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

    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:

    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.

    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.

    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..
    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.

    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 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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
