Interview140 Analysis and Lessons:
The internet is a very competitive medium; we all know that there is no use of a web site if no one visits it. We all aspire to get our web pages to the top of Google results. We work hard trying to master every possible technique to make our pages easier to be found and accessed.
Social media has revolutionized the way we perceive web today. Google is no longer solely monopolizing your web site visitors. Social bookmarking and networking sites can be a very big source of traffic today. We have experienced this first hand here on Thoughtpick Blog through our stats, with websites like Stumble Upon, Mixx, Reddit, Digg and Twitter forming a significant portion of our blog visitors.
