Would it not depend on what your end conversion is? I reckon that if you’re selling tangible products, email marketing is more effective, but social media is more effective if you’re after click-throughs and page impressions for advertising.

I believe that the cultural and geographical diversity of people in social networks will hinder the growth of socail network Marketing…

That makes sense. I've noticed that people on social networking websites just come and leave. All they're looking for is hot news or something interesting and then they just leave the website. iPwner's last blog post..Week 9 NFL Power Rankings Titans Undefeated!

Very interesting article, thanks for sharing. I would have to say that I am influenced more by the social networks than emails. Only because I get so much email that it is hard to decipher spam from legit offers. Matt Helphrey's last blog post..What Are the Steps in Creating an Online Business?

oooo, this is quite interesting. This is just proof that marketing is always adapting. As soon as one form of advertising has run its course and is no longer beneficial, the advertising market gets an overhaul. I like it. SoLinkable's last blog post..Wikipedia and the Meaning of Truth

Really, it’s going to come down to what you’re best at.

Some people excel at writing, some at social networking – but very few at both.

Now, I’m all for playing to your strengths – but generally the writers should be more involved with their market on a social level and the social butterflies should learn to write more on target messages.

In fact – you can still advertise in apps like Facebook and Twitter – but you have to be *extremely* wary about how you craft your message.

In the end, when you combine the relationship aspect of social media with the raw sales power of opt-in e-mail marketing – you won’t have just ‘buyers’ – you’ll have raving fans.

Email marketing is powerful when it comes to sales. But if we talk about build more powerfull site I think Social Networking is better (IMO) Busby SEO's last blog post..By: thebuzz

It seems that email marketing is still powerful when it comes to sales. I believe social network marketing is over-hyped and many marketers carried away from the hype miss on opportunities from using other promotional methods that is not the new hot trend.

Good Discussion. I think, it is quite clear that e-mail marketing is better than social markeing as it targets actual customers who are interested in your products. Robert's last blog post..RSS- A Powerful Marketing Tool

In todays consumer educated market the key to success is providing problem solving multimedia information. You don’t force closure it comes because the consumer is ready to purchase. Social networking and e-mail marketing should compliment each other. Create a viral buzz about striking, compelling , and EVOCATIVE information that best defines that product. I want communities (social & professional)excited about my product and services not just individuals (e-mail driven).
