If your business limits its online presence to advertising banners and blogging, it's missing out. The Internet provides powerful networking opportunities that allow users to effectively target their audience by logging on to social sites like LinkedIn, Digg and more. Take advantage of these tools by asserting your company's presence online and reaching more potential customers, business partners and employees.

Shawn Hessinger: I have heard about Squidoo before, but I didn't pay so much attention at that time. I recently listened to a podcast interview with a guy who had hundreds of lenses, e.g., a Christmas toy gift site with reviews, affiliate links, etc. It is interesting that Seth Godin is behind site. I will check out your latest post, Free ebook from Seth Godin.

Hi stillwagon428. A very impressive list including some I have to admit I don't really know enough about and will have to check out. My own experience, however, is that the ones I'm aware of and use bring varying degrees of success depending on the type of business you are running. For example, I have found LinkedIn much more helpful than Facebook since much of my business relates to other businesses. At least three are missing here, too:

1. Squidoo, though it's rules against overtly promotional sites may effect how some marketers now use it.

2. MySpace, more valuable for communicating with non-business customers and building a fan base than most people realize.

3. Flickr, loading photos related to your business or simply using Creative Commons photos on your site WILL DRAW TRAFFIC.
