    Best for SEO given those 2 choices I'd undoubtedly say Google+ it's..... Google.They like themselves.... like a lot. That's why Youtube videos rank so easily in the search engine because they are owned by Google.

    Better for traffic and leads? Facebook but for purposes of SEO a bookmark to Google+ should be happening.

    Hope that helps

    I agree Google+ also Facebook pages, LinkedIn pages come up in search engines when you type in brand name usually on first 2 pages. Thats the best way to figure it out, search a well known competitor, see which social sites come up for them.

    If I was Google, what do you think what I would favor, facebook (network owned by others) or Google+ (network owned by Google)?
    It is as simple as that.

    Also, Google plus is soo good, in technical and UI way that is second to none, it is definitely tailored for the 21st century.

    On the other side, popularity from any social networks helps SEO that is for sure, just with G+ it's easier!

    The best one is Google+ by far because it's owned by Google then it's Twitter because people are following people everyday so it's better for SEO than Facebook in my opinion.

    Google+ without a doubt. Social Signals on Google+ fetch more traction than any other social networking site. Would suggest you a detailed guide on Google+ written by Pam Dyer, featured as Forbes Top 50 Influencers : How to Get SEO Love out of Google+ Social Signals

    Hope this helps

    Google+ is definitely the best for SEO. You can link your google+ to your website (you just need to embed a code generated by google+), you get very good results. LinkedIn comes in second, then Tumblr. Twitter doesn't help too much in terms of SEO.

    G+ is better for SEO. As I understand, one of the factors in Google's search algorithms is the referral. Google trusts certain websites to not provide spammy or dud links. Being that G+ is a product of Google, it would definitely take precendence over Facebook in that regard.

    Hi, i have only just started using social media for advertising my site, Facebook seems ok. But people who have joined my blog tell me what they want to read, and i think as i write the articles, people are coming back.
    I think some site owners put alot of thought into getting new unique visitors to their sites, where we really should be looking at making our sites more interesting so they come back
    Thanks

      sadly Google+ is the #1 choice, because Google of course has learned to butter their own bread and eat it.

      Google+ posts are indexed quickly by google bots and seemingly index higher on google searches, so not only will you get some good clicks from your google+ posts, but you also get preferential SERP listings.

    Without any doubt, it is Google+. Google doesn't have access to Facebook data and does not consider social signals in ranking. After the inception of Google authorship, Google+ is going to play an important role in ranking.

    One should understand that when it comes to Social Networks, the backlinks don't carry any value and google doesn't take those into account as a part of its complex algorithm to rank pages. However, for SEO, social signals do play important roles. By social signal, it means that how many people are sharing, +1, tweeting, stumbling etc your post/page.
    I've seen a significant difference in ranking when some of my post got great social signals. Because it all boils down to this: Write for your readers, not for search engines. And if you write for readers, they will share and thus you will get social signals and thus it will boost your SEO.

    If you want to generate viable social signals, there a number of people on Fiverr offering gigs of this nature. However, be sure to watch for their eligibility and performance. And don't use social signals reinforcing gigs too often lest you may be penalized by google. Use them sparingly with dilatory tactics.

    All these sites have high page rank and less Alexa Traffic Rank.

      On a more serious note, I think it all depends on how you use them and where your fans hang out most of the time, some people have more success with Facebook, others with G+. Facebook has been around longer, so it's possible the "regular Joe" will hang out on Facebook and not even care about G+, on the other hand, you never know until you try to promote yourself using both. And this only applies to these 2, then there's Twitter, and Pinterest, and so many more!
