I think many people view social networking the way you do. I also think that many people have not used social networking to it's fullest or with any sort of strategy. It is true there is a lot of hype surrounding social networks but I have only seen a few people that are actually tapping into it's usefulness in marketing. I do agree with you about content though. Even if you are successful at building traffic through social networks, people won't come back unless they find rich content. My hope is that I will be able show people what I mean by "don't underestimate the power of social networking", through the Queen of Social Network Marketing project. I believe that social networks are very useful tool for branding and my hope is to demonstrate that through this project. Thanks again for stopping by! Hi John,

If you have good content and do other necessary things social networking can help. But the hype around social networking overall I think is far too extreme. Taking advantage of social networking strategies is a way to increase traffic - if you have content people are excited about. Without that it does little.
