Social Media Statistics and its Massive increase

Ok, so i cant hammer on this more and cant give you all the information behind it, but social media and social media strategies are becoming core factors for online.

I came across this information via comScore.com and looking at this we can see that social media is not stopping to grow any time soon, so if you don't get it after this then i don't know how much hope there is for you or your business in the internet marketing world.

Social is important and you need to know that, what people say about your business is not just becoming rankings factors in major search engines but it is also now where users will talk about who you are - conclusion is: if people talk about you in social then you could stand a better chance of ranking, AND more and more people are using social networks (as indicated below) so there is no fighting, users look for what they want on social platforms and listen to what their friends say, one way or another you will have to deal with social media and if you looking to "get your brand out there" then social networks are a good place to look into. (* I'm not saying social is everything but i want to place emphasis on the importance and the power of it*)

I personally love social and the kick behind it, the big role it is starting (has been playing) to pay in SEO and the amount of people it is getting online. Social media is basically the call to action of the world wide web, it works and you need it. point.

any way!, ill stop rambling off about what i think and give you the information.

Social Media Networks Statistics

Looking back from Jully 2007 till May 2011 and the total time spent online.

Then looking at Facebook and MySpace - in 2009 Facebook finally took ahead of MySpace

Looking at the size of Facebook and with its  157.2 million visitors in May i dont need to say anything more. its Massive, its ONE OF THE biggest companies in the world and it is SOCIAL !

Comparing LinkedIn, Twitter and Tumblr with their monthly unique vistors we also see the big rise in LinkedIn as a corporate social platform (yes that is Corporate and Social in one sentence, and it is here to stay ! )

These are all things we cant look away from, Social Media does have a massive impact online and the term word of mouth makes social media a very strong voice.

I truly wish i could share some more insight on this but you can read the full post on social media network effects by comScore .

Please feel free to share your thoughts, any questions will be attended to ASAP. lets get social. ;)

Enjoy
