sometimes I confuse which one easily will get more traffic?

actually I compare

FB is you must always post in groups.....in order to get some traffic

google + surprising you don't need so aggressive post ...yet got traffic...

provided you have many followers...

But irony I see most people see FB than google +

while I monitor what people look at from their smartphone , tablets, even in office ..
I never see people see google + instead all viewers I see ...surf Facebook.

here is why I confuse.....I noticed google + sometimes can easily get more traffic than FB....without doing much effort than FB which I noticed need more effort to get traffic and likes..

  • Depends on how hard you work on either of the two. In my experience facebook has always provided more traffic.

  • i think fb page can help you more than Google+. mainly because, fb is really famous compare to google+ and fb users also very huge. i am also a regulator visitor of fb but i am not interested to check my Google+ account.
  • In my opinion Facebook would be more effective to get traffic then Google plus. You were talking about Business page.
    Setting up and maintaining a profile for anything other than an individual person is a violation of Facebook’s Statement of Rights & Responsibilities. If you don’t convert your profile to a page you will run the risk of permanently losing access to the profile and all of the associated content.
    Here is the procedure of how to change your personal account to business page:

  • It's depend on your web projects. Both are best for promoting you website.
  • in my experience if you are looking for traffic go with facebook however for serp ranking G+ has an edge over FB. did you try FB ads?
  • Now these day Facebook is best for their traffic. But in G+ the post which we are submitting to our profile is visible on search engine results by keywords which we are using. Google includes their all the quality post in searches. so the G+ is best for SEO and for Gaining traffic to websites. Facebook is also best for traffic.

    • In my experience Facebook is better for direct traffic from your page.

      However, Google+ communities are far better than Facebook groups. The discussion is much higher level, the presentation is better and I feel the quality of traffic that arrives is better.

      Of course this depends what niche you are working in. Most of my experience has been in online/professional avenues. It may be that decorating or recipe niches, for example, may fair better on Facebook.

  • Google plus is better for direct traffic from your website. Because I am already running on Google plus profile I get real serious traffic on my site.
  • Facebook is the better option for driving traffic in your site.
  • According to my experience both are best for marketing your website.
  • Targeting traffic for your website is totally depend upon website type. if site has not contained attractive business pages and photos then site cannot get enough traffic.

    In my view, Google+ is better to drive traffic. I am using Google+ for my website. I got real traffic from Google plus.
  • Facebook Vs Google+
    I think Facebook wins all the ways because it is way more popular then Google+ & has more users compared to Google+. If u desire to attract healthy traffic for your site then i will definitely say facebook is your thing .
  • dude facebook will always be on top... you can,t compare it with Google+

    • so you all post in groups related to your nichie?
  • if you have both gmail account and g+ account, then your G+ account get more attention from google than facebook, that might be one of the reason for more traffic.
  • Ya definitely facebook helps a lot n lot to get traffic
  • With some little bit effort you can get awesome traffic through Google +
  • They both are okay,it depends on you how you use them...FB can be more vivid,google+ is favored by google.
  • Facebook is more popular now so everyone on the planet is using it. However, on Google+, it's really easy to get people to add you to their circles if you seem to be into the things they like. That's not usually true of Facebook where people don't usually add 'randoms' and it's more about 'adding people you know or actual friends'. On Google+ it seems to be acceptable to add strangers and you don't get reported/penalized for this behavior. Sometimes, those people will add you back and they start to see what you are publishing then.
  • facebook is way better but i think that google plus is okey too
  • Hello, Both are the best platform for marketing your product/services/website. But FB is more popular than Google+.
  • First, yes, more FB user than Google plus, but it depends on the Audience. Different Audeince, different SNS, different style of posting content. It really depends on you.

    But to wrap up, take a look at the following facts
    (according to Word Steam and Memebership site owner):
    1. Both Google and Facebook have a massive potential audience, and they both are primarily PPC advertising channels.
    2. Facebook sessions usually tend to last much longer than a normal
    Google search session, which would make Facebook preferred for building
    brand awareness or sending a specific message
    3. Facebook also allows advertisers some unique targeting options such
    as creating a message specifically crafted for fans of Arrested
    Development, or for college alumni groups.
    4. Google+ grows in Value. Google+ allows Google to also collect more
    personal user data, and with users staying logged in to their Google
    account as they check email, use Google+, and surf the web, it can be
    expected that Google's user data will soon surmount Facebook in terms of
    value.
    5. With Google, people are using Google to find answers to their
    questions. They are much more in the "find a solution to my problem or
    question" frame of mind.
    6. Facebook (FB) users provide FB with robust demographic data. Age, sex, marital status, likes, dislikes etc.
    So the choice is yours for you know your business more
    Hope this help.

    Both are same to me. It will depend on your friends and followers. If you have a decent amount of friendsin facebook then facebook can bring more traffic. On the other hand if you have decent amount google plus followers then google plus can bring more traffic.
  • Both are best source to drive traffic which you need to engage on them try to share the interesting stuff and follow the people sure you can see the result
  • FB help more,find fb groups and post evert day there,that help for more traffic

    Have a good day!
  • I really like google+, but if I had to choose one, it would be facebook... It's the king of social networks.
  • If I were you, I would use both to drive traffic to my website.
    Since, you have seen positive results with both Facebook and Google+ why not get best of both worlds and use both platforms to drive traffic.

    Although google is a big & most popular website in the world. But in the social media site Facebook is above on Google+.

    Facebook use a person as social media but google+ is new on this social site.

  • If you want more traffic in FB page. you can promote your page and also invite your friend for like. After promotion you can update daily and also regularly something new, so that get more people come in the fb page. FB page should create also attractive and informative.

    Both are good. In my view, You can get website traffic easily from Google+.
  • Both platform are good but you can acquire more traffic from Facebook by joing groups, fan page, participate in events, paid ads and etc.

    Google+ doesn't allow for paid ads, just can join communities, generate page and shared posts.
  • both are good but fb is best
  • Google+ is giving more traffic than facebook now a days.
  • I am using Facebook most as compare to Google+.It works great for me.
  • both. facebook works wonders for page promo posts. google plus works great for passive traffic (google can promote you for free if you are "famous")

    both can work though
  • Google+ Is Best .... It Will Boost Your SERP Too
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • I always used to pick facebook over any other media site anyday, but Using Facebook for business is now becoming Expensive. They basically charge you fr everything. you pay for adds, you pay for boosting your post. Even if your likes are organic your add is going to be displayed to only a few people. you'll have to pay again for promoting your post.

    I think in light of the above argument Google+ is way better!

    • You have a very good point here. Facebook charges page owners for exposure while Google+ still provides this for free, so long as someone puts you in their circles or follows your page. The other thing I like about Google+ is how you can actually have real conversations with others who are interested in at Google+ and it's not just a bunch of marketers spamming each other as you often find on Facebook groups.
  • hello please people...I want to get massive traffic to my website but I don't know how to use Google+ to do that please I need someone to teach me...and I want to also ask is it free to use Google+ to drive quality traffic ...but if not free please how much is the per click charges...my mail is

    • yes, Its free to use Google+. Why don't you try searching some tutorials. you can always hire someone, but why spend money on something that you can easily learn yourself.

      I agree. I think with the road Facebook has not taken, it will be just a few years maybe months that people start shifting from it to other networks.
      For now Google+ is the best bet if you want some useful information, and some organic traffic.
  • Google plus any day of the week. It's a lot easier to get followers and because google owns it will rank better then facebook IMO
  • That account which has many active followers is better for getting traffic.
  • Both are best in their own way. But google plus is the product of google so i think we should use google plus.
  • Maybe the real issue you should focus on here is which traffic converts to sales better, Facebook or Google+. If you are getting lots of 'organic traffic' from Google+ but no one is buying aynything, then what good is it? Same thing for Facebook groups. Traffic is only good if it's actually doing something for you.
  • I personally like Facebook personally but Google Plus has always provided me much profit and is also for Search Engine and Ranking specially in Google search results.
  • Facebook would give more traffic due to it's sheer reach. A lot more people are on Facebook and they spent a lot of time on Facebook. On other hand G+ will give additional benefit of improved SERP on top the traffic.

    Google also has the advantage when it comes to web searches, which the search engine giant is known for. Google AdWords is the ideal venue for business looking to drive clicks and conversions for specific products; Google searchers often have a specific intent in mind, while users often go to Facebook simply to hang out and chat with friends.Facebook vs. Google Advertising

    Facebook gives businesses a way to connect with users on a social, personal level in and intimate and friendly space, whereas Google is what people use when they are looking for something specific, and often looking to make a purchase.

    Facebook's click-through-rates can be as much as 1,000 times lower than Google campaigns with the same intent.
  • Facebook, Pinterest and Google Plus are your safest bets when it comes to increasing traffic to your website. These platforms are worth your time. It depends on your ideal customers. Like you get a lot of traffic in Google Plus probably because there are more people interested to check on your business. While on Facebook, you need to boost it with ads if you want to get the result that you want.
  • Google + in my experience would be better than Facebook in todays market !
