Because it shows how important Facebook and Twitter are becoming to presenting your business/services on the internet I meant to get this published a few days ago. Sorry for the delay.
Even if you have already noted the article from TechCrunch sharing how Facebook continues to grow and is on the verge of eclipsing the mainstay destinations like Yahoo.com or MSN.com and even Google.com; it is still valuable to remember the value of Facebook’s unique successful cachet somehow merging social and business. Facebook is a powerful foundation for any social media marketing effort. another reason why we link our website designs into both Twitter and Facebook. It is important in your website’s internet marketing to keep your presence active through a managable “clockwork” integration approach, using your website to drive Facebook and Twitter activity.
From TechCrunch, please read the entire article –
Web analytics firm Compete has released its data for the month of May, and as Justin Smith over at InsideFacebook has already pointed out, US traffic to Facebook.com has increased by nearly 8% to 82.9 million unique visitors last month, with Facebook Connect sites generating an additional 65 million uniques. That means that, according to Compete, a total of 113 million people in the U.S. interacted with the Facebook service. The data also shows MySpace is (still) steadily decreasing compared to the beginning of the year, while Twitter growth seems to have flattened all of the sudden. …
For comparison, Compete pegs Google to have received a total of 145.5 million unique visitors in May, ahead of Yahoo (135.5 million) and MSN.com (97.5 million), which means Facebook has already overtaken the MSN website and is nearing the former two. It’s important to note that all four sites show a significant increase in U.S. traffic since the beginning of this year, but Facebook is definitely on the steepest growth curve here. In January 2009, total traffic to Facebook was somewhere around 68.5 million uniques, which means the May number of 113 million represents a 61% jump, mostly thanks to the successful spread of the Facebook Connect service.
