Last week I gave a presentation at SES NY and included a list of 35 niche social media sites that we participate in regularly. Lots of people have asked me for this list so I decided to put it here. The following 35 sites are broken down into 8 different categories and each site has an active community and can help you get exposure. These sites aren’t going to send you 50,000 visitors but they will send you targeted traffic & links (if you’re content is good).

There have been excellent similar lists like this but these are the ones I like and think are worth your time. For more about my process behind finding sites like this – check out this Search Engine Land article I wrote last year How To Identify & Target The Right Niche Social Media Sites.
