I completely agree with the importance of using Social Network Profiles, but unfortunately, Steven Williams isn’t a very unique name, 13.2 million results… and an actors name… maybe I’ll make the top page one of these days…

Hi John. Well put. I can’t agree with you more about the importance. What it boils done to is having a meaningful and useful presence. The virtual world is full of tons of powerful tools to help companies, especially if properly used. But I suggest to my clients that they should manage their online presence to get the maximum impact, which includes regular check-ups for accuracy and affect.

Great Post, and I agree with your other readers and their comments that it is really important. Google and the other search engines are the new yellow pages, the new phone book. Social networks brings more engagement with search engine don’t bring, facebook, linkedin, secondlife are platforms that mimicks a virtual environment that exceeds the WEB2.0.

Social network profiles not only get your name out there, but it helps cutomers know more about your business. It’s more personal. Myspace may seem like another social network many can get lost in, but if done the right way (no scandalous pictures!), it can be one of your best marketing moves. Found an article about whether you should put together a Myspace profile: http://grabbinggreen.com/pdf/articles/myspace.pdf. It’s been so helpful!

I actually find all of my articles that I have written, but it’s a fantastic question you ask about the social networking. I know many people are asking ‘what’s in it for me’ – especially with the massive social media push these days. Another question people are asking me is ‘is it worth my time?’ So it’s interesting to see some answers here. I know personally that social netowrking has actually helped my profile – in that I actually get to chat to people and give advice without expecting anythign in return. This is fantastic marketing for small business owners.

I think I share a pretty common name, but with the more content I submit, the more I have seen my name rise in the rankings. I still need to get over the hurdle of the chad.com/nets, but it is only a matter of time.

I think this is one of the most important tasks in building your online presence. Most people you are doing business with or want to do business with at some point will search you out on google. Owning the first few pages of a google search on your name is huge in building trust in a new relationship. This does not really take too much time and once completed is easy to maintain.

I went to Blog World Expo this year and experienced the real power of Twitter when the conference was run using this tool. It was an incredible lesson in how powerful social media tools can be for business. Although many opponents will tell you that we are yet to reach the tipping point, it’s clear that we’re well on our way. @garyvee tells us that the Tipping Point for social media is approaching and that now is the time to be getting prepared if you want to play in this space. I agree 100%. Yes, I think social media can improve your marketing presence without a doubt. When I write a new blogpost, I post an entry on both Facebook and Twitter resulting in increased website traffic from both. I know this is a strategy that you use too, John. I look forward to the day when we laugh at the fact that we even asked this question and I know that day will be soon =-)
