and so many more) that allow visitors to create an account where they can collect or "bookmark" other websites, blogs, etc. of interest and even share their sites of interest with other people.

The most common way to allow your visitors to 'share' or 'bookmark' your site is to provide an simple one-click button where they can pick the sharing site of their choice. Like this:

Video and Photo Sharing:

You Tube and Flickr are just two of the many powerful ways to share video and photos with your visitors and a huge component of the social networking phenomenon. If you have a You Tube or Flickr account and want to promote it on your site, now it's as easy as a click of a button! Ask us how!
