Social Media Marketing Campaigns and Consultation Services

In recent years Social Media has become the one of the biggest Buzz Words in internet marketing. And the hype is real! Social media is an excellent online tool for creating buzz, online activity and ultimately increasing the visibility or your brand and website.

In its infancy, Social Media was considered to be a traffic generating tool more suitable for individuals, and not so much for businesses or corporations.

Social Media is not Just for Individuals Anymore

Websites such as youtube.com, facebook.com and linkedin.com were all initially driven by individuals. However, it did not take long for forward thinking entrepreneurs, business owners and marketing executives to figure out how to use websites like these to promote their products and services.

The combination of Advertising and Social Media has resulted in an incredible explosion that has dramatically changed the landscape of Internet Marketing forever. The Sleeping Giant of Internet Marketing is now awake, and it will continue grow and morph into an even bigger beast as time moves on.

Social Media Activity has Surpassed Search Engine Activity

One of the most notable indicators of this shift in Internet marketing is the recent news that Facebook has actually surpassed Google in U.S. internet traffic. There are now more website visits to Facebook.com than there are to Google.com.
