Social Media sites such as Facebook offer a PPC advertising model that enables you to create adverts and promote to specific segments of your market. You can target your audience by age, sex, relationship status, location, interests, hobbies, and birthdays.

These social media sites can also be used to drive FREE traffic to websites, build lists and you can promote relevant products or services to these potential customers.

Social Media has a number of benefits:

• FREE Traffic – can drive free traffic to your website and create valuable links from authority websites.
