Social Media is the most effective way to increase traffic but forgot about Twitter, StumbleUpon and LinkedIn. A new report reveals that Facebook and Pinterest and maybe even Google+ are your safest bets.

Depends what your desired results are. For Organic traffic from Google, Google+ post can be extremely effective.

For conversions I have had best results with FB, Twitter, and Pinterest. Also don't forget about reddit! If you can become a savvy redditor that can be your most profitable network of all Especially for directing traffic to affiliate sites.

Another site to get some great traffic is Tumblr, depending on the niche of course. I usually choose trending niches, so finding blogs with tons of notes is not hard for me.

Around 1 year ago, I got good traffic from Tumblr when viewing on my Google WMT, do you think it's still effective now?

Definitely!

I'll give you the method I use.

Say my niche is baseball stuff.

I'll create an entire tumblr around baseball stuff.

Then I will follow 200 people a day.

You have to wait 24 hours after you create a tumblr to start doing any activity

Then go to Google.

Type in:

tumblr tagged baseball

Then I would choose the top result and look for the "blogs" with the highest notes and follow the people that shared the blog.

Simple

I only use Twitter at this moment.
Still do not have time for others.

For me Facebook is the top Traffic Provider to your Site, i've been sharing my Site link to my facebook pages, and in result keep getting good results, but still only facebook is not enough, you need other sites too.

I've seen some epic awesome traffic with twitter, they just changed the rules and its harder to get aff links on it.

In above your list i will suggest you use Google plus and Facebook for better traffic.

If you are able to create viral content,facebook/twitter is the key
Hoards of traffic can flow to your site

Facebook and Google+ are great for me.

 

[NickTheMusketeer]

All of them are great for traffic. It all depends on what kind of niche you try to promote. Generally, all social networks will help you to receive more traffic. It's as if you have a chain of businesses.

You have 1 business (Facebook) and you get X amount of traffic.
You opened another business in another crowded location. You will get X + Y amount of traffic.
You opened a third business in a different but also crowded location. You call get X + Y + Z amount of traffic.

In other words, when you want to heavily promote a website or a product, use all of the available traffic sources that you deem worthy.

I use all the traffic sources you just mentioned including reddit, but I don't use stumbleupon. The social network that brings the most traffic for me is Facebook followed by Google + then followed by Tumblr.

So if you ask me which is the best social site to market your site, I would say Facebook or Google +. Tumblr is still very effective and I get traffic from it every day using the very same strategy Eric mentioned above

I'm curious about traffic that you are getting from Google +, it's share on your page, profile or you promoted your posts on Google+ communities that relate to your niche.

 

[Nytshade]

Some of the traffic comes from my profile and re-shares, most of it comes from communities. I've never used pages.

Hope that answers your question

You ignored an opportunity to have more traffic and followers on Google. It's Page

Also, Google+ page will help you build your Brand Name better when you can change its name to your Brand Name and getting more followers for it.
