    Just asking. I have dealt with over 100 clients in the last year, and have had conversations with countless others. In addition, I have interacted with more than a few internet guru's. I have not found 1 who has said that ad words or facebook or twitter was worth the time and money in ROI. Whereas well done organic visibility, YouTube, Press Releases, email blasting to customer lists, and blogs are all paying off. Your take?

      It all depends on what you're hoping to achieve and I would never suggest using any one tool in isolation. I use Facebook and Twitter to engage with people who share my interests (sometimes work related, sometimes not) and to keep a finger on the pulse of those communities. This has value to me, although I can't measure it in direct sales dollars. There are other units of measure that I can come up with, like number of comments, retweets or new contacts, that tell me if I'm progressing towards this goal.
