Google+ page vs Faceook fan page

[dafthost]

Hello,
In the current era, facebook is more Popular then Google Plus and also Facebook have more user then Google Plus. So i personally recommend you Facebook for driving more traffic to your site. but if you ask to get high rank in Google then you have to move on Google+ page.

I have to admit that Facebook is more popular than Google+, some pople think about the second one that it's dead. But for my niche they works similarly.

Why ask which one is better? It`s not like you are obliged to choose just one social media platform.
I have said it on another thread, and I will say it here: If you want the best results you will have to create accounts on ALL the social media platforms.

All of you know that facebook is the world largest social media site and plays an important role in traffic generation. So I like facebook than google+ or other social sites.

You should have both. Google+ page is great for organic ranking - especially if you're doing local SEO, while with Facebook page you are targeting audience on Facebook... Both are a must have!

I have a page on Google+ with 20k of users, when I post a post into it, I have got only about 15 - 30 visitors come to my site.
I have another page on Facebook with same niche with 3k users, but when I post a post, I have received 150 to 200 visitors.

So, you can tell me which is better ?

This brings up an interesting thing to look at... I personally find and could point you to others that have found the same, G+ may be less in terms of traffic, but by percentage of conversion is far greater. I honestly could care less how many link go over to my site.. I care about how many link over and buy something. As important as traffic is, its the conversion percentage from these points of entry that has to be watched.

How exactly does Google+ page help with ranking - how is this purpose realized?

If you use feedburner for your RSS feed ( A google Product ) when you publish content it automatically does 2 things. it indexes the new content on Google, AND it sends a notice to your G+ page that new content has been added. I am not going to say it always happens, but with low comp keywords it happens more frequently, on the first page of listings your new automatic G+ post linking to new content on your site will be listed. Very important here.. this listing is NOT permanent. I have seen it last hours, and in very few cases a day at the most. IF you get a share from on your G+ posting.. it will remain longer. ( more towards the one day ) My assumption is that the more clicks this listing gets.. the better your chances for a dang near instant decent listing of your site page content listing well is far greater.

Facebook delivers your own freinds to your website/blog while Google+ attracts huge crowds of people interested to your website. You can also get a free backlink from google+. I suggest Facebook only for famous brands and companies not for personal blogs or websites. It won't help! But it can seriously help if you try advertising.

 

[TellMeAboutIt]

It definitely depends on your niche, but as others have indicated, you should do BOTH.

I've found that G+ as been particularly effective reaching freelancers/entrepreneurs. Whereas Facebook is more of a vanilla, broad-reach asset. G+ is crawled DAILY which means you can grab the Google monster by the horns and force it to pay attention with frequent posts there.

I think Facebook is the best social media network. It helps to drive more traffic and getting more conversions than Google+.

Facebook tends to work great for me and it is better than Google+ Page. I get plenty of visitors to my blog through my Facebook Page. For user Interaction Facebook is a great platform.

First find out who your target audience is. Which social media channels they use? These are the channels where you also have to be active.

 

[AgentProv]

what you should is, join some popular groups in FB or G+ and share your link at there. It will help you to drive traffics instead of sharing your link in your business page.

 

[WebmasterPhil]

Hands down, Facebook by miles. Google+ have way too many empty profile pages, and let's face it, Google is a search engine and not a social network by birth. Their best properties are Android and YouTube, and even these properties maintain its own brand.

The only thing good about Google+ is that might have your website rank better if you got posts linking from it.

 

[novandak]

I choose Facebook fanpage as it generate more traffic that use Google+. It's my own experience.

Its true but for growing a page, then it is easier to start with Google+

Facebook Page and Google plus Page are all the same. But Google page ranks more faster than Facebook page. Google plus page can increase your SEO and performance too. But facebook face can make your business viral more faster. So Google plus and Facebook page both are same and important.

I heard this more times and its exact becuase Google+ is owned by Google and for sure it will get more SEO benefit when promoting on Google+ page.

Both are best at their own place. I agree with @esito29, Google loves their own product, so naturally Google values your google page than facebook. If its about Running an Ads, I surely go for Facebook, as they have wide base of customers. Google pages might help you with ranking. Both the pages are important.

Facebook fan page is much better than Google+ in order to drive more traffic towards your site.

 

[selenagomez1]

Facebook page is the best bussiness and personal page at the moment. In the case of getting traffic or real visitors, facebook is also the best. Google page normally just gives you backlinks, not many visitors, but Facebook does.

 

[vishwa]

Both are good Social Networking sites. Facebook have large audience while Google+ is a Google product and have good SEO value. You can targeted your audience wit Facebook.

 

[KleponPink]

Facebook is still the best. Everybody now has G+ too, but they don't spend time on G+ as much as they spend on Facebook.

Facebook is more popular, but you should use both. Try to join relevant communities in Google Plus and participate there.
