Social Sites Are A Threat To Google - Here's Why

By Abraham Joseph


It is possible that Google may be worried about certain social networks that have taken a world by storm in the last few years. Google used to reign supreme in regard to their ability to command the most people visiting their website to search for information, and also was the primary place that most people used PPC advertising.



Both Facebook and Twitter make it easy to follow the latest news. Twitter displays current trends in a sidebar, and Facebook also displays subjects that are currently trending. If a big piece of news hits, users will see it without ever looking for it.

Advertising used to be limited to having someone clicke on your link, and based upon the offer that was there, they would either buy your product or service, or leave. You could also set up a squeeze page in an attempt to capture their email address to market to them later, but this was also a matter of whether or not they signed up, were simply left after going through your advertisement. With social marketing, the game is changed.

Social media sites also allow people to get personalized search results. If someone wants to know more about a movie, or would like to get a book recommendation, they're far more likely to use social media than Google. They can ask their friends answers to the questions and get answers tailored directly to them. Google can't provide that.

Because there are other reasons to be on social media sites, users will find ways to use them for their searches whenever they can. If they want to know more about a celebrity, they may check their Facebook page or hashtag rather than starting up an internet search. Why take the other step when they could keep using a site they already enjoy? Google attempted to enter the social site realm with Google+, but that venture has been less than successful. If Google wants to stay on the top of their game, they need to offer a better social site experience.
