Is It True That Facebook Can Out-Do Google In Terms Of Targeted Traffic?

By Kamil Hamad


The Two Giants of The Internet World: Facebook & Google Which Do You Prefer For Your Business? Where should I advertise my business? Many people told me that Facebook is the number one place. Yet, another group of people tell me-Google Is Tops! I have come to see for my self that both Facebook & Google, have good points and bad points. I know when I used Google Adwords one month, I did not know what was doing. (This was a costly mistake)!



Facebook differs from Google in several ways on how they approach providing targeted traffic to their advertisers. Facebook, since it is a social platform, serves a different kind of visitor than Google does. Facebook users are generally looking first at connecting with friends and family, and do not normally go looking for solutions to their problems from products they could buy. They are most often seeking advice from their social network on what to buy. This can be a challenge to overcome for advertisers.

In contrast, Google advertising is designed more toward people who are actively seeking a solution to a problem or issue. This means that keyword based advertising is very effective. In other words, a person will visit the Google search engine with an intent to solve a problem, and in some cases, even buy a product.

The bottom line is that both Facebook and Google do offer different levels and quality of targeted traffic. The choice will ultimately depend on the goals of the marketing efforts. If you are looking to sell something then Google is the place to be and not Facebook. Similarly, if you want someone to sign up on your dating site you are better off marketing to them on Facebook. This is because this individual will already be on the mood to socialize. Both Google and Facebook are great sources of targeted traffic but marketing goals and budgets are what will drive you the marketer to choose between the two.

So, deciding on how your potential customers are hunting their answers will determine if Facebook or Google will provide your best solution for targeted traffic. They both work well. They just require a different viewpoint from the advertiser. Both advertising methods utilize a pay per click method, and both have free advertising venues as well. Facebook offers the free Facebook page and Google offers the Google+ Business page. These both offer a great venue that a marketer can use to promote their products and ideas.

Probably a major difference between using Facebook or Google for your advertising in using either one to promote our product or idea is the purpose that you have in mind for the final result. The difference in purpose would revolve around the choice of selling a specific product or are you wishing to promote the brand awareness of a product or idea. The sessions with Facebook last much longer than a Google search session, which would make the building of a brand awareness more logical for the use of Facebook. However Google has a better CPC performance matrix and wildly differing ad formats that Facebook does not have, making Google the better choice for selling a specific product.
