Social networking sites are a free avenue to drive massive traffic to your sites. However a lot of people have not been able to do this simply because they do not know how to use it. This article will tell you how.

The first thing you must know is that social networking sites work on the basis that visitors create, and rate the content.

For instance if somebody posts an article, video or review on any of these sites, the other members will now rate it by either giving it a thumbs up or thumbs down.

If you have a powerful post that people love, they will rate your post high and by so doing, your post will remain at the top thereby giving you exposure. It is basically a popularity contest.

Example of such sites are:

Digg.com Reddit.com Feedmelinks.com
