The Digg & Twitter locations in the chart surprise me. I’d expect those two to be flipped based on what I’ve seen.

Too bad I really never got into Facebook. I just could never understand the whole concept of it and Twitter. Who knows maybe I am missing something; but I just could not stand the fact of using those sites.

Wow! Facebook is great, getting the most visitor loyalty is not that surprising. Twitter has lots of media coverage, very surprising they are the lowest on the stats.

These reports are never black and white. If I google and find a facebook group or digg post, that lead to your page, does this count as Google, Facebook or digg?

If the user mentioned above returns every week and follow your progress via Twitter or RSS feeds the rest of the days but never follow a link from Twitter, in what bar is this loyalty counted for?

it all depends on the whole picture and it is never about choosing one or the other.

Go for both search AND Social media AND the next big thing…….

This is why I am a big fan of Facebook advertising.. You can really target groups of interested people, rather than just put it all out there with the other public advertising networks. I’ve seen great examples of how much better CTR’s and conversions are for social ads rather than just plain web/search advertising.

Hi,

For me Facebook is the best way to promote my services, items ( interior design), I have facebook group and page and i can say in 2 month i double the visits and the sells.
Twitter is good only to send bombastic message, eg, huge promotion only today …
Google is no longer an option, we receive alot of visits but the sells are down.

Facebook vs Twitter Loyalty doesn’t surprise me, because Twitter is a no-holds-barred, anyone can follow by opting in social site.

Facebook, on the other hand, requires acceptance in the form of friend requests, and the page is curated to feel more like a scrapbook/family experience than the fast and furious Twitter ‘PR’ style.

Something I would like to add to the discussion is how Social Media Drives search. Search and social coexist, and the more loyal followers you get speaking about you/your brand/business on the socials, the more likely you are to make a substantive impact on your search campaigns too.

Good news for the Social Media Commandos like me!
