You must ask yourself what Social Network do I choose? This is the most important question. If you’re a blogger and own a self hosted blog, social networks can be great traffic drivers to your site.
Social Network Humor:
I Ask, and I find myself doing a Backflip over my decision. I grow hungry and begin to Feed Me Links and Squidoo on the side. It was so Del.icio.us I had to Mixx up another batch. I have so many Fave foods to choose from, but I am so undecided on what to choose. I than ask my girlfriend to share Co.mments on what to eat. I than Digg through the refrigerator to decide what I want. I than StumbleUpon some leftover pasta my girlfriend made. I start to eat it and enjoy it so much I gave my girlfriend a big Hugg. I am still not satisfied yet, so I begin to look through the Yellow Pages and order Mister Wong Chinese. The door bell rings 30 minutes later and it’s the delivery guy, Yahoo!.
It took a while to decide what social network I wanted to participant in. It’s important not to over extend yourself by participating in too many social networks. Keep it simple by selecting no more than 2, so you can put more time and focus, thus getting better results.

lol that’s fun to read
I’m getting tired of too many social bookmarking sites, they just keep on poppin’ O_o
As a fairly new blogger trying everything to grow my blog, its so hard not to take every opportunity to join as many social networks as I can. But it really is consuming more of my time than anything. I am finding that I can’t devote quality time to all so I starting to see its better to vote time to the few that are getting the better results. I don’t see anything wrong with still joining the others and having my links there.
I Digged and do Stumbles, plus a bit of Facebook coz its soooo Del.icio.us. So far got these 4, plus mybloglog and blogcatalog, which admittedly, I have not been too active. Of course Entrecard too. That’s a lot already, and I do no intend to add some more soon.
Wow, you managed to use so many social network in one post - it’s well written, especially how you StumbleUpon some left over pasta - LOL!
It is good advice to not over extend yourself, by focusing on only a few social networks, you can contribute more with depth and conviction.
Marie,
Yes, it’s important to be able to put time into this effort without over extending.
Thanks all for the comments!
