Social media is all the rage and is only going to see continued growth…even seeing exponential growth with some of the very top most trafficked sites on the web

Lots of sites that are having the very highest growth levels were the ones earliest in excluding the 5th or 6th coming Facebook which came out a long after others including MySpace.

But the big news is two new software programs:

     

  1. Google Friend Connect
  2. Facebook Connect

You can go to those pages for articles with specific information about how you can capitalize and maximize their use in your social media marketing campaigns for your websites.

The basic thing they provide is friend portability. You can quickly and easily take friends over from these sites into your own wholly owned domain. All they have to do is accept your invite and they’re in. Imagine the growth possibilities for your website…

Digg is likely to integrate Facebook Connect at the earliest time meaning you can bring all your Facebook friends over into Digg.

Of course, they’ll have to accept your invite to digg and be an active user.

The power of this should be readily apparent to you.

I have over 3000 Facebook friends in my profile.

If you know anything about Digg they’ve made profound changes to enhance their algorithm code and how stories reach their front page.

Getting to the front page of Digg is a major victory and can send an absolute volcano of visitors to your website. It’s even got its own term called the “Digg effect” which happens when the tidal wave of visitors crashes your website servers.

Basically, Digg has revamped their site in an attempt to clean up the corruption and give everybody fairly equal chance of getting to the front page.

About four to five months ago it would take 150 to 300 Digg’s to even have a chance at getting on the home page.

Now I’ve seen some stories with as little as 76 Diggs reach the front page. And this social media news site gets over 25 million visitors each month and has over 27 million registered users in its database.

Of course, those numbers sound good for investors and news stations but only a select smaller group are highly active. I’m sure the 80/20 rule applies.

Accounting for that means 5,400,000 hyper active users coming to the site every day.

Though this front page exposure lasts on Digg’s Main page for usually a little under two hours because of the other power users newer stories pushing them down and off the page I still talk to people who have gotten over 100,000 visitors from reaching this goal of every site user.

Now imagine how much closer you could be to the 100-150 Diggs you need for homepage status by bringing over all your Facebook friends or your Google Friends.

Chew on that for awhile.
