What percentage of your traffic comes from facebook?

3 replies
I have been working with a couple of customer sites and also my own sites, and been surprised at the traffic Facebook could drive. It took me a while to figure out some of the tricks to having a consistent plan, but now I am seeing the benefits of study.

For example, there is a one week old site that is already getting 50+ referrals from Facebook every day. In another example, I had a personal site that had the traffic drop off to where it was getting less than 10 uniques from google per day (from over 100 last year), but it already getting nearly 50 per day now, and also seeing the google traffic increase as well.

I'm almost to the point where I am not even going to worry about google anymore, as facebook is easier to drive traffic. What kind of percentages are you getting?

    That's good to know. You helped me make a very important decision. I'm actually not on Facebook yet, (yes, I'm one of those,) I am on Twitter though.

    I was trying to decide if it was worth it to go on Facebook, but I guess it is. Now I just have to figure out how...

      Yea, I was slow to get in the game too. It does take a little trial and error to see what works, but it certainly works. My strategies mostly involve asking people from Facebook to participate on a site in some way. Then they start talking to each other on my site, and boom! Traffic.

      It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

    You stated that you ask them to participate and then they start talking to each other. So your site is like a blog/chat room type site?
