Thanks for your comment. I've found that while you won't get everyone you converse with directly on social sites to your site or blog, when you are providing good content it will often be shared by others. This is one thing that can help "spread" it further and generate more interest. It's definitely not a process that follows a straight line, for sure. :) Keep focused on providing that value and also using tools such as Twellow.com for Twitter to find targeted people to follow and interact with. Don't forget to make the invitation to others to visit your site, too, once in a while. Hi Sarah! Thanks for your comment.

You succinctly capture the essense of social media networking. Judging from the noise we all experience on sites like Twitter, it certainly takes time to connect with followers that "add value" by sharing useful content rather than constant self-promotion! The only point that I would question is that it is simple to move people from tweeting valuable info/chatting into the conversion funnel on one's website or blog. That's something I'm still figuring out at any rate! Thanks for your insights. Sarah Sturtevant Twitter: @sarahsturtevant Nice post, Christine.
