Findings
The report, available in infographic format, shows critical information for social media marketers and others interested in the future of the websites.
This report shows the search interest for each site over time, dating back to as early as 2005. We see the explosion of Facebook in 2009 while the other big four social sites saw more steady growth. Perhaps most interesting though is the 2013 forecast. In each case we are seeing notable growth, meaning these sites will continue to dominate in the social aspect of online marketing.
Facebook wins the consumer interest battle with a score well near 100 when compared to the other sites. 100 is the highest metric on the Google trends search report. YouTube, Google, LinkedIn and Twitter have all seen less than half the interest of Facebook. The forecast shows that this trend will continue allowing Facebook to remain by far the most sought-after social media site.
Outside of forecasted growth, the study shows the interest for each social site by region. This data can be seen based on the darker areas in the infographic. Interestingly, the most engaged region per capita for Facebook was Turkey, for Google Mexico City, for LinkedIn the Netherlands, for Twitter Istanbul and for YouTube Lima. This information only furthers the idea of the global distribution and engagement these social sites have.
This study shows strong growth for each of these sites. We encourage marketers to share and cite this data. We are allowing this image to be utilized on other websites, we just ask that you reference Ignite Visibility.
