Tips : If you are a member of any of these sites, then I can give you some useful tips that I felt great and really working.

* Complete your profile page by providing more information about yourselves, your hobbies, interests, work or career, etc. So, you can enter your site information too.

* Providing personal Information alone cannot help to increase traffic. Because the probability of getting visits to your profile page is low. So, try to place the link or URL of your site as the Status Message itself. To be frank, I follow the same.

* Beware of the hidden dangers in these sites. Never try to misuse them.

* Try to gather as many good friends as you can. If they have a site or blog, then things will become more simpler.
