Maximize Site Traffic With Non-Mainstream Social Media

Recently I looked at some of my competitors' sites to see if they had any advantage over my site. Quickly I noticed that several of them had some non-mainstream social media platforms that they were utilizing.

I added some of these platforms to my site and within 2 days, I have had more traffic by the non-mainstream social media channels than mainstream channels.

So what are these non-mainstream social media (and other) platforms? Here are a few:

  • Bing - Kyle has a great video on why having your site on Bing is so important. I believe his stat said Bing/Yahoo account for roughly 33% of internet searches.
  • StumbleUpon - Finds and recommends web content to its users. Its features allow users to discover and rate Web pages, photos and videos that are personalized to their tastes and interests using peer-sourcing and social-networking principles.
  • Reddit - Registered users can submit their content. The community will vote the content up or down. Web content rating and discussion website.
  • Flickr - An image and video hosting site.

There are hundreds of other non-mainstream social media platforms available. If you utilize a particular platform that you've had success with, please share in the comments below.
