If you’ve had a site for over a few months you probably realized that you can’t rely only on Google to send you visitors. A good way to get visitors to your site, especially new ones, is through social media. This means that you must take full advantage of the functions that are offered by the various social media sites: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Stumbleupon, Pinterest etc.
