Are Facebook Groups effective in promoting and increasing traffic?

Hello,

In your point of view, are Facebook Groups effective in promoting web products and increasing web traffic?

I tried to post some into related facebook group but I didn't get good results as my expectations, some facebook is too many spams and I sure they will not be seen by more people in that group although groups are having thousands of members

what do you think?

Of course. when you share your links in Facebook group, the whole group members see your links and visit your website if they interested.

I just had my campaign for several days and no conversion. So I don't know how effective it is.

Don't know for sure, but there are FB groups in which users exchange likes. In this way, it's possible to build a certain audience for your page from the start.

The key is to provide valuable content, don't give up so fast - just stay patient.

Yes It's also a latest method to get visitors on your site.

Yes it is help you if you are promoting the same niche site. Because there you can get a lot of people who are interested in same niche.

I think they can be quite effective. Especially if you are providing the group members with quality, useful content/information, like Corobo mentioned. You might want to try avoiding groups related to niches that marketers target and hammer to death.. like make money, weight loss, etc. Try testing out some obscure niches like "black lab lovers" or "Soap making", etc.
Hope that makes sense.. and good luck!

Funny or true why you think it is an interesting point!??

Well, it's true that bizarre attracts, and there are also lots of groups with ordinary descriptive names. Might be this can increase not just traffic, but will attract traffic that can be later converted into profit. A problem is that bizarre niches/names are pretty hard to make up (at least for me).

Actually, the reason I said 'wow' was because I loved this combination of 'black lab lovers' and 'soap making'

They are effective if you are doing in a right way i.e. posting in niche related groups and their members must be active.

At least if you spam alot your links in groups and pages, Facebook will block/bann it permanently.

I figure that obscure niches are overlooked by many marketers. But there is a lot of potential there :rolleyes2:
