Twitter vs Facebook for traffic?

15 years ago

I would have to go with Twitter, though I think FB has equally the potential to do good in terms of traffic. I just haven't given it enough time. I would say any successful IM'er should make use of them both equally well for the best results.

Once i learnt how to use fb properly for marketing it produces way more traffic " for me at least" than twitter, the trick is to give some value , add something to conversations, rather than out and out pitching. Good Luck

I use both Facebook and Twitter, however Facebook referrals are greater than Twitter for me personally, but only slightly greater. But because I use the SU.PR tool on stumble to share content via Twitter and Facebook the referral traffic from Stumbleupon is 3 times the amount I get from Facebook and Twitter directly. I do believe that if I were to use Twitter without the SU.PR tool it would easily tower over Facebook.

I think twitter is better for marketing, but if you want to reach people, then its facebook. Facebook is more personal while twitter is widely and obviously used by companies and people to promote things.

Yeah but you can only have 5,000 friends on FB and unlimited on Twitter... the Twitter retweet is your most valuable tool...

Facebook works very well due to the large amount of traffic they have and if you're a smart marketer you can take advantage of it. I mean the targeting on facebook is wayy better than twitter imo..

Although fb is strict there is less competition lol

I used to get tons of traffic from Twitter. However, it has been dwindling a little bit over the past few months, and I would say that the traffic is about equal at this time.

Targeted Traffic

For traffic...Twitter indeed brings in more because of the ability to 're-tweet'.
But for visibility and branding Facebook would be good.

Though the two provides tons of traffic, personally, I get more from Facebook than Tweeter. Aside from I have more friends in Facebook than Tweeter, Facebook provides visibility since you can post and present your products in the site and your friends will likely to see them and likes them.
Most of the people I know always tells me that Tweeter is more reliable in marketing, but I haven't tried had the result that most of them had stated.
Still, I prefer Facebook for more traffic.

I think Twitter drives traffic well to blogs and news related sites.

For a more traditional ecommerce play, Facebook is going to bring more sales.

I think the big problem for small business on Twitter, is finding people interested in their niche. If you can help small business to do that, you're likely to gain a few hundred dollars per month, per client for little to no work on a daily basis.

The scenario is like this. Of the 1000 common net users Facebook is used by at least 80% where as 20% uses only Twitter.So, I always see my sites get enough LIKES rather than having Twitter Followers.

Best way I saw was to make a fan page or group page, then put a widget on your site. Post often to it and invite your friends to it. Once it grows you'll start seeing traffic.

The other way is to do Facebook connect and allow people to join with the click of a facebook button. For some reason this will increase traffic to your site by like 50%

And of course just add "like" buttons to your posts
