Facebook all day every day.

I wouldnt even spend much of any of your time on Twitter IMHO

Hi,
In my opinion Facebook is much better then Twitter.
The reason is that Facebook is popular among every age group, so you get huge audience for your product or website.

Facebook is good now a days.

Facebook is best for driving traffic but some times your adsense get banned due to large volume of traffic from social media

I would say Facebook hands down completely! FB is very user friendly and there are many ways that you can use it to increase your email subscribers list. You can use FB groups, Fanpages or use their CPC or CPM Models. Are you doing list building with twitter?

Organic or paid? I think both platforms are now increasingly accurate with targeting on the paid side. On the organic side it has to be Twitter that is my preference purely because you can respond to someone's tweet and jump straight into conversation even if they don't follow you.

For e.g. you sell SEO services and search twitter for latest genuine seo queries. It's a great way to build relationships. This just isn't possible on Facebook due to privacy settings.

On the paid side however, the reach you can get from Facebook is incredible.

One more thing, Twitter is excellent for PR. All the journalists are on it and very active. Just search for the hashtag #journorequest and see for yourself!

It's Facebook. Twitter needs double energy because of too many Fake accounts LOL.

Certainly Face Book is better than Twitter.

I would say Facebook is #1, it has a few more advantages: For example videos. They're becoming more and more important because they can easily entertain and mostly doesn't require any efforts like understanding written words or something. Like I you can see here about facts about online video, Facebook is now number two after YouTube in terms of unique video viewers. That shows the importance of videos - and twitter tries to keep up with Vine.

Facebook has over 1.2 billion active users, potential clients

Twitter has only about 0.2 billion active users, from which a majority are unfortunately spammers.

I read somwhere that, overall, 99.8 % of tweets are never read by anyone

[DELETED]

Not doubt..Facebook is best now-a-days, I am busy with my Facebook pages with lots of traffic, not even a single moment on Twitter.

Hello,
I think both are most helpful for getting traffic.
In Facebook, we can promote our business more elaborately. Just like, we can use viewable image/videos in Facebook which helps to get better impact.

[DELETED]

Facebook is best due to multiple pages in one account while twitter is best due to its hash tags.

I prefer Facebook to be the best. Not everyone and in every country Twiiter is popular. But Facebook is popular in every way. Don't spend time on Twitter rather focus on Facebook Fan page, and try to make it awesome one..

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

Form me Facebook it can drive more traffic and your can earn some money as well because of that traffic especially in CPA.

[DELETED]

It is time to check in on the battle between Facebook and Twitter for dominance of the social media LOL. I like Facebook and Twitter both, with a slight edge to Twitter for it value as a news source and as a vehicle for B2B and B2C. Facebook does so well with the former. But instead of these two, my choice is Google+ which combines the best of both worlds and comes with built in SEO.
Thanks !

The best is to combine them, especially now because of facebooks EdgeRank algorithm.

It really depends on what you are trying to promote. Visual things tend to do better on Facebook.

All my traffic for my affiliate marketing firm comes from re-tweets of twitter, facebook doesn't count for more than 18% of my traffic. I find twitter is better for marketing, but if you want leads then facebook is the way to go. Just from my personal experience anyway.

faceboook takes some time and relationship building skills but does work just be patient with it....Twitter at one point was very good but now seems a waste of my time

[DELETED]

In my opinion Twitter is better than facebook, Because Twitter is a very large social channel, I know facebook as well and good network but in my personally Opinion because twitter gives me more effect result gives more traffic for my business My choice is {Twitter} {Twitter} [Twitter}

[DELETED]

For business and advertising, I think Twitter is more effective. More business owners are active on Twitter.

There's no reason to choose. Both networks have huge audiences and, regardless of your business, it's very likely segments of your market use both networks. Learn the proper etiquette of each network and combine their strengths. If you're doing any type of content marketing (and you should be), you would be stupid not to use both networks.

Aside from that, there's a lot of really bad advice from some people in this thread. If you're impression of Twitter is still that it's only for celebrities or people wanting to broadcast every minute event in their life like brushing their teeth, you really shouldn't be giving advice about social media marketing. That was decent advice 2007; it's terrible advice now.

There is an incredible amount of substantive discussion on Twitter. There are tons of business opportunities on Twitter. It is, by far, a much better method of spreading your content quickly. It is quite a lot easier to grow an audience, because Twitter is extremely open compared to Facebook.

Twitter is absolutely not just for celebrities any more and it's not a feed of mindless updates anymore, assuming it ever was.

Perhaps for you. For me, it is one of the highest drivers of traffic and they stay on the site just as long as visitors from Facebook.

I have 1,300 followers -- such is the beauty of Twitter. You don't need hundreds of thousands of followers to make an impact anymore than you need hundreds of thousands of fans on Facebook to make an impact. The ability to share via retweet increases reach of updates very easily and quickly.

I think facebook is better than twitter.Facebook appeals to people looking to reconnect with old friends and family members or find new friends online; the mashup of features like email, instant messaging, image and video sharing, etc. feels familiar, while Twitter is a bit harder to get your arms around at first.

Facebook is better with different functionality like groups, pages, places, etc

I would say facebook by the look's of it most of us here are of the same opinion.

It depends on what you're selling, and where your audience hangs out.

For us, for instance, we sell customer referral programs to businesses and marketers. Most of these people are easier to reach on Twitter than on Facebook. So Twitter gives us a much better ROI.

Facebook is better for reaching "regular" consumers- if you're selling dresses or shoes, for instance, or Oreos.

Know thyself, know thy product, and know ye audience!

[DELETED]

It all depends on your target audience but generally I prefer facebook since its more social/personal than the other!

[DELETED]

I prefer FB... I use/ have both but the average person on fb may have between 100-200 friends and may like a few pages but if you are on twitter most people are following hundreds - thousands of people so your news feed is forever ticking over, and who scrolls their twitter news feed.. not me so its harder for people to see what your saying, promoting etc where as on FB your fan base are more likely to see what you have to say.. Plus you cant really having a meaning conversation on twitter..

In my opinion,whatever facebook or twitter,they have each own advantage.i both like them very much,but it so regretful for me that i can use them freely.if we want to login them,we need to via the vpn tool.

[DELETED]

My personal opinion is Facebook, I simply had more success with it. You have many different ways to use it - posts, pages, groups, ads etc. I've also noticed that on Twitter more people are trying to just get their message out and ignoring everyone else, while on Facebook people are actually reading the posts. That's just my experience...

It's not about selling on social, it's about bringing together a group of people (Facebook) that have similar interests or interacting with people on twitter based on similar interests and conversations.

Which is better? I agree with ReferralCandy- it depends on what your niche is.
There's no right answer.

Is pinterest better than both of those? Maybe for interior design, baby stuff or fashion but certainly not for everything.

Know your audience and where they hang out.

I prefer both Facebook and Twitter as it depends on the post and tweets you tweet on facebook and twitter respectively, How useful it is for visitors or users, If they find some interesting post then only they will wish to visit your website or others posts.

As an Internet Marketer I'd say using both Facebook and Twitter is crucial to grow your business. It's not a matter of which one is better but instead of how many sources of traffic you use...

If the question is which one is better for marketing then I will definitely say Facebook is better. Facebook has a large audience and it offers more oppurtunities to do marketing. We just have to take the right marketing way via Facebook according to our niche. Because every niche can have different demand of engagement.

Both have their purpose and if you have a website, you must use Twitter as well as Facebook. However, I must say I earned a good amount of money with CPA offers on Facebook without website and direct links. I would not have been as successful with Twitter.

I used to make lots of sales via twitter but got my account with 60,000 followers suspended because they decided they didn't like tweetadder, or any automation software.. So twitter works well and less competition as they are all advertising on Facebook .. But unfortunately twitter is trigger happy at deleting accounts which makes it probably better or a bit safer to use Facebook ... :-)

[DELETED]

I guess the reason that you get more customers and traffic through twitter than Facebook is that you may more time on twitter, am I right?

Twitter is the most effective way to post your information, because you just need to type several lines and then you can finish posting your information. However, I like Facebook more than twitter because facebook allows us post information in details and facebook give us more options to communicate with our friends.

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

This continuation discussion is quite useless.

Facebook has now already over 1 300 000 000 active users, potential clients for your businesses.

Twitter has about 0.2 billion users, most of them spammers and bots though...

and actually more than 99.8% of tweets go unread by anyone ever...

In my opinion Facebook of course

I like both Facebook and Google+, though I'm not ignoring Twitter as it allows me to send out short burst messages to my followers. Also, since these tweets are public, they are picked up in a feed, when proper hashtags are used. And, so the tweets are likely to be seen by more than just my Twitter followers.

I prefer Facebook to twitter. Facebook gives many options to promote like fan page whereas tweeting is the only way to generate traffic in Twitter.

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

I have real followers in Facebook unlike Twitter so I'll choose Facebook over Twitter.

I think it's been said but yes you need to find the best platform for your particular niche. Where are the people you want to buy from you? Are they on Twitter? How are they consuming content? Are they in a buying mode? What about Pinterest? I have an e-commerce client who we do a lot of pinterest with and see good ROI from it.

But at the end of the day, you should definitely be using Facebook. I've had great success with it in terms of engagement and ROI from advertising.

[DELETED]

Hands down to Facebook! They are the 2nd best website behind Google and over Youtube. But I would recommend that you should use both Facebook and Twitter for your own campaigns.

They are both very good marketing tools, but I prefer Facebook. I do use both though, and encourage everyone to use as many social media platforms as possible. Facebook is good because you get more options when setting up a fan page compared to a Twitter account and there's a bigger chance of a post going viral.

No love for Tumblr? You can set up your tumblr to feed into both your facebook and twitter feeds

[DELETED]

I agree that each of them has their own advantage, but if you have to choose want then evaluate your target market(are they using twitter or facebook?). It is still advisable to get exposure as much as you can.

There's some good comments here, both for and against. I think Facebook is easier and quicker to build a following but Twitter can be a useful second tool.

Social media trend is the most effective tool to spread your news and reach millions of people in no time. There are many sites leveraging day by day, but I'd focus on 2 major sites-
Facebook and
Twitter

Why most people fail to benefit from social media campaigns?
I'm a sufferer and learned from failed attempts. That's why I can share my story to make you build better audience. Most campaigns do fail due to improper planning, over usage, untargeted audience and poor landing pages. I heard many people investing a lot of money for social promotions that resulted in digging their pockets.

Facebook overhaul: If you take a look at FB pages, you'll find hundreds of fanpages having 50,000+ fans. But how many get conversions? Probably less than 5%. That means 95% people are loosing bucks.
Once a people contacted me to sell his page with 150,000 fans. He wanted to sell because he can't make a penny from it.
There are lots of pages you'll find thousands of fans, but 0 interaction, no people like or comment on it.

Twitter overhaul: Same goes for twitter. Most of massive twitter follower-base profiles go without earning. About hundreds cheap fiverr gigs are available who want to tweet to their 100,000+ followers for 5 bucks.
Once I used one of them, that resulted me only 2 clicks. Holy gossss.
Most twitter users suffer from this scenario.

Which one wins?
To get fans is not easy, you've to do lots of works. You can use exchange services, but facebook frequently bans such pages.
Comparatively its easy to get twitter followers. There are handy software that can give you targeted followers, damn cheaper than facebook ads. And twitter exchange programs really work fine. Twitter directories work great to gain targeted followers.

Next one is placing links. how many links you can post on FB? Probably very few, if you post more 2-3 links at a time, FB will block you.
But you can post min 20 links on twitter without getting boiled. And most important key is you can post same link over and over 2-3 times a day. If it happens for FB, fans will leave and FB may blacklist you.

Getting traffic: Facebook drives quick traffic for photos, not for all links. 1%-5% CTR is very common for fanpages while some act very poor.
Twitter CTR is reasonably low, ideally we expect 0.5%-1.5% and it depends on 140 letters quality. But you can tweet same link 5-10 times, means 5-10 times traffic to your site.

I'm writing my words. And like to know what others see outcomes from these 2 giant networks.

In Indonesia, twitter is booming, everybody use twitter for business or talkin with friends. for business, i choose twitter. But twitter have weakness, the sentence is limited.

I prefer facebook & twitter both. Because both have their unique benefits according to their features.

For me, I think twitter is the best, 'Cause I use google adsense, and twitter CPC on adsense is so much better than facebook, and this is my second mounth on twitter I recieve 3000 visits per day

No doubt. Facebook is better.
Facebook is good that twitter because many of us are using Facebook more than twitter.

Facebook, of course! Facebook gets the highest conversions.

-k

From my point of view, Facebook is more useful compare to Twitter because it connected with more people and there were no word limit when we express our emotions for our product marketing.

[DELETED]

At present facebook is not only a popular social media but also the most popular site in the world. Facebook has the highest viewer all over the world. Even the viewer of facebook is higher then Google. Facebook is user friendly then Twitter. so undoubtedly you can say facebook is better then Twitter.

I personally feel why we are using twitter and begging to follow me, it is just for celebs or business marketers, where facebook provides much more friendly space.

Facebook by a mile!

Facebook is the best and popular social networking site. It has innovative features such as graphic search,newsfeed etc..

Twitter is great for promotional messages, but Facebook is much better in terms of conversion rates and fostering relationships with your audience.

Friends,
I think facebook is much more user friendly than twitter.
But Twitter is much more professional than facebook.

From my point of view, Twitter is much better and secured than FB.

In terms of DOLLARS and CENTS, Facebook is hands down better than Twitter.

I think Facebook is best because a large number of people come here everyday. So you can find easy traffic for your business.

Facebook is better then Twitter, by FB page you can engaged the fans via different posts, can promote your products/services and at the same time build your brand.

I was never able to get into Twitter very much. I strongly prefer Facebook.

[DELETED]

Facebook ppc is the best thing I would think about. I find it very helpful in generating leads. Loving it.

For me both are important and useful. Both of them have different way of working and it gives different results for different sites

Now both supporting hash tags. So both are good at their own ways.

i think facebook is better than twitter

For marketing perpective = engagement = click-throughs = Facebook.

For day to day use not being a marketing person = Twitter.

To earn some pocket change on weekly basis = Directly.me

I feel that facebook is more my speed. I have used twitter and while I like it, I find that I use FB much more. Just appeals to me more but both are excellent for business.

Both have their place. If you aren't using one you're missing out on a big chunk of traffic. Even if you only spend a few minutes per day on the one that you feel is "less better". It can still make enough of a difference to spend those extra couple minutes.

My opinion... use both!

I use them all together. I just make a blog and use Twitter, FB, Youtube. Better to use all than just 1 in my opinion. All in how you structure what you are doing.

Personally I would vote for Facebook because based on my experience twitter is difficult to penetrate since it's fast pacing and I'm getting a hard time to track down my past conversation. Maybe it just about finding the right social media platforms that works for you.

[DELETED]

Facebook has been my main source of traffic. I find Twitter visitors to have higher bounce rates than FB visitors

At the end of the day, our preferences don't matter. What does matter is where your target market is - and where you're merchants, brands & market leaders are.

Someone asked earlier why an average person would even use Twitter. The answer: because mainstream media is constantly encouraging it. Just turn on the TV and watch the hashtags flying all over the place!

If you're targeting a female audience, you need to be on Pinterest. Male/Tech, Google+. If you have a service-based business or target Professionals: LinkedIn. Want to network with brands and/or get sponsors & paid blogging opps: Twitter.

So it's less about your preferences, and more about serving your market, as well as your specific objective.

Im doing great with facebook and cool content.
Twitter is so full of trolls and crap.
Linkedin is better for business.

The differences between the two networks are substantial and in some ways a direct comparison between the two is actually difficult to make. Twitter is simple while Facebook offers a more complicated way.

In my opinion Facebook is better option as compared to Twitter .. because Facebook has world's largest user network so obviously you can get lots of traffic through FB.

Facebook and Twitter Both have their own use.

If you have good twitter followers you can use it other wise you can much concentrate on facebook.

Facebook's most common use is to keep people informed of what's happening. It's become a scrapbooking site, where people archive important moments in their lives. Twitter focuses on speeding things up, often becoming a source in and of itself.

Facebook -- without a doubt.

Facebook for me. I have used both for marketing my site but I found Facebook traffic to be much higher quality, and I found it easier to get traffic too. Facebook fan pages are a lot easier to promote than Twitter accounts, and you can reach out to so many people. You can take advantage of viral photo's too, and hold competitions a lot easier as well. Don't completely ignore Twitter though, it is useful too.

Defiantly Facebook.

It is the most active social media site.

I get positive result after using twitter, so i will go with twitter

I personally have never made a dime from Twitter or seen traffic coming from it and i have more followers on Twitter than I do on Facebook. I guess it all depends on who your target audience is, what your niche is and and what you're selling to them as well as the quality of your followers.

When I check the social profile of my list very few of them have twitter accounts but they all have facebook profiles.

There's SO much you can do to build your business on various social channels - much more than just "selling" to your followers. Including connecting with brands, merchants, affiliates & JV partners, market leaders / influencers, etc.

You may not see a high (direct) conversion rate on Twitter for example, but what if a major brand promotes your offer to their thousands of Facebook Fans (totally unsolicited highly targeted FREE advertising) based on a Tweet they saw because you used the right hashtag? This is from my own personal experience, and has happened more than once.

EVERY social channel has huge potential. It's a matter of using it correctly, and having a specific objective that strategically grows your business.

[DELETED]

OK in my opinion you should be taking advantage of as many traffic getting methods as you can. Both Facebook and twitter have their own merits, and if you are merely using either or both for social bookmarking purposes, you won't lose out.

I for one take advantage of these and others social sites with no great investment of my time.
I guess my answer is used judiciously both are of value, and you don't need to spend too much time in analysis of these two.

Just take the traffic they give you......

Facebook CPC is great source to gather traffic. I use Facebook ads frequently and getting lot of traffic from Facebook ads. Use of social media in a proper way will definitely lead to a huge traffic.

I use both facebook & twitter both are best resource for me....

you have many things to explore on facebook (join groups , create pages, etc.)
if you want any stuff to go viral on internet than facebook will always help you out
twitter is also a popular social site and mostly professionals use it. so on leads point of view twitter is equally good.
use both for marketing

[DELETED]

In my opinion Facebook is much better then Twitter

I have accounts with both. I hardly ever use twitter, I just find I can do allot more on facebook, and I find it a more enjoyable way of interacting with people. Having said that I will still use twitter for things in the future as it is very popular.

Sarah Lee

You can reach more target market using Facebook. It has pages, groups...etc. Just be sure to take advantage of these features and not be too spammy.

[DELETED]

Facebook, still.

Personally, I find Facebook as place from where my personal friends post their rants and that makes me annoyed that is why I prefer Twitter more. I can express myself more on Twitter and I find more serious people from there.

Facebook is definitely bigger and everything, but Twitter does offer marketers more freedom when it comes to approaching potential followers: it doesn't restrict you from talking to users who aren't following you yet.

This can be a very powerful advantage when you're just starting up and nobody yet knows who you are.

Fb, Facebook , Facebook.com is the best one for me.

[DELETED]

Both Facebook and Twitter have distinct advantages and disadvantages, so in marketing they should be use to complement each other, and not a one vs other choice. There are people on Twitter who are not avid Facebook users and vice versa. Therefore to get to both crowds, you need to have marketing strategies for both FB and Twitter. My humble opinion.

They are quite different social networks. And it is difficult to say which one is better. It should depend on your needs and thus you can decide which is better for you. It is not possible to judge from outside.
I personally do not use Twitter, but plenty of my friends like it. And I rarely use Facebook (but I used to use it a lot before), I just got tired of Internet communication. I prefer it in real life now
Good luck with your choice!

Facebook to Twitter is like apples and oranges. It really depends on your objective.

I personally don't spend much time on Facebook. Nor does my company spend much energy advertising on there. Why? Because Facebook is purely a consumer network where as a marketer, what you are trying to do, is intrude on individuals' personal communication with their friends and family. Granted, Facebook is becoming incredibly accurate at targeting demographics with ads, but it will always be a place where people are AVOIDING hearing from you and looking at your ads.

On the other hand, Twitter, while its user base is not as large, and it's not quite as sophisticated at targeting ads, it is much more natural to be marketed to when you're on there. What you may not realize is that people are increasingly using twitter as a source of information - what articles to read, what news just broke, etc. I've never experienced another service that, when i see an ad (in this case a sponsored tweet), i actually read them, because they're so natural to what I'm already doing on Twitter.

The only service that trumps Twitter's ability to naturally market to its audience is the big G. People go to Google to find things, so being advertised to, and in turn helping people more easily find what they were searching for (adwords) will always be king in internet marketing.

As a general rule of thumb, if you're advertising to consumers, Facebook may seem like the place to do so, but in the long run you're likely going to have more success engaging with and marketing to an audience that wants to be engaged with - such as Twitter.

Even though twitter brings in more traffic, I think Facebook traffic converts a lot better, so I will have to say Facebook all the way

[DELETED]

From our research, if you are talking about conversions, Facebook converts 1-5%, Twitter converts 1-3%. We are in the bar/restaurant vertical, so keep that in mind. These are the numbers to convert people to a physical location. Mobile coupons convert in the 10-25% range. You would need to organically generate your own Opt-In list to send out those coupons and/or contacts via text. More work but better results.

yup, I'm votin facebook too

I use both. The main reason for me using them are for backlinks to my content. Facebook feels more personal. With Twitter though you could have a large amount of people following you but I would say 98% of the time no one see your tweets. Think about it how often do you look at all your followers tweets.

It is quite difficult to draw comparison between Facebook and Twitter, Both Facebook & Twitter has there own benefits & Limitation. On one hand where Face book offer you reach your audience through social media business page, get instant feedback regarding your products, service, sharing etc. On other hand Twitter provide platform for increasing your follower, re-tweeting facilities etc. Choosing of Facebook or Twitter does depend on the Geographics region of your country. what people or audience prefer over the other.

Facebook for sure for businesses. You can do so much more including Facebook promote, Facebook ads and reach out to more people. One advantage of Twitter is their hashtag, but Facebook implemented that feature!

I would say Facebook since they keep on adding features especially the hashtag available on the said popular platform. They also had advertisement for online retailers or website owners to promote their site.

[DELETED]

I think facebook is better than twitter.
And in china facebook is more popular.

as twitter is much limited as compare with Facebook.but for business purpose twitter is much better than Facebook.

Now doubt facebook is best in all social networking sites. My personal experience about twitter is not good waste of time and energy.

Facebook and Twitter both are good. But Facebook is better than for Social Networking and it generates lots of traffic too than twitter.

[DELETED]

I've spent a ton of time on Twitter in the past and have never seen any results from it. At least on Facebook I'm able to see some results fairly quickly. For me it's Facebook hands down. I just don't get Twitter.

Two different animals which serves different purposes. I find myself on FB most of the time because it is more content driven. IMO FB is great for B2C advertising-that's if your clients are individual consumers. If you are B2B, Twitter "may" benefit you more. I say use both and link the two accounts. Post on FB and it will auto tweet. Can't really compare the two at this point. We'll see which one is better once Twitter goes public(IPO).

[DELETED]

Interesting demographics by BI Intelligence. If your looking for an audience with money, 73% of FB users report income in excess of $75k. Twitter users, less than 8% reach that level. OTOH, Twitter is trending younger with 27% between 18 & 29 (vs. 30-40s only 8%). End of the day, I'd use Twitter to support and build buzz but Facebook to seal the deal.

I use both... but when I look at my blogs statistics I feel that twitter is not for me... google+ and facebook are 90% better

I personally think that the people using Facebook and Twitter are different and you have more teenager in the first one vs more thirty to fifty in the second one.

If you know how to use them both you can leverage their different demographic and take advantage of it.

Facebook is definitely better, but I like Twitter more because I feel more engaged with the users. But that's just my personal bias.

I feel Facebook is better as it shows so much more than twitter although the ease of use for Twitter I feel is better so each has its strong points.

When we think of Facebook, first thing that comes in mind is images, videos, likes, comments, interactions, etc. With Twitter, points that strike are 140 characters, new updates, latest updates, followers, tweets, etc. There is a link between these two social media sites and that is the use of "Hashtags" which was introduced recently.

Both are at the top and trending today in social media. Both rock in their own ways.

Facebook V/s Twitter - Who is better ~ Facebook Tips and Tricks

Facebook marketing should be definitely better then twitter, you can easily capture traffic for your business from Facebook by creating post, page and by groups.

I definitely have to go with twitter

Both are valuable, however Facebook is set up much better for marketing than Twitter.
Though I do think it is easier to build a popular twitter account

Facebook is best among all social networks due to its excellent traffic.

[DELETED]

I find Facebook better personally Twitter got me nothing had about 8 followers in 2 weeks pretty poor yes but i couldn't find how to get more.

Based on my experience, facebook is better to promote a product because we can target the consumer precisely

I always choose Facebook.

All these social media help posts are awesome. I've noticed that I get far better results with Twitter.

I like Both they serve a dual purpose to me Twitter has less restrictions and is easier to post vs Facebook. You can tween something in less than a minute where as Facebook you have enter a captcha code.

Facebook is more friendly, and Twitter works better for Celebs i feel.

it seems that the majority of billions of users online use facebook and not twitter

According to me Facebook is better then twitter.

I strongly recommend to Facebook because we can drive traffic on our website easily by create page on Facebook

I like Twitter because it is easy and no captcha codes but if you want the most visitors and members then Facebook takes it hands down.

Facebook is the king, everybody knows its best man.

Facebook all day long for me. it's a lot easier to get fans on Facebook, I can systematically and with quite predictable(compared to everything else online) results grow the traffic.

Can't say that about many other places ...

Now a days, Facebook is better then twitter with respect to traffic.

I am good at Twitter marketing so I use it more. I am still learning how to market effectively on Facebook. From what I understand though, Twitter is the place to be, huge growth and it is constantly evolving which keeps things interesting! Also look out for niche social networks that are growing .

I would agree with most of the posts and say that Facebook is better than Twitter but I mostly say that because I don't have as much experience with Twitter. I'm curious, has anyone had a great deal of success marketing your business on Twitter?

Hi,
In my viewpoint Facebook is much better then Twitter .
The purpose is that Facebook is well-known among every age team, so you get large viewers for your item or web page.

facebook is more common between us than twitter now days. facebook is having more features than twitter. so that you can generate more traffic from facebook.

At the moment i think it cannot be made a comparation between Facebook and Twitter. Facebook have much more users than Twitter and this says all.

To me Twitter is better I get so many followers at least 10 a day just give something interesting and they will follow

they both good in there own way but at the end of the day facebook has more subscribers than twitter.

I think I get a lot more traffic to my sites with twitter. Probably equal engagement on both though, just less click traffic on FB.

Twitter to me is the best site if you want to drive more traffic to your website. Just make sure all the links you shared are worth it for everyone to click on it..
..the morepost (meaningful ones) you shared the more people will follow you..

Both are good but still choose 2 of them its facebook

My favorite is facebook even though it seems it is phasing out and being replaced personally, I do not believe it has reached it's full potential in the business arena. My personal opinion.

Yes, twitter is the best place to bring in more customers than Facebook...as Twitter allows hash tags, you can make use of the hash tags to reach targeted audience.

FB is for every person.
twitter is for businesses.
it depends upon the usages. but FB is all rounder.

Facebook is better than twitter because you can chat with your friends in Facebook but no any option to live chat in twitter...

Hi, Twitter and FaceBook have both been gaining so much popularity. A lot of people would argue that Twitter is better than FaceBook, while others prefer FaceBook over Twitter. I am a huge fan and user of both social media platforms. Twitter drives the most traffic of all the major social networks ! A study showed that shares made on Twitter trigger, on average, 33 visits to websites, compared to 14 for Facebook and 10 for LinkedIn. I can confirm this fact, as I study everyday's clicks on this blog - and the majority of visitors come from Twitter. Twitter is better than Facebook because I feel as if a lot more people now have a Twitter. At one point Facebook was popular but then people switched over to Twitter because people are able to post pretty much whatever they want. And say almost anything that they want. Also, it is also much simpler so its easier for the adults who do use it. Have a nice day

Facebook. THere is nothing better than having a truthful fan community around a certain topic on Facebook. Twitter is much more limited concerning the options you have to build a lasting relationship with your fans. Furthermore, twitter doesn't allow to buy followers legally. In case of Facebook, you can purchase "likes" and take your business to your next level. Content goes also more viral on Facebook than on Twitter.

Facebook over here!

both better now they compete each other but if compare best is facebook

This is a tad like fanboys arguing if Superman or Thor would win in a fight. Facebook and Twitter are totally different creatures, each with its own capacities and advantages. It's not about figuring out which one is objectively better, it's about finding the optimal solution for your own business.

And Thor would totally kick Kryptonian butt, by the way.

For me Facebook is best way better then Twitter.

for me , its facebook.

hello,
In my opinion both are good because both are captured the whole market ,but i think both have there own advantages .Facebook is famous among the youngsters for networking Twitter is something where we can find some serious topic and discussion also.

Twitter keeps you updated about the people who you follow. Facebook keeps us updated of just about anything. Facebook pages give us tips, news, suggestions and more online shopping options.

People from all walks of life also enjoy Facebook. It's a lot easier to use and there are so many things you can do while logged in.

This is just my personal opinion though.

Nate

Twitter is easier to use and no captchas but you can't beat the exposure with Facebook. So my advice do both

Facebook , twitter feels like something is missing

[DELETED]

Both work equally but in different ways

In my opinion both social networking site have their own importance we can not compare each other as their format is completely different as on twitter their is some limitation of words on post where as there is no word limit on facebook for post and comment and there is some limited access and restriction on twitter, but these things are very lees on facebook in comparison to twitter. If we talk about traffic from these two sits i think twitter provides more traffic in comparison to facebook because of its restriction on word limit that is why it only provide the specific description for detailed description we need to follow the link so most of the time people make their tweet attractive so that user can follow the link whereas on facebook their is lots of thing is their without any restriction so it is difficult to make a post unique and attractive enough to draw the traffic.

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

HI

I would go for facebook

You must use both or you will miss out. Both have advantages and not all people are on both? I personally like twitter because no captchas but the downside only 160 characters

I choose Facebook for sure...

[DELETED]

Well I say Facebook because it has the ability for people to get to know you before you even sell them anything... You can also start up chats with people easier and have a complete log of conversations for years... Which makes it easy to remember what you talked about before with that same person!

I say use both to help build each other! I used twitter to build my Facebook friends fast and that has worked wonders in my business!

Generally they are both perfect if you know which one where and how to use. They are both good for different areas and you can benefit from them differently. Twitter is more for sharing short texts. If you have a news or some phrases to share twitter can get you better results by tweeting, use it as rss feed. For other stuffs use facebook. You also can use twitter to tweet your facebook posts. The audience that you can reach in both may be different. That's why if you use both in the right way, you will be able to benefit from both and reach audiences in both that you may not be able to reach at only one of them. Differ both from each other.

I've been seeing more action - retweets, follows, favorites, traffic - from Twitter over the past month. About zero from Facebook, even from a page with 14k followers.

I LOVE the simplicity of Twitter and the streamlined look. I plan to use it to help sell my Amazon books.

Plus with 4756385656439 users, Facebook is too full of people. I choose to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond with Twitter, instead of a single-celled organism in an ocean with Facebook.

Of course, you can link them all from one dashboard...

[DELETED]

Ah both are good no comparison

I'm doing both.. somehow I can connect better with individuals on Twitter rather than on a Facebook fan page (where people do more "Likes" and that's it).

But I guess it depends on your niche and audience? I know some can connect better on Facebook because Twitter stream can be too crowded and not to mention that character limit...

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

Facebook is best.

I would take 10,000 Facebook likes over 1 Million Twitter followers, easier to monetize

I've seen course on marketing for both....not that I have taken those courses ;D but I have seen they are available, but in my opinion they are two completely different monsters. The cool thing with twitter is that its simple and has a lot of integration with other social media including facebook and instagram...so what ever I share on those, I can easily share on twitter...Yes, you can do that w/ facebook but the way the post shows up there is different, not that engaging on the other hand the post on twitter is the same no matter where it's coming from..but thats just my opinion.

Now a days Facebook is best compare to Twitter.

Depends...

Branding: Twitter (Facebook is better, if you are willing to pay for branding)

Generating Leads: Facebook

most of the people prefer to use facebook when comapre with the twitter .Facebook is user friendly when compare with the twitter.

I've gotten more response from Facebook. There's more traffic on Facebook, and I believe that it's more versatile as a social platform. Plus, if you don't mind spending a few dollars, you can boost and/or promote your posts on Facebook and get more traffic.

-Stephen-

Facebook can drive more traffic to your site than Twitter. If you look at its popularity and community, undeniably Facebook is on top of minds of those people/companies who wanted to get more popular worldwide.

[DELETED]

I've just started using Twitter. However in terms of attracting customers and traffic, I gotta go with Facebook. It allows for more input such as images, group chats, fan pages, as well as paid advertising. Also, there's WAY more people connected to Facebook compared to Twitter.

[DELETED]

I think It depends on using. Personally facebook is more perfect than twitter for marketing my product.

Definitely facebook.. Theyve been very good to me in the past

I would go with Facebook.


But for a younger crowd of prospects

I see Twitter having the edge.

I like them both for different reasons, I think FB is better these days.

twitter over facebook! thats my opinion

Facebook is the best

Hi,

2 different socials, 2 different segments but in my experience Facebook converts better than twitter

It depends what you are using it for.... Twitter is more basic than Facebook. With Facebook you can do many things that can't be done with twitter. I guess they both have their uses.

Facebook is better than twitter.
It is popular. Everyone use facebook as a mass communicting means.

I personally have more success with Facebook than Twitter, I guess it is because the interaction is more visual and therefore a post has the potential to go viral.

I feel each have their own place.
Once can be much more detailed with Facebook whereas Twitter is more concise. Also, tweets can be shown on one's Facebook page, so I think Facebook is more all-encompassing.

I prefer Face book...Because it is the best way to explore yourself....

As per my opinion Facebook is best as compare to Twitter at present scenario....

Facebook is the better one as it gives more exposure to the posts one will have a greater possibilities of getting more clicks.

Both are great. But I prefer Facebook.

I think this thread should be "Why Facebook is far better than Twitter?"
C'mon, we cannot compare Facebook with Twitter at the moment.

Facebook is number 1, because you can get advertise here very easily and get a lot traffic as well.

On the other hand Twitter is not good in advertising.

[DELETED]

Yestyle, good question. Our marketing group recommends that the signature you post in your content include your Facebook address for people to click on or copy and paste.

Think about it, when you connect with people on facebook, you also connect with their friends! If you post on their timeline, their friends will potentially see the content - and the average person has 150 friends!

Have a fantastic day!

facebook users are valueless compared to twitter users - u can drive tons of traffic from facebook but most of them are from india , egypt ... they wont buy anything
in my experience i guess twitter users are elite , & they are ready to buy from you

[DELETED]

Facebook is better than twitter .Facebook gets an A+ for network reach, with 1.15 billion active users that share 4.75 billion items daily.

Facebook allows you to share a lot more information at a glance than Twitter does. You can imbed images, videos, and even create interactive pages.

Facebook is also a great place to offer colorful coupons, article excerpts, and incentives such as "like" our page and get 10% off or we will "like" you back.

I agree with this opinion, honestly, I have more interactions on facebook by its chat. very useful tool.

Hmm... Lots of comments here. For me, as a social network for personal life I would prefer Facebook as all my friends are connected there. I like twitter also.

But when it comes to business and marketing issue. I would always prefer pinterest. Because:

1. Huge traffic
2. Targeted traffic
3. Most of users are ladies, passionate about shopping
4. Traffic Converts very well

I believe the combination of using both together works really well. We take care of a lot of business' accounts and we put together a pretty solid way of growing communities by linking twitters, facebook and instagrams together... also with local directory sites to ensure reviews/ratings were given!

i honestly think facebook is better. twitter hurts my eyes. facebook has made me good money.

I would say facebook

Facebook and Twitter are both useful.
However, Facebook definitely has a wider base. And tweets can be shared on Facebook.

[DELETED]

Facebook is better than the twitter because more and more people are using facebook than the twitter

I can't think of any reason not to use BOTH

[DELETED]

I will prefer as compare with twitter due to its lot of extra and amazing features.

This is an apples to oranges comparison. They are two different animals. Best advice I ever got was from Scott Stratten's book "Unmarketing". He explains why both are important.

Off course, Facebook have more visters then Twitter,
Facebook have fan page option meanwhile, Twitter has no fan page options.
Facebook also offers PPC (Paid Campaigns) for advertiser, and Twitter has not any options.
so i would like to recommend FaceBook and Google Plus for best Advertiser, Twitter is just only for Personal Tweets.

Hmm , Here my vote is for twitter, Based on our research, and from others resources as well, what i have found is- Twitter is the fastest indexing website after cnn and bbc. The another resion why i am with Twitter is - twitter has fastest growing rate across the world.

Facebook is better. If you're good with social marketing then i would suggest using Facebook.

With Facebook you can build more of a relationship with your prospects and customers, which will turn them into more of a life long customer if done right.

Where as Twitter is more of waving hello to people, it will drive a lot of traffic and make a few sales but that's it pretty much a drive by. Now if you can drive them back to facebook have them like your page, then you can target them on both platforms.

But hands down Facebook is better and for many reasons.

That would be depend on your preferences or niche that you are into I personally go for both of it but I'm more of a Facebook user than Twitter

This isn't a fair question, really. It's like "Apples or oranges?" They are two different things. If you're going to have to choose only one thing for some reason, then Facebook all the way (to the bank!) but if there's no reason you can't have a twitter account as well then have both. Depending on your niche, you can really get a lot of bang for your buck.

Obviously Facebook. this site is on number one so its big proog that which one is best
But many people like to work on twitter as well.

My All time Favourite is facebook

I find Facebook more effective for social marketing, it has many options and better tools.

I think face book is better than twitter

Facebook is using more people than twitter. Facebook can use any kind of people and twitter is for advanced user. From my view point facebook is better.

Yes Facebook is good. I vote for Facebook always

I think that facebook is better than twitter.

I think Facebook better! Sorry i can't good English!
You can visit my site Nguyễn Quốc Trung or SystemTN. You can learn tuts SEO good!

It would have to be Facebook, although for a complete campaign I would not avoid using Twitter totally. It almost depends on your niche, but I would expect most marketers and businesses to get more out of Facebook every time. The proof is in the pudding - I've had leads and reasonable traffic from both, so I wouldn't choose one over the other unless your time is very limited.

Facebook is better than twitter

Facebook is undoubtedly where you want to be right now.

For personal use, I have always seen Facebook being the best and to me, Twitter isn't even a comparison. Unfortunately when it comes to business, both have pros and cons. I have found that businesses starting up on social media get a lot more traffic via Twitter. It seems like it takes twice as long to build up a page on Facebook versus on Twitter. Like someone already mentioned, a lot of the people that respond, follow you, and etc. are spam or aren't valid/reputable pages. It is important to be on both to reach out to different types of audiences, and it is also nice to not have a word limit on Facebook. It's also important to get the word of your pages out through people you know, and have ones that have an influence in your industry to pass it along...the old 'word of mouth' sometimes works better than paying for followers.

I see a lot of people saying Facebook, so i will play devils advocate here and side with Twitter

Here are the facts

Twitters IPO did much better than Facebook. Its IPO per share valuation almost double in the first 24 hours.
Twitter has much more room for growth. Twitter is respectively just getting started
Twitters share of Mobile Platform was 70%
Twitters Advertising is much more user friendly because it focuses on engagement rather than clicks or views
Facebook has become more of an anti-social network lately...i digress on that one
Twitter spends more of its revenue on R and D than any other social network platform


There are other reasons but I will leave it at that. Just another viewpoint on the discussion

Facebook and Twitter isn't a good comparison. Both can make you money, but FB is hot right now and every marketer knows.

You can generate money with Twitter, but you have to get interactive with the community; and stop hyper-posting your affiliate links. Twitter is more like a cat, you have to earn its respect.

Now, if you want to spark a real conversation, compare Facebook to Google+ and take a pulse of the market. The Big G is the silent killer. So remember this, when everyone is going right... the future is left. (There's opportunity here for the smart marketer.)

Almost people think that Facebook is better than Twitter. If there is a poll, I think facebook will have more than 80%.

No reason not to use both, if only to cross promote by having your tweets point to your Facebook page posts.

Facebook and twitter both are having their own value in social media. Twitter is simple and easier than facebook. In facebook we should spend more time than twitter's tweets...

Facebook is better.

Both Social sites are famous but as per my opinion Facebook is best because it gives many option to make your post more popular. Twitter is also best site but its sounds good for famous person. If anyone just started to social sharing then Facebook is best for initial level.

Facebook for profile and low cost advertising. Creating YouTube Videos can be a very powerful way to draw traffic. The only thing I found twitter good for was sending my twitter followers to my Goodreads page.

Face book is better then twitter. Face book is user friendly...

I get traffic from both. I find that posting value content is the secret and I attract traffic that way.

facebook is the top of all social media sites.

Both have good ways to drive traffic. But I think in the end twitter is better!

I think Facebook have some advantage over twitter that Facebook have more trust between friends so that when you promote a product there you are most likely to get results with Facebook. However it all depends on your own behavior on those social websites, how many followers or friends you have and the amount of engagement you have. you have to test by your own to see which one is better for you.

It depends upon your business or marketing objective and your most wanted TG, if you look at PR twitter is PR10 which is one among very few and FB is PR9. FB offers various options to target or reach right TG, Twitter does not have that. And in advertisement point of view also facebook is better than twitter. But lot of practising marketers claim that Twitter drives better quality traffic than FB.

I have always seen Facebook being the best and to me, Twitter isn't even a comparison

Twitter is a great tool to reach people and make them aware of your brand. Here are some tips to get you going:
1. Define Market
Your tweets won't work in a scattered community. Identify your audience and engage with them.
2. Follow others
Following others will help you get more followers. You will also have to follow the right people or brands. Three types of people you should be following are Potential Clients, People who will spread your message and your rivals.
3. Test
Test and experiment with different techniques and strategies. You will be learning at the same time finding out what works best for you.

both are good but if i have choice to pick one i will choose FB for sure

Facebook is better in compare of twitter on my view.

Of Course, Facebook is better than twitter. And it is more user-friendly as compared to twitter.

Vote for Facebook..

Facebook is better because of the level of user engagement it has. If someone have good followers, they should not ignore twitter as well.

Though I don't use Twitter all time like
Facebook. But Facebook works for me
and I get lots of results compare when I use
Twitter.

If you look at it from a market capitalisation basis Facebook wins over Twitter that just IPOed. You can really see the perceived value from there.

Twitter is definitely easier for generating followers. But the disadvantage is that since the newsfeed flows so fast, your tweet is likely to completely disappear within an hour after you post it, therefore it requires much more energy to remain relevant.

Facebook has more diversified ways of presenting your message, and the newsfeed moves much slower. But the hard part is to generate "likes" or followers. If you have a good base on Facebook, I would say Facebook is better.

[DELETED]

I just go with Facebook..
FB is very useful for Brand promotion..Fan pages / Facebook Poll
Publish poll on Fan Pages or our wall to widen our business to social media communities. Post poll and let people know about your brand.

I don't think twitter is catching on... Facebook has too many user for twitter to catch. But i read a lot of teenagers from Europe are leaveing Facebook :/

[DELETED]

Yes, Facebook is better than Twitter because it has more users. Moreover, in Facebook you can create groups and business pages which is very helpful to generate traffic.

Lol, there are so many threads about Facebook and Twitter which one is better. Do they make any influence to your business ?

In My view, Facebook is better than Twitter. Because, by using Facebook i am driving traffic to my website and Facebook is SEO friendly too.

I used Facebook before using Twitter. Comparing between Facebook and Twitter, I think Facebook is more friendly and easier to use than Twitter.

For marketing purposes, Facebook is much better than twitter.

Facebook is much better than twitter because of his more popularity and easy to use.

No doubt Facebook. It is more famous and easy to access rather that twitter. Facebook has users from all age group and work area. Whereas, twitter is quite limited for only business purpose or business oriented people.

Facebook's Organic reach is dead. So, it is better to use Twitter for your marketing strategies.

Both the sites has the advantage. For certain stages may be twitter will lead the way, but no site has come forward as of now to beat FB. I think so you have focused more on twitter than FB, that's why you are getting more visitors from twitter than FB.

My vote will go to Facebook .. !!!

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

Twitter gets you customers because you worked on twitter more than any other social media site.
You should use more social media sites.
Otherwise twitter isn't all that. Google+ is better than that

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

Of course facebook, if we are talking about social marketing.

Facebook works for my niche...I've heard lots of people say they are a bit confused by Twitter, but it just depends on your niche and what kind of success you've had. The quality traffic talks!

If we talk about Traffic , then no doubt facebook is best. Twitter cant drag traffic easily t o the sites.

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

I had an account on twitter years ago preferring Facebook, decided to check them out again as back when I first started I found Twitter very hard to use or understand..
As I no longer use the email account I originally signed up with and couldn't remember my sign in details..weeks later twitter support inform me they could not help, suggesting I open a new account.
Opening a new account is no easy task, I click on the signup link and it takes me to a page with 2 cellphones with no way to signup..
Not user friendly at all if new members have difficulty in creating a new account/signup.

Facebook is #1 in my book.

I like both platforms because I use them regularly and both are unique in their own ways.

[DELETED]

It may be happens with you that Twitter is good for you and Twitter brings more customers and traffic than FaceBook but in my opinion both have their own place. I use both of them for Social Media and get different traffic at my website.

I am more likely to choose facebook, terms of use and the quality is still good facebook, can create a group and others..

Both are good man. But if comparison facebook is better then twitter.

Obviously it depends how you are using it. Using hashtags on twitter can be very useful, and great for promoting your business within local communities. I know of people that have had alot of success with facebook using their ads service

Dear,
Its very typical to say that which one is better because its depends upon the perceptions of each-other peoples. We can use one of them with quality surfing also.

I personally like Facebook, allows for more dynamic content.

In my opinion, I think Facebook is the best choice (you can build your communication in here with your group, fan page, ect..)

Depends what you're looking for. FB is awesome for marketing. Twitter is good for traffic and searching new trends and stuff.

I choose Facebook. I use Twitter by utilizing Hootsuite and that saves me a ton of time!

Its a common question I answered many time. Same words both are good but if compare facebook is better then twitter.

[DELETED]

Due to the fact that Facebook is more common among people across the globe and people of almost every age group. It is easier to connect to people through Facebook and my vote is for the same.

Facebook all the way

[DELETED]

It depends on what purposes you use. But it's absolutely evident that Facebook has for most purposes to be better than twitter. Twitter according to me can be used for driving traffic if you have a news website. It can be used as an RSS and tweet all the time the headlines for your news.

[DELETED]

I agree with you twitter is the best platform to engage your audience. Today Facebook are losing its popularity in market. People doesn't like promoted posts in FB.

It's too bad that facebook ad traffic is all mostly bots and rubbish I hope twitter finds a way to create an ad platform

[DELETED]

Now a day all people use Facebook so facebook is better compare to twitter.

For marketing purposes I believe that although Twitter can be a decent tool, Facebook is far better and more useful for the majority of SME's

Hi,
I am truly agree with you.
twitter is better then facebook because twitter have mostly true account than facebook.

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

I think both Facebook and Twitter are being used for same or different purpose. By the help of FB you could get more audience of any age group. In the case of Twitter, you can have specific audience related to your interest and it might be helpful for growing business.

Both are amazing but different in their use. Both are FREE traffic fountains. Content is king. Focus on this and the money will follow in time.

facebook is everything coz i don't know how to make twitter be marketing online.

Both are best to get good traffic. it depends how do you run your campaign on both in best way.
subscribe good tools for your campaign for better results, discuss with social media marketers for good results read social media blogs for better understand Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook is best.

Obviously facebook. Huge amount of traffic only on facebook.

I think twitter because twitter forces us to be more concise and to just publish what really matters whereas facebook is having so many things on it like unwanted games, pages and so many things which is actually should not be related to social media promotion. So twitter is better...!!

Twitter! You can vent your feelings as much as you want without people getting annoyed. On facebook it's weird if someone keeps posting a status! Plus you can see what your favorite stars are up to and maybe get them to tweet you back.

[DELETED]

I think Twitter is better than facebook.In twitter I can interact with people easily.

Both of them are better.
Don't ignore one for another.

facebook because the marketing options that's available to use... and the audiences

My personal opinion is Facebook, I simply had more success with it. You have many different ways to use it - posts, pages, groups, ads etc

I think Facebook is better. I found its easy to use & also to get huge traffic on facebook.

[DELETED]

Right now, Facebook without any doubt. I managed to promote a personal blog to about 500 people in just a few days

Hi guys,

More me facebook is off the chart,

Here are few tips which I am using for all my 10 pages and my fan following is growing and growing. Hope you'd find it helpful.

Legit Tips:

1. Change your Facebook page URL:

Well first of all you should change your facebook page URL to a custom URL something Like this facebook.com/yourcustomURL.

2. Customize your page like a professional:

This one is must, Only having a facebook fan page is not enough for your blog/website/business, you got to do same serious customization like...

a) Creating a cool looking timeline pic
b) Add other socail media Tabs like twitter and youtube.
c) Sign Up form so that people can subscribe to your email list. In this way, you can also build your Email List.
d) Add "Visit My blog or website" custom tab
e) Write description about page and do forget to add your blog and website URL in that and Make it sort and precise.

3. Post during Peak hours:

I mean how can you expect someone to like your page when they are sleeping or doing other stuff ????

To find out the "peak hour", post 2 and 3 content at different time and check on what time your post is getting more responce. Note that time and try to post only that time.

4. Be consistent.

If you are posting only one post per day, make sure do that because it may be chance that your followers are waiting for your content.

5. Do not buy facebook likes:

Now if you want to promote your page.....do it in legit way. Hire facebook page....hahahaha Good line "Hire facebook"...okay hire facebook to promote your page.

I promoted my 3 pages using facebook and i can tell that its really cheap(100 likes for only 1 dollar) and your going to get quality followers.

6. End your post with ?????

Yes this always works, end your post with one or two questions and let your followers answer then.

You'd see that sometime your one post can create one "war room" where your followers are fighting with each and other......and you are going to love that .

2.Tricks :

Now as you know, "too much honesty can kill you", its time to learn some tricks.

I think you have already heard about like exchange websites....if not simply search on Google.

If you are using any of these website, here is one tips that you may find interesting.

As you know all like exchange website are providing affiliat program and they are asking you to share their links on facebook, twitter, google.....blah blah...

just share that link on your facebook account and then add that post to those website for sharing. got my point or not ,

okay let me explain one more time.

Whatever like exchange website you are using right now, it is also giving you their affiliat program...right?

Share your affiliat program on your facebook timeline and then add this post to your like exchange website for sharing....now two thing is going to happen.

1. if someone is going to sign up through you post, you'd get extra points for it.
2. Other people are sharing your stuff so it may be chance that their friends are going to like you page.


Ohhh boyyyy, I can't believe, I have written this much.....okay guys one more

I've been more focused on Facebook for engaging customers. I feel a better connection to people on FB than on Twitter.

[DELETED]

It's really hard to compare. Better to use both to increase the effect.

Facebook ! Most people from every walks of life has a FB account

[DELETED]

neither are "better"....this is kinda silly actually. Both are great ways to drive traffic but require different approaches to maximize their potential.

[DELETED]

Facebook and twitter both are better and brings and get the traffic which increase page rank.

[DELETED]

Accoding me and my industries experience in these aria. facebook is much better of twitter. we are chose our selected member very easily like friends age group, business friends, and making page area is very demanded and advertisement. join new member in Facebook better twitter. facebook is day by day popular and demanded.

HI, Both are impotent to get traffic and business but face is one of the best than twitter.

[DELETED]

I haven't read the whole thread, but would like to share my point of view.
To my mind, it's impossible to compare Facebook and Twitter. They both are "must-haves" for each business. Combined with other social channels and promotion tools, they could of great help.

Facebook is still my first choice. but you can use both anyway as long as can get traffic and make money. ^^

[DELETED]

I think Facebook is better then twitter. Because Twitter has 140 character tweet limit but facebook have probably 1500 character post limit. So you can share more details about your thinking or business or opinion.
Other hand, Facebook is more popular then twitter due to chatting option. There is more Reason that's why Facebook is better then Twitter.

The option has to be Facebook because of the age groups.
This can really depend on the niche; the target but usually I would go for Facebook.

I have only used Facebook & I have had great success with them.

[DELETED]

Dear I saw some interesting replies in this thread. But let me put it straight

Facebook and Twitter Go Hand In Hand if you really want to succeed in getting traffic in social media marketing.

For me both get subscribers daily and are working wonderfully well. THe only difference in pproach that I suggest is -

1. Facebook - Use More Pictures in your posts.
2. Twitter - Use Youtube Videos more than pictures in tweets.

This way it is working great for me!

Both are the best Social media site and both are very effective for all social media users. Some times ago Facebook is more popular then Twitter but Facebook lose his Fan Following and Twitter become more popular. Now Twitter has PR10 and Facebook has PR9. So we cannot say that one is better but both are better.

[DELETED]

For me i will say twitter. Only 140 characters and i am good to go.

Instead of asking "Which is better?" I'd rather see a great breakdown on how to use, say Twitter, to drive website traffic.

For example, back in 2008, I'd get a 30% re-follow and 10% of them would opt-in to one of my sites. Times have changed. Now I see folks using auto favorites and the like.

Anyway, I'd love to see a good up-to-date primer.

I have found twitter good for starting high-level relationships. Like the guy I interviewed and established relationship with that sold his business for $100,000,000. Twitter currently has helped me target a number of relationships like that which are not possible on Facebook.

I say Twitter myself. Apart from the fact that I'm told Zuckerberg is an odious little prat (I've never met him, but trusted friends have), I don't like that you have to go through so many hoops to friend someone, to post things and to do all sorts of other things essential for marketing on faceache. Obviously, the 140 character limit on Twitter is a bit of a drag too, but at least they don't have the Internet equivalent of the Spetsnaz hauling you up every time you do too much friending or liking.

Of course, as with all things online and elsewhere, you have to be careful not to let your activities go beyond the pale - don't break any laws, don't spam, don't generally piss people off - but I like the more "Californian hippy" approach of Twitter. And because I'm not always looking over my shoulder for a snarling Stazi, I can concentrate on my job.

Definitely Facebook is better

[DELETED]

Good question and you'll get a ton of different answers as everyone uses them differently for different purposes - not sure how many permutations that little mix will throw up!!

For me they both have different aspects, etc:~

Facebook

• Highly targeted traffic
• Paid and free options
• Traffic from groups or from pages
• Bigger market audiences
• Cost of paid ads
• Pages can be monetised
• Business friendly

Twitter

• Quick and easy
• Good targeting
• Limited to 140 characters
• Can be automated
• Can have an unlimited number of accounts
• Easy to get banned
• Business unfriendly

Just a few quick thoughts on the matter – there's a hell of a lot more to it than this!

Facebook more affective than twitter , I recommend facebook for marketing campains

[DELETED]

I'm using both
Honestly, it depends on your time but I suggest you should focus on Facebook, there has more real connection and you are easy to connect and chatting people in your niche.

Facebook is better because it has all kinds of age groups that you can target. Twitter can be used to target specific niche.

[DELETED]

I like Facebook a little better because there's more people to cover, which means more to reach/entice. And I guess because I really can't follow conversations sometimes on Twitter when they get too long.

I mainly just do Facebook but I've heard a lot of people say you need todo Twitter. I think Facebook has more interaction. But this is just what I think

I is difficult to say that what is best between facebook and twitter. Both are good certainly. Now a days most of the people use facebook and twitter. So it depend on yourselves. what you can use more comfortable. But recent time most people use facebook.

For me, Facebook is better than Twitter.

I find Twitter boring most of the time. There's only texts and links of images, not the whole image itself. All you do is re-tweet and use hashtags all day. The redesigned layout is even confusing.

In Facebook, you can do a lot. Actually, you can do everything. The layout is perfectly fine for me. It's not that hard to understand everything I see on Facebook. Things look more persuasive in Facebook than in Twitter.

Wherever your buying customers gather most....

And where you can commit to spending the time....

That's where you should proactively market.

You can always use http://ifttt.com to push updates to other social networks automatically.....

i like facebook it's very simple

from diffen.com

"People say that Facebook is for connecting with the people you went to school with and Twitter is for people you wished you had gone to school with. While Facebook is a multi-purpose social networking platform, allowing users to chat, post photos and notes, and play games, Twitter is built around the posting of short 140 character messages, or "tweets." They are the two most popular social networks in the world. This comparison looks at their history, growth in user base, strengths and weaknesses."

Facebook and Twitter are two social media networking platform which can be an avenue to post,make friends, build networks and also earn money online. Maybe you need to see what is your purpose and focus for you to know what social site is better to use.

Give me FB anytime over Twitter. Twitter just works on my nerves, just a personal feeling, I like FB

[DELETED]

Both Facebook and Twitter have their advantages and disadvantages. I will say in my opinion most people seem to be much more active on Facebook these days.

But that does not mean leave Twitter out all together. Done right both platforms can provide you with countless people looking at your content.

That's always a good thing.

Both are the best social networking site for promoting brands and resources, and each must consist of its own pros and cons. while zealots will directly point to their best social networking sites whether it is Twitter or Facebook.Each may have their own value as well as it depends on the situation that what they wants to accomplish. Therefore the selection will depends upon your situation.

Facebook Is best for me

I find Twitter more effective. Let's be honest, FB business pages (the design, versatility) suck. Their paid advertising is ok, but it still lags behind AdWords and Bing Ads in efficiency. When it comes to advertising I will choose Twitter over FB any day.

I think Facebook is better then twitter.Facebook is best for marketing, many people are aware on facebook as compare to twitter.

[DELETED]

really depends on how you target your audience inside of FB or use graph search, or fan page. I actually just started using Twitter a a few weeks and trying to build the following list. Using the @# tags can help target the leads that you want to create the value with.

Facebook graph search can help build a relationship with the potential business partners, fan page is more directed on paid ads to target the audience in bringing the traffic; if you can afford the ads I go for it.

Twitter is based off tweets, and you get quality leads on Twitter, I would talk a little more about Twitter, but as I said easier . I barely started using this method.

I agree with you friend.

Both the Best!
You can not ignore these 2 weapons if you really want to make money fast in IM or any online marketing niche.

The under mentioned area needs to be taken care off in both these sites.

1. FACEBOOK - Join as many groups as possible and make qualitative posts and start making loads of friends and subscribers and make money.

Twitter - Make multiple accounts as this is not allowed in Facebook and follow and tweet and send DM and build up a relationship and grow it to a level that will fetch you money on autopilot.

I repeat that both are mandatory and you must not ignore them .

You can no doubt gain followers on both FB & Twitter. But I think the quality is better on FB because their attention span is better. Unlike, with Twitter where everything is fast-paced 140 characters and people are reading different content at a mile a minute!

Facebook if I have to choose but actually I prefer other social media such as Pinterest, Stumbleupon, Tumblr and so on.

But that's just me.

I think you get the from Facebook, the people you get seem to be much more targeted for you particular niche.

Facebook is a good long term plan for business marketing, but Twitter can generate instant results as it's very live and busy with millions of visitors all tweeting and retweeting/interacting with each other's content. You just need to find the right people to interact with and they will lead you to others who will want to talk to you. These people will turn into your blog readers or product buyers.

LOL seen tons of replies and its bad.

Everyone with a good handle on social accounts target BOTH Facebook and twitter at the same time with the same effort not just Target FB and not twitter.

If you want to be great in your niche then I suggestion you do this, both give the same effort for FB and twitter

In my opinion facebook is best for traffic as compared to twitter. Because people from all around the world, of all ages, from childs to old people, from professionals to newbes are using facebook. Therefor facebook is best choice.

I like Facebook more than twitter, actually it depends upon your friends and followers and also for which purpose you are using social networking sites. I have more friends on Facebook and I also love to play online games. If you are asking for advertisement and promotion purpose, then I will suggest you to use Facebook.

[DELETED]

I would always prefer Facebook, it's more popular and drives more traffic than Twitter.

Whichever one gets you the most leads but to answer your question Facebook for me.

Facebook is the best now a days for driven the traffic.

[DELETED]

The development of your Twitter following will happen much more quickly and the more followers you have the faster it grows. I have grown something like 7000 more Twitter followers since April this year, so I must be getting search engine traffic there too.

Twitter is not as responsive as Facebook though. If you want more of a response from your following, you should build your Facebook fan page. If you can build the right following on Facebook using the tips, tricks and techniques that you will find in the ebook on my signature link, you will be able to grow a big, responsive and engaged following who will like and act on your posts.

Hope this helps

Both of them has it's own benefit. Most of people don't know how to gain targeted traffic from twitter and say there is no chance to gain targeted visitors in IM/MMO niche. You must know the rules and techniques. There are lots of Free/Paid tools to manager your followers.
Also facebook is really awesome place to generate sales and leads. Again you must know the rules and techniques. People build their fanpages and get thousands of fan in two week.

Good Luck

Hello,

I'm interested in buying facebook traffic, can you give me some suggestions? I'd rather buy from Page Owners directly, not through third-party partners.
Please advice me

Regards,
Tommy

Facebook is better one. Its more popular and more used then twitter

Both are pretty good, as well as some others.

Go for Twitter. I've tried Facebook in the past and bought ads but it has never helped. I don't know why, I just never get traffic from it.

Facebook is good. Make sure to use the RSS Graffiti App to send over to Twitter. Facebook is the best Social Media Resource online PERIOD. Twitter has some advantages but not nearly the advantages that Facebook has.

Check out this stat that might open your eyes to the possibilities...

Good Luck

My personal fav is Facebook because you have a lot more space for a lot more wording!

[DELETED]

facbook is the best for you but for me, I will choose Twitter because Twitter brings me more customers and traffic than Facebook.

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

facebook has more traffic

My favorite is facebook. I can know more information through facebook.I would not spend much time on twitter.

I prefer Twitter nowadays. Using it alongside Instagram for photos. I find it is easier to wade thru the crap on those sites, whereas Facebook I find my stream gets bogged down in too much crap including ads now.

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

Facebook,twitter both are always good platform if you brand you website then do properly

In facebook you get the targeted traffic that is not in twitter.

When it comes to Facebook vs Twitter I can't really say that one in particular is better than the other.

I've seen people have success with both of those.

It's just like anything it's just anything.

It's all a matter of how you use them.

i personally Most like to spend time with facebook
its better then twitter

Facebook has more users + gives you the ability to create pages and be apart of groups. Facebook traffic surpasses Twitter. I currently setup social media profiles for businesses in my local area, we always have the best results with Facebook over Twitter.

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

With facebook you can quickly join a number of different groups and start marketing immediately. With twitter, you would have to invest time to get followers

Both are good. But facebook has lots of users. I mainly use Facebook and LinkedIn.

facebook it's better ,more people more oportunity

i can tell you i dont prefer either of them...all these social sites are very much already grown too far and forgetting the bottom line why were founded...now just using for tracking people....facebook especially, and then ppl also get addicted.
but if i would have to choose, thenn twitter...i even canceled my fb account

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

Facebook for me. The ads system when used properly can yield some fantastic results!

facebook seems a good platform for traffic generation and seo, i created a facebook page and post 3 times a week and it is my no. referrer of traffic.

They both have their own individual advantages, if you are looking it business point of view. One side Facebook is basically for Connecting on another hand Twitter is for ideas and information as well as engaging your targeted audiences for giving information about your resources or products.
Here, let see the individual features about both networks for scale and user volume Facebook is the winner, where as for real time information Twitter is important as well as Winner.

Everything. Your possible clients might be everywhere so be everywhere.

it also depends on the niche though. choose your niche , think as a client and then decide where you ll invest your $.

but please be everywhere

Facebook (Period)

I like both Facebook and twitter. Both have their own advantages. Both are the best platforms for getting visitors for website.

Both are good but Facebook looking best because it is easy to use & had some good facility.

With over 1.3 billion users Facebook is the
largest social media network that you can't
ignore.
Facebook is more user friendly compared to Twitter Nowadays
Atleast almost all facebook users login more than twice everyday on average
Facebook contests are effective in driving traffic to your fan page.

Generally Facebook is better than Twitter

It mostly depends on what you want. if youre looking for leads and traffic than twitter. if youre looking for conversions from leads to sales, then facebook.

I have not figured out how to best tap into Twitter but the speed of Twitter is INSANE. Coming up with a method or approach to get something to go viral on Twitter would be time well spent. 1 hit from 15 times at bat with Twitter could pay big dividends.

All that said, I agree the slower and steady work on FB that can have some level of exponential growth is probably the safer return on time investment.

Great thread!

You can gain lot on followers on twitter in very short time and easily but for me Facebook is always more useful than twitter.

I think the Facebook is the best Social Networking site comparing then Twitter. Facebook are the very easily to promote your business product. Facebook have no limit for character but twitter have character limit on there post.

Each one have his advantage and disadvantage, and you can't compare between them.

recently i noticed Twitter...seem .....
maybe too many spammy ..etc bot kinds tweets..etc

my followers also dropped constantly....

[DELETED]

Social media is really gaining interest and many users are using social media pages to check updates about company or products or websites.

Facebook has the most visitors per day on it. It also has large number of member which has signed up.

Facebook is more user friendly to share valuable content amongst user. Facebook has most number of registered member as well as online member. So it has high traffic per day and this is major advantage of that it is better then Twitter.

Twitter has less traffic as compared to Facebook. Some people get confused with using twitter's Hash tag. This can be another issue.

Twitter has really improved and many people are now finding it easy to use Twitter due its mobile app.

Hmm, for direct sales advertisement and longer lasting advertisement I'd use twitter!

Why?

Well if I post on Facebook on my fan page at 8am, by 8pm my content isn't relevant or can't be easily searched the way it can be on Twitter..

On twitter if I'm looking to buy a dress on sale, all I need to do is type "dress sale" and a bunch of people having dress sales will show up.. Unlike facebook...

I tend to use Facebook for my already existing customers, and twitter to build new customers

[DELETED]

When it comes to the number of users,Facebook is on the lead. Facebook drives like 20x as much as traffic as Twitter. You can share your content to groups related on you niche. But try working on all social media platforms. You really can't tell where your traffic will be coming from. Traffic from all these platforms are much better don't you think?

[DELETED]

Facebook all day every day.

I wouldnt even spend much of any of your time on Twitter IMHO

[DELETED]

They are both awesome, but if your in a business, Facebook is much better in becoming you famous in a short period of time.

[DELETED]

Both are two most popular social networks in the world...

[DELETED]

Optimizing both content production becomes key asset. Challenge for social media manager is to keep visitors onsite, versus make them leave by going to Facebook or Twitter page.
