Facebook or Google +

Personally I think Facebook is the biggest right now, definitely easy to use as most people already have a Facebook account.

However Google+ is also easy to use once you get into it, and I have a hunch Google+ ranks better and is better for SEO, just saying....

yo can have a business account for all the social media. You don't need social media if you have no idea how it will benefit you so don't worry about it.

facebook, twitter and G+ are the big ones but there are others..the ultimate question you should be asking yourself is: " are my customers on these platforms and can i engage them.."

there are very simple ebook/videos on youtube etc that can help you setup accounts but don't do it because everyone else is doing it...do it because you want more customers or want to engage existing ones etc

hope this helps

It depends on what your business is. Facebook is the largest social networking site and easier to use compared to Google+. I don't know what you want to promote but you can reach different types of people in FB and Twitter. Google+, I think has a business-feel setting.

Google+ might work better for a tech niche. From what I understand, google+ has a much higher concentration of tech enthusiasts than facebook, which is basically everyone.

I find G+ much easier to use and gain followers. But it depends a lot on your niche. G+ is brimming with people interested in the IM niche.

You can use all the social media sites to promote your business. Think of it at this way: You have to utilize all the resources you have for now. Do not think about what will be big in the next five years. I mean, sign up for every social media accounts. I think that would not hurt.

All social media possible helps, it can never hurt you.

Facebook is better than twitter as a social media website for SMO.

If you are focused on ranking and visibility of a page and you are using social media sites like Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, LinkedIn etc, than I will go with Google Plus. Because Google plus is more effective than all other social media site and gives direct link to your website.

It depends what that page will be targeted for. Why don`t you simply create both FB and G+ pages? Both sites are extremely useful.

Facebook is more batter, but don't ignore goog+. Use both social networking site to get extra benefits.

I personally get on facebook, twitter, linkedin, youtube and google plus! I prefer G+ to facebook personally, it works better for me and I get a lot more traffic from it then I do from facebook but I know lots of people who swear by facebook.

Get all the exposure you can get. Since it's free, why don't you utilize both and see which gives you more leads and sales? If you are purely looking for your business to get known, Facebook is a really good choice but if you are looking for more serious targets, I think you can find them more on Google+.

i don understand why you have to chose, your business needs every exposure it can get!
Google page plus is a priority though, it gives you a do-follow link and boost your seo.

hey just to tell you that facebook will be the king over the upcoming years because it gives you lot of perks as it is the main source of traffic for some prople including me.people feel more attached with facebook than g+ and fb is lot more easier to use than G+.however,both o them are great i am recommending fb bacause its one of the min source of traffic for one of my blog Nexus 5 release date,price,specifications,pre-order,comparisons.

We use both and I tend to find Facebook works best for our offline business but Google + is great for the IM niche

Use every social media, you never know which will benefit you. Be active on every site and interact with your fans nicely. If they have question or doubt, solve it as soon as possible. Update with quality contents..

Facebook for sure but google plus is a must also

Both are effective, now google plus is also getting popularity.

Yes, i agree! Facebook is bigger then G+, You can get Direct Traffic from Facebook, but its ordinary, when you are talking about the best in quality traffic.. its always from G+...

All people in my country is using Facebook instead of google +

My favorite is Facebook. I have lots of friends there. Facebook is much easier than the Google Plus.

I think Face Book is better than Google +
Google+ might do better in future but for now face book is the best.

facebook is better than Google plus but it depends upon the business you are focussing. There are number of other popular social networks whose popularity and usage is more than these facebook and google plus in some countries. So it depends on the niche and business you are focusing

Hey marks2424

I recommend you do both. First, you need Facebook because your prospects are there. If they like your products/brand, they will look for you on the social network and like your page. That's how fans are. Their friends see the activity and hopefully they'll like your page too.

HOWEVER... if you want long-term SEO benefits for your business website (like higher rankings for target keywords, better visibility) you would want to focus on Google+. Plus is owned by Google and your activities on it can benefit your site rankings.

For example, when you search for a certain product online you might find those thumbnails of authors appearing with their articles/pages. And you would most likely click a search result with an accompanying photo than a plain text search result, right? Your prospects will do the same too. That's called Authorship Markup and your markup won't appear on search results unless *drum roll please* you link that content with your Google+ profile. In fact that little thumbnail IS your Google+ profile photo. That's why you need to set up a profile and a business page.

I'm a white label SEO reseller and right now Google+ setup is the most in-demand service from my clients (who are mostly small, local business owners in Indiana).

Best of luck,
Rick

Well, both are great ways to engage customers and a profitable way to bring huge traffic. It entirely depends upon you; how effectively you are going to use these platforms. Google+ is a brimming upcoming section which can serve a very fruitful way. Join communities according to your niche. Post valuable links. It will take few hours to take entire overview.

Facebook have killer groups to build your reputation, but G+ is great for local or SEO purpose.

No doubt that facebook is bigger than any other social media, and it is almost much easier and simpler to use. But if you can operate a google+ account then you should test on both of them, there may be a tough competition, but you will see the results by yourself.

I think combining both together is very powerful

Google+ currently has more of a business feel to it, from the groups I've seen. Combining Google+ with Facebook should increase accessibility to your market.

boths are social media sites but now days facebook are very popular i thinks facebook are very good options for promoting your's site google+ are also good but facebook are appropriate comparision google +

Both of them are important but my favorite is Facebook. I think it is easier to use the Facebook.

Use what works for you. I like LinkedIn for my business because that's where my customers are. (HR professionals)

Know you customer, what they use.

I think right now Facebook is the way to go. But use Twitter as well. Because with twitter you can add the hashtag. That means you put a # and whatever your keywords/ tags are after that sign. So if you are selling peanut butter and jelly sandwiches you can post- Love PB&J? youlink.com #PB&J #peanut butter #jelly #yummy Anyone looking for any of that will find your post/link. If you are able to connect your niche somehow with something that is currently trending (what everyone is searching for) all the better. As far as Google plus, unless you find yourself with a bunch of people in your circles there by some strange miracle, I would skip it and stick with FB and Twitter...for now. Until the next big thing happens.

As far as the users and visitors are all about Facebook is always the right choice.

More users for brand promotion, use Facebook. But G+ is great for SEO purpose.

Yep, G+ is a nice SEO toy. For my niche (women) pinterest is also very nice + facebook. There is not an universal formula for social sites that work for you - you have to test them out to find out.

If your blog or site is rich with photos, sign up for a Pinterest account and start creating pinboards. That will get a lot of click throughs to your website as visitors look for more related content.

Facebook is bigger in comparison of Google+, facebook are very famous in google+ and it is a best way for getting web-traffic. google+ are also good but if we can camparison in both than facebook is better google+.

You should really get familiar with both sites, and should add Pinterest and Tumblr to your list as well. They're really not that complicated once you get used to them and all have some similarities. Each of these platforms are huge and it doesn't cost anything to take advantage of them.

I haven't read through all the posts and I might repeat what has been already mentioned above, but I think each of the social networks can be useful for a business, whether it is Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest. The most important thing is not to create account or profile page wherever possible, but understand why we use a certain social network it and what goals we want to achieve. What is more important is to plan our activity in social networks and always have a well-thought and consistent content strategy at hand.
Today Facebook has more than 1.23 bln active users, while G+ is just gathering more speed.

Personally I would go for Facebook because they now have over 1 billion members making them the biggest social media site.

Google plus is good too but but not as powerful and Facebook when I comes to creating awareness if you are involved in any business at all.

Both are newbie friendly so you should have any problem setting up a profile with them two

Facebook and Google+ are important of social media.

Facebook suites for some industries and geographical location and on the other hand Google plus is also popular in a number of countries. So, to go with FB or G+, it all depends upon your industry and targeted geographical location.

Facebook will be king, they have no competition whatsoever, google plus isnt user friendly, it's too much associated with gmail which people don't like to hang out in email accounts.

For me, facebook is better because it is user friendly. Even newbies can easily use it. But i've heard a lot from successful online people about google. They said it is the #1 when it comes to ranking because of the SEO. Of which i agree because not all likes social media. Some people will just open their computer to search for something they need to buy. And google is the best on this.

I preffer Facebook, but it depends a lot on your target audience.
