The bounce rate in google analytics was way too high for the test campaign I ran.

WayneLiew,Good points that you made Wayne. I suppose it would depend on the niches your involved in. Although, what first comes to my mind is that if your already outsourcing certain tasks for your niches... and if you’ve hopefully got a fairly knowlegdable ghostwriter or personal assistant... why not just lean on there knowledge and have them answer those... "deep" questions that might pop up every now and then. I suppose that would also depend upon the niche, how profitable those niches are to you and if it’s worth scaling to that level. Perhaps some of your niches might be worth using social marketing strategies while others may just be better left for PPC and other methods. I guess, at the end of the day, go with whatever strategy is driving traffic, converting into sales/commissions and paying the bills :)

Hey Dave, small world huh, hehe  what’s up... :) A Big Thanks for putting up the right link. :) I was in a rush and didn’t realize that when I used the "share this" button from my site... somehow url got cut off when it went to the Sphinn page... maybe cuz I wasn’t logged into Sphinn or something. I tryed to edit link after you pointed that out, but it won’t let me... so thanks again for posting the right link.By the way...I’m still gonna email you back, and touch base, etc... it just might not be today or tomorrow, with all the holiday stuff going on... but I will definately get back to you soon.  Thanks again & Talk soon.

Willyboy, your article on your blog highlighted some good points. I would also like to ad that for the smaller niched based social networks, another advantage is not having to focus so much on the scalabilty factors the giants like Myspace and Facebook have to contend with. On the other hand, the larger social media sites have deep pocketbooks, significant market & mind share. So it’s probably just a drop in the bucket as to the amount of users that will totally migrate away from the larger scaled sites to the niched-based social media sites. I think it’s safe to say that for certain niches we will gradually start to see a rise in niched based social networks. Especially with the increasing availabilty of "Cloned Scripts" for purchase like Youtube clones, Myspace clones, etc. However, I think it’s safe to say that it’s one thing to buy a clone script, or piggyback of the Ning Network, add a logo and viola...you have a social network.... and it’s an entirely different beast to actually seperate yourself from the pack and stand out so that your social site stands out amongst all the others within your chosen niche and be around for the longhaul as they say. Then there is the challenge of generating traffic to your social site along with converting that traffic into registered users, but thats a whole other conversation in itself.I’ll give you a relevant link to check out, since in your blog post you mentioned the internet marketing niche. It’s actually an internet marketing social network that I spent about a year and a half developing. I just recently finished up enough of the coding and layout as to be able to open it up for registrations. As you’ll see, the old adage "if you build it they will come" definately does not apply, as I’m sure we are all aware of. Over time, and with enough effort on my part, I’m sure the site will develop a large enough user base to sustain and perpetuate itself...but that just takes time.Anyways, overall... good points in your article willyboy and nice blog. Here is the link to my site I mentioned above: Internet Marketing Social Network incase you’d like to check it out.Best Regards,Jason Counts
