Use Twitter
I started using Twitter and Facebook to drive some more traffic to my sites and saw amazing results within a few days. Here I want to tell you that Twitter is a micro-blogging service and it allows it's users to write and share what a user want just in 140 characters.
I like this service from Twitter as it seems like you have to put most of the juice of your service or product in few words. At the beginning you may feel some of the inconvenience with Twitter as you are habitual of sharing your thoughts on your blog or website in more and more words, but with this feature you will learn how to say more in few words and that's why Twitter is known as micro-blogging service.
You should use Twitter with creation of your profile at the very first thing, This profile must has an about us type of information and the primary keywords for your business with a link to your website or blog.
Now what you need to do is just find out people from your niche. Twitter has an advanced search option. Like my niche is Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and tips and techniques with it. So I search with "seo techniques and tips" and there are number of users on Twitter from the same niche then I started following them and wait for them to follow me back. I used to post various tips and seo techniques on a regular basis. Don't forget to shorten your link url with the help of url shorten service providers. With a shorten url you may write more about what you are twitting.
You are now twitting good stuff that your peers might like. Now you should reply to the conversations that belong to your niche. Make sure that you are not spamming with your replies to the conversations. Your replies must be helpful or informative or can be type of nice questions otherwise keep it in your mind that spammers do not go far with Twitter as others block them immediately.
I don't know how it happen to my site but it is true that twitting on twitter has provided me more visitors and improved my search engine rankings......As I think.
Use Facebook
Facebook is completely different to Twitter, with Facebook you need to create a profile first. Here you can say about yourself with no word limit. You need to introduce yourself on Facebook wisely. Try to put your main keywords in your profile and your links.
Now you are ready with your profile, Facebook allows you to use three tabs at very first like Wall where you share your thought with your friends on your friend list. The second one is Info, this tells others about you. The third one is photos, upload a profile photo from here.
You just look to create a fan page now. A fan page on Facebook is somewhat like a website on Internet. Your fan page must have each and every thing that others will love and become a fan of your fan page. Start sharing nice and informative things with your fan page wall option.
Remember whatever you post on your fan page's wall it will appear on the wall of each fan of your fan page. Be sure that you are not spamming here. Try sending invitation to the people that belong to your field to become a fan of your fan page. One will definitely become a fan of your fan page if you are providing them fine stuff related to your theme.
Don't spam your fans but provide them with nice posts at a high frequency.

How to use Tools Effectively for SEO Services
The fellows who are in Internet Marketing Services or offers Search Engine Optimization services certainly look forward to bring more visitors to client site or to some personal site. For doing this effectively one should know how to use these SEO tools to save the time as well as to minimize the efforts they put in getting higher ranks in SERPs.
Why should one use SEO tools for Search Engine Optimization:
First of all get the good and appropriate keywords or keyphrases with the help of tools like, Google Adwords External Tool, this tool is from Google and very easy to use. It just ask you to type in a keyword like "SEO Services" and suggest you about the other keyphrases and keywords that are being searched and also tells you that how many times a particular keyword is searched within a month. This tool also allows you to find out the number of searches performed for a particular keyword within your local search area.
The second thing you do is to optimize the webpages. Many terms are there in On-page optimization like Meta tags, alt tags, keyword density in content etc. There are various free seo tool available on internet for meta tag generation but I personally recommend to create the meta tags manually like Title tag, Description tag and Keywords tag. Though the terms like keyword density for a certain keyword on a page can be seen with the help of Keyword Density Checker Tool.
The another work is to check for the duplicate content on the page. Search Engines may penalize you sometimes for the duplicate content on your site. Create some fresh content for your site as search engines love the fresh and informative content. Check the content before making it live on your site.
The third one is Off-page optimization for your site. Off-page optimization is nothing but to have backlinks to your site from other sites. These backlinks will play good role in getting higher search engine position if they are coming from relevant sites and should have your primary keyword into the link text. To submit your website to hundreds of web directories, many tools are out there but it is strongly recommend to submit the site manually as now web directories are using "Verification tool" on the directories to verify that submitter is the genuine human being.
Tools are also available to write tons of articles in minutes but a fresh newly written article attracts more visitors and perhaps people may use your article content on their site too. So take some time and write articles on your own or you may appoint an article writer.
Though you can check the status of backlinks you are getting for your site with using some tools like Backlink Checker.
You can also check the links that your competitor has for his site with Backlink Summary Tool. It is also important to use fine anchor text while taking a link back to your site and the anchor text in your links can be analyzed with Backlink Anchor Text Analyzer.
Now the final term i.e. reporting for site status. Here you include the report for some keywords regarding their position in search engines. GoogleRanking tool is one of the tools that checks the position of a site for a certain keyword in Search Engine like Google, Yahoo and MSN.
Some of the tools are free but some are paid too. Other useful SEO tools are WebCeo and IBP. These tools help you saving hours for you that you can put in some other money generating stuff like writing some articles, creating blogs or whatever you want.
