Social Media Marketing Strategy: Facebook or Twitter?

Image via CrunchBase

Most social media marketing strategies these days usually involve either the use of Facebook or Twitter, however it is currently unclear as to which site is more effective, a recent article looks into the benefits and drawbacks associated with both sites, we will highlight some of the main points raised in this post.

Just before posting the results of the recent investigation we will talk about how the information was found, Jazzou’s article used user feedback, trend monitoring, dummy Facebook accounts, dummy Twitter accounts and 3rd party platforms to get a fair analysis of both social media marketing solutions.

In terms of traffic and user metrics Facebook came out on top, this is mainly due to the sheer traffic which Facebook received (which is now more visited in the U.S. than Google).

In terms of viral marketing benefits Twitter was said to have the advantage, one partial aid to this is Google’s ‘Real Time’ search feature as it features keyword phrase search which can display tweets.

It was no real surprise to hear that Facebook came out on top in terms of ‘effective website traffic’, ‘Social Media interactivity’, ‘direct Internet communication’ and ‘Business to Consumer Marketing’, however Twitter was deemed to be better for market research and business to business marketing.

To conclude both Facebook and Twitter have their advantages for different circumstances and different businesses, if you want to have a closer relationship with your customers Facebook seems to have the edge, however for large corporate business it seems as if Twitter possibly has the edge, for fully detailed information check out the link at the end of this post.

JumpStart - Increase YouTube Views

JumpStart is a revolutionary program that sends real untargeted traffic to your videos to increase its views and improve your videos rankings. Any expert marketer knows, a video on YouTube is worthless without views, as it will rank lower and end up being on the last page of search results. Unlike previous software to increase views, JumpStart does NOT require you to leave your computer on while it sends traffic to your videos! It is not a “bot” and does not violate YouTube’s Terms of Service. The technology used is like none other on the market.

When you upload a video onto YouTube, you might notice that your view count is increasing incredibly slow. Sometimes even less than 10 hits per day... This is because your video is showing up on the last page of search results. Think about the last time you browsed all the way to the last page of search results to find what you were looking for... probably never.

If you have more views, your video will not only show up on earlier search pages, but will be recommended to others via YouTube's related videos function. Your video may even be featured on YouTube's Global Homepage! (if its worthy enough).
