Is it Better to Share on Google+, Facebook or Twitter?

Social Media  is all about Sharing:

All marketers know that if you can make something so shareable that it goes viral then you will produce results for brands that will sell products, make people famous and maybe even position your company as part of marketing folklore.

You only have to look at viral videos such as the Gangnam Style video to see the results of that. Social Media experts also know that sharing by peers and friends creates more traffic and trust than brand advertising so motivating sharing is the holy grail of social marketing

Google proudly announced recently after the Google+ launch that it was sharing one billion items per day. Facebook revealed at a recent announcement that

Users are sharing 4 billion items on the Facebook social network everyday. This is double what it was a year ago This trend will continue and predicts that it will double again in 12 months. The new apps they are developing will make sharing easier

Twitter revealed that it is sharing 350 billion tweets a day that makes the Google+ announcement seem rather small at only 1 billion and Facebook at 4 billion a day. The amount of sharing and traffic that Twitter drives is not always obvious from your referral traffic when you check your Google Analytics. In fact there are now 1 million registered Twitter apps that are sharing every day

So Google+ has the headlines and the the hype and Facebook has 750 million users but don’t forget Twitter in your marketing, it still is a sharing power house that keeps on giving.
