Facebook “Likes” More Profitable Than Tweets [STUDY]

If event registration site Eventbrite’s experience is any indication, social media marketers looking for monetary returns on their efforts might get more value from Facebook than Twitter.
The company announced Wednesday that an average tweet about an event drove 80 cents in ticket sales during the past six months, whereas an average Facebook Like drove $1.34.
The study, which used in-house social analytics tools to track ticket sales on the site, was a continuation of a similar analysis the company released in October after analyzing data from a 12-week period. That study also indicated Facebook drove more sales for Eventbrite than Twitter, although the difference between the two networks’ sales per post was greater at that point than throughout the entire six-month period (the “value” of tweets increased).
In addition to each individual Facebook Like driving more sales than an individual tweet, the study also revealed cumulative activity on Facebook was greater than activity on Twitter for Eventbrite. People shared Eventbrite events on Facebook almost four times as often as they did on Twitter. The company attributes this disparity to Facebook’s wider reach and greater emphasis on real-world ties.
It’s important to note that only a very small percentage of site visitors shared event pages on either network. Just 1% of people who landed on an event page shared it with their friends; 10% of people who had purchased a ticket did the same.
Obviously people are more likely to share events if they are attending. Their friends, according to Eventbrite’s data, are also more likely to buy tickets to an event shared on Facebook by a ticket holder than one shared by an uncommitted friend. But whether these trends, or any of Eventbrite’s findings, are relevant to other types of purchases is still a matter of speculation. But Eventbrite is betting they are.
“We carefully track sharing behavior in an effort to help event organizers tap into a new world of distribution for their event promotion,” wrote Tamara Mendelsohn, Eventbrite’s director of marketing and former senior analyst at Forrester Research, in a blog post about the study. “But the findings apply broadly to all e-commerce businesses, because the foundations of e-commerce are shifting as the social graph becomes a meaningful influence in driving transactions.”

Twitter launches Promoted Trends with Toy Story 3

Image via CrunchBase

Twitter has launched its first promoted trending topic, as bosses of the microblogging site explore further options to turn the social network's success into a profitable revenue source.
The first topic to receive the Promoted Trend treatment is Disney-Pixar's new animated film Toy Story 3, released in cinemas this weekend. By clicking the yellow promoted link, users of the site will be taken to the latest tweets about the film, headed by a Promoted Tweet published by the advertiser at the top of the results.
According to Computerworld, Promoted Trends are highlighted on user pages as a supplementary addition below the top 10 current trends. Twitter has confirmed that topics can only become promoted if they are already being actively discussed in the Twitter community.
Twitter explained: "Promoted Trends are a new advertising concept we began testing this week; they are an extension of our Promoted Tweets platform.
"With Promoted Trends, users will see time-, context- and event-sensitive trends promoted by our advertising partners. These Promoted Trends initially appear at the bottom of the Trending Topics list on Twitter and are clearly marked 'Promoted.' As conversations about the topic increase, Promoted Trends may move up the list."
The first Promoted Trends were launched on Thursday, and Twitter will base the future of the advertising model on its success. Analysts are praising Twitter for developing a business model that will not impact on the all-important user experience, by making Promoted Trends minimally invasive.
"People will tolerate advertising as long as it lets them do what they want to do," explained Ezra Gottheil, analyst at Technology Business Research.
"As with Google, users know someone has to pay. Users prefer it to be painless. Advertising that doesn't get in the way is generally welcomed."

LOOK! The US government is recording every single Tweet on Twitter

Image via Wikipedia

Congratulations friends and followers on Twitter!
Every single one of your public tweets on Twitter going back
4 years is being digitally recorded by the Library of Congress.
That means all of us tweeting on Twitter will be going down in history.
So a big question is…
Why is the US government taking interest in the Twitter universe?
Watch this Video by FoxNews to learn why

or to click viewing:

TIP: Be on good behavior and maybe think twice before sending that Tweet. Twitter (like Facebook) is a real life social environment being recorded in many ways. So ask yourself… do I want the entire world to forever see what I tweeted?

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.

Social Media Optimisation For Seo – A 21St Century Marketing Strategy

Image via Wikipedia

Facebook, Twitter, Digg and Buzz are just four of the main players at the forefront of the Social Media revolution and are gaining in popularity in each day not just for tech savvy individuals but for businesses as well. The popularity of Social Media sites for individuals is obvious, it enables them to share news, views and on a base level communicate without e-mailing or texting. For business the benefits aren’t quite as obvious but free advertising is probably the thing that encourages them to sign up in the first instance.
When a business sets up an account on a Social Media site they are in effect putting themselves, products and services in the shop window for all to see and although the vast majority of people would probably just glance at their profile and move on there are a small minority that will be interested and take note. The respect in which some these Social Media sites are held in by Google and co is also a contributory factor in a company setting up a profile and this is where a number of Search Engine Optimisation companies have seen a real opportunity to broaden the portfolio of services they offer.
Search Engine Optimisation or SEO is an ever evolving industry and experts in the field were quick to recognise the enhanced search rankings and overall web presence that effective Social Media optimisation could bring to a website. SMO in conjunction with a comprehensive SEO campaign can help website owners increase their inbound traffic significantly. Typically, the content on Social Media sites is constantly updated and if there is one thing that search engines like its fresh content and as a result will cache the site and the inbound link contained within more regularly which ultimately heightens the authority in which the site is regarded by Google and the like.
Many people dismiss the Social Media sites as a waste of time and trivial but this far from the truth especially in regard to enhancing a company’s online profile. Setting up and maintaining the Social Media pages for a company on a plethora of sites is generally very time consuming so it may be prudent to engage the services of an SEO company that specialise in SMO as an additional service.

How to use tweetscript

Image by Getty Images via Daylife

Tweetscript is a simple yet powerful way to build smart tweets. A smart tweet is dynamic. It allows you to construct simple or complex rules to create database-driven tweets.
Whenever one of these dynamic tweet is tweeted, it will use the rules you specify with tweetscript to build your message: this will result in new, unique tweets each and every time you reuse the same message.
Every tweetscript command should be enclosed in [brackets].
When we detect that one of your tweets uses tweetscript, we include a little "test" icon that lets you experiment and see an example of the resulting tweet without actually tweeting it!
This feature helps you build re-usable tweets that let you customize and personalize common tweeting tasks. We will be adding more rules-based syntax soon. Please note, we are firmly against Twitter spam, and we ask that you read and conform to our Rules of the Road, as well as Twitter's Terms of Service.
Do not use our system to send duplicate tweets (or tweets that closely resemble one another). As we adhere to Twitter's Terms of Service, we require that all tweets sent through our system are substantively different. This means: do not use Tweet Spinner to send duplicate tweets. Fortunately, tweetscript offers you the ability to customize and personalize rules-based tweets. However, do not use our language to "sneak past" the duplicate tweets limitation by changing one or two words for each tweet. Please ensure that your tweets are timely, topical, spam-free, substantively different from one another, and enhance the Twitter experience for readers (rather than contributing to tweet "pollution").

Quick start

What follows is a very simple example of how to use tweetscript to make a tweet dynamic. Please scroll to the bottom to see a complete list of all current syntax that you can use.

Tweepi - the first and only Twitter Follow Management with stats..

Image by Thomas Hawk via Flickr

We're starting with some tools to allow you to clean up your Twitter account from spammers and deadbeat users, as well as make sure you follow tweeps who deserve to be followed. Please refer to the menu on the right to learn more about each of the utilities.

We created Tweepi out of our own need for some of these scripts. We're constantly looking to follow quality tweeples, and trying to unfollow deadbeat users. We simply want to do more on Twitter in less time!

Tweepi is in, as I like to call it "very much a beta" mode. You might find small bugs around the system, and we'd appreciate it if you'd report them to us using the 'Feedback' button to the left.

Update (28 January, 2010): According to a letter we received from Twitter's API Support team, the "Select All" feature of Tweepi was removed. This feature violated Twitter's Terms of Service section of "Automated Following and Un-Following". We hope this does not affect your overall experience with Tweepi's geeky tools. Thank you...
