Social marketing or social tagging, as it is more popularly known as, is the practice of promoting your website content through the different social networks which have sprung up to help share news and content through the web using, as a principal means, their members' interest and preferences.

By default this is a hit-and-miss affair, though many have hypothesized that it represents a more openly democratic means of news selection. The real value however is that it allows your website content to be found by people who may be intrested in it and did not know it existed and it gives a link back to your site from a social network.

The list below which gives some social networks, their Alexa ranking and their PageRank (PR) is far from exhaustive and, ideally, you need to create your own list which will closely reflect the demographics of your website content. There is not much of a shortcut here. For each social network you need to creat an ID and password, login and manually input the particular URL of your site containing the website content you are promoting.
