5 Reasons Google+ Is Not A Facebook Killer

reitz — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 23:13:26 +0000

I agree with this article… Google Plus could more easily target Linked In than Facebook… Facebook really has to STUMBLE in some major epic fail sort of way… but I am really not seeing that happen, are you?

The single biggest problem that Google may be up against right now is that they’re fighting a battle from behind. While I anticipate very solid growth early on, once users realize that many of their friends haven’t moved over, rather than have to access yet another social media resource to communicate, they’ll slowly move back to just the one. The one where all their friends and contacts already are, where they can communicate in one location: Facebook.

What SEO means in 2011…

reitz — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:39:38 +0000

So what DOES SEO stand for anyway? 5 years ago I’d EASILY tell you it stands for Search Engine Optimization… but not any more… SEO NOW stands for internet marketing strategist as there is just WAY MORE going on now than 5 years ago. Google Search is constantly adding (and subtracting) new stuff, Facebook is now uber-important, and Google Plus is on the way. The below linked is a great article attesting to my feelings on this very topic.

Apple vs. Facebook

reitz — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 20:12:09 +0000

Ok so I am not really keeping score BUT it seems to me the score is:

Apple 15 BILLION (apps downloaded)

Facebook 750 Million (users)

Let’s see if I remember this… carry the one, subtract out the value of Pi, hmmm divide by the circumference… ah yes then Multiply by 1 / e

YUP seems to clear to me… Apple wins by a factor of 20. Good luck Facebook.

SHOCKER: 3% To 7.5% Of Fans See Your Page’s Posts

reitz — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 17:40:12 +0000

Ok most fan pages suck… Don’t just believe me, see the below graphic… takes a lot of work to make them work… well maybe that isn’t quite right… it takes CONSISTENCY to make it work PERIOD. BUT is it REALLY worth it with such a low Return on Investment? Sure, but you have to take the LONG view and that is by doing this and amassing thousands of fans over the next few years that it will then make a big difference…. just make sure you are doing OTHER SEO work and not just Facebook…

Social Networking Sites Reach More Women

reitz — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 01:41:33 +0000

Ummm DUH. I probably have a 4 to 1 ratio of girls to guys as friends in Facebook. This trend is obvious and has been trending this way for some time.

Globally, women demonstrate higher levels of engagement with social networking sites than men. Although women account for 47.9 percent of total unique visitors to the social networking category, they consume 57 percent of pages and account for nearly 57 percent of total minutes spent on these sites. Women spend significantly more time on social networking sites than men, with women averaging 5.5 hours per month compared to men’s 4 hours, demonstrating the strong engagement that women across the globe share with social sites.
