Over the last few months there has been an unflux of social networking sites like Myspace, Facebook, Squidoo and Hubpages showing up in the search engine results allowing marketers to gain free organic traffic.

Many have learned that social network sites can be one of the best ways to get your site ranked high in Google (page 1 or page 2).

According to Wikipedia a "social networking" website is a site that focuses on building online communities of people who share interests and activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. Most social network services are web based and provide a variety of ways for users to interact, such as e-mail and instant messaging services. There are literally hundreds of social networking sites."

You can pay someone to get your site ranked high in the search engines ith no guarantee of results or you can learn how to do it yourself.

Here is a summary of how to get your site ranked in Google for any keyword:

1. Create a blog. If you don't have a blog you can get one at http://www.wordpress.com/ .

Your blog can be about anything but its important to keep it relevant to your specific topic. I would recommend doing some keyword research and locating "long tail" keywords - Example: "Foreclosure property under $200 in Chicago".

2. Your title should contain the keyword or keywords you are trying to promote (traffic exchange, make money,foreclosure properties for under $200)

3. Provide relevant content about your subject in the description. You can esearch websites with similar topics. You don't want to copy or steal their information so rewrite the information in your own words.

4. Link your social networking site "URL" to your blog. Include a link to your website in your blog post.

Your goal is to get backlinks from websites with a Page Rank (PR) of 3 or above. Page Rank is an algorithm that Google uses to determine the relevancy of your website content to the keyword being searched.

Don't stop with just one blog or social networking site. The more relevant pages with backlinks from PR 3 or above site the more traffic you will receive. Focus on creating at least 2-3 pages per week to achieve your desired traffic results.
