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

By Abraham Joseph


Google dominates over other search engines. Many use the word "google" as a term for performing a search on the internet. But while Google may not have much competition from other search engines, they do have some real competition from social sites. Here's why Google should be afraid of Twitter and Facebook.



If you think about online auctions, for instance, when eBay came on the scene, many other companies tried to copy their success, only to fail miserably. Google was one of the first websites to offer a very easy way to find quality information online.

Despite the fact that Yahoo also had a hold in the search engine world, it's quickly lost its prominence in regard to Google. Therefore, Google is having trouble competing against Facebook and Twitter because they have created something absolutely unique in regard to social interactions online. Google Plus is Google's attempt to compete in this market, but because it came later on, it will never have a foothold these other two websites do.

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.

Instead of taking all of your advertising dollars, and putting it into traditional advertising, by using Facebook advertising, and setting up your very own Facebook page, you can start to build subscribers very easily, and also make more money than you did before as people begin to share what you have to offer on Facebook. This is a great way to on an excellent place to start marketing, all the while earning free clicks from individuals that found you from Facebook shares.
