What is better for driving traffic to your blog, facebook or twitter?

It took me around two months to start getting decent traffic from Facebook. Though I did some paid advertising but it paid off. You need to be active. Spend 1 hour a day with full dedication on Facebook. You will see results pretty soon.

i think the more i am researching the more i find out that Facebook is much better because of its accurate audience targeting capabilities but i will look into twitter as well.

do you know? in twitter there are more user interact then facebook

Do you have a source to back up that statistic? And how does that relate to the OP’s question of which drives more traffic? Are you guessing it will be Twitter because of the greater interaction, or do you have some proof?

You can easily drive real traffic using social exchange websites like Addmefast and youlikehits :slight_smile: I just started them and its working like a charm :slight_smile: Also ranking my page a lot

The best Traffic source is facbook

Welcome to the forums, @Wilberiris.

That’s not really a helpful reply. Please take the time to give a little more information. If your comment is based on personal experience, then please give some details. What is your niche? How do you use Facebook? Why do you think Twitter doesn’t work as well for you?

Try to include some details which give context and make your post of more help to others.

You can drive traffic to your blog from the both platforms. Before that you need to analyse the best time to promote your content.

Generate content frequently and promote it.

I suggest posting updates in Facebook groups and schedule your tweets couple of times in a day will definitely drive traffic.

They isnt a simple answer to that or they’d all be using just one social platform. I’d recommend using both and posting regularly with your chosen topics matching your category

The key here is whatever best benefits your intentions, and it also depends on your audience. It is tough to answer with a definitive solution to this question. I own several websites, mainly design blogs. The funny thing is, one site may crush it on twitter, while another may crush it on Facebook. I’ve had some do poorly on both and kill it on Google+. It depends on several factors, like how you built your audience, if you have Facebook integrated comments on your site, how and where you promote your site, and even more factors than that.

Can I ask what platform is your blog built in?

If its a WordPress blog or Weebly, I know for a fact that when you create a new blog post you can automatically send it to Twitter which will auto tweet a link to it.

Then you can start chaining.

Inside Twitter there is a way to automatically send your tweets to your Facebook wall.

It takes some set up but it means as soon as you have posted that blog post it will automagicly appear on Twitter n Facebook.

If you want to take it further there is a useful application online where you create links to other social media. I am sorry I can’t quite remember the name of it. From what I remember you create a chain and say if there is a new post in Facebook post to Instagram, if Instagram post then post to this site and so on.

It depends on how one uses the facebook and twitter for traffic. Involving in group discussions and contributing to the groups in facebook can bring more targeted traffic to the site.

We all know that both website can help in building traffic to your website, so i might suggest that you use both. Facebook and twitter have a massive amount of users, is just that its pretty hard o do promotion in twitter. You need to ensure that you will have a good number of followers, also your post is limited to 140characters so you need to ensure that you tweet must be relevant enough. Same goes to facebook is just that you don’t have the limit in terms of words but indeed competition is tight on the said social medium. In order to stand out you need to make sure that yo post quality and engaging content.

For your niche, its better to test on both facebook and twitter. Check proper timings for postings, create a proper schedule, track properly which of your post or tweet attract more audience and then decide which one is better for you.

The OP hasn’t mentioned what their niche is!

And supposing I’m a beginner in these things? How do I know the “proper” timings, or what a “proper” schedule is, or how to “track properly”? Please give a little more information about how to carry out these tasks.

Then i guess its better to use any social media tool like hootsuite or buffer.

How does that tell anyone what a “proper” schedule is?

Test and measure conversion rates from both marketing channels. We’ve had lasting success with Twitter because we’re B2B and most of our audience are there + industry influencers… Facebook is great for boosting our recruitment marketing.

I would go with facebook because of the messenger integrations which work nicecely in e-commerce world. For blog why not both :smile:
