Great stuff here! I think it’s really dependent on a good strategy that makes sense for the vertical. If they are not on the right sites and dont approach it the right way it could be a waste of time. For example, I have seen so many people waste time on Twitter and get no business. It is good for SEO because it helps with indexing but as far as lead gen not so great. HOWEVER, if you are a new site Twitter may be your best friend.
