Why Google Should Be Afraid Of Twitter And Facebook

By Abraham Joseph


With the advent of Facebook, twitter, and other social media sites, Google has slowly seen its power to command traffic and advertising begin to wane. It is no longer able to compete with social media sites, even with Google Plus. The reason is that these social media sites were the first on the scene, and also provide a variety of qualities that cannot be found on Google. Let's look at the benefit of using Facebook, Twitter and other social media networks over Google to show you why they're losing hold in the online world.



Both Facebook and Twitter make it easy to follow the latest news. Twitter displays current trends in a sidebar, and Facebook also displays subjects that are currently trending. If a big piece of news hits, users will see it without ever looking for it.

When users get their news through social media sites, they don't need to head over to Google to do a search. Instead, they can simply click the many links that others are already sharing. They may trust links from their friends more than they trust Google's search results.

Social media sites also allow people to get personalized search results. If someone wants to know more about a movie, or would like to get a book recommendation, they're far more likely to use social media than Google. They can ask their friends answers to the questions and get answers tailored directly to them. Google can't provide that.

Instead of taking all of your advertising dollars, and putting it into traditional advertising, by using Facebook advertising, and setting up your very own Facebook page, you can start to build subscribers very easily, and also make more money than you did before as people begin to share what you have to offer on Facebook. This is a great way to on an excellent place to start marketing, all the while earning free clicks from individuals that found you from Facebook shares.
