Although Facebook is now the largest social networking site, other sites in the social networking arena are also not to be underestimated. To get a glimpse of the dynamism of the various well-known social networks, we used Google Trends to analyze some of the major social networking sites and list 29 sites with 1 million independent visits per day. Although the amount of independent traffic is not representative of the number of users, but at least we can see from this data the site's active and popular degree.
It should be noted that this statistic is based on Google trends through its own algorithm, so there may be some discrepancy with the actual traffic. First, let's take a look at the approximate status of these 29 sites and the number of independent visits to the day:
From the above we can probably understand the following points:
1:facebook has claimed that half of the users log on to the site every day, and from the above we find that the number is not exaggerated.
2: For the second Orkut. We have mentioned in the article "How big is Google," which belongs to Google, the main flow from Brazil and India. But the gap with the first place is quite large.
3: The most lost should belong to MySpace, ranked only in the 12th place. If you drop a bad one, there should be another friendster, and it's a list of millions.
4:facebook's traffic is staggering, adding up the traffic to the other 28 sites, less than 2/3.
Here we have an independent analysis of each site:
Facebook
It should not be too much to introduce. From the chart above, we can see that Facebook's daily traffic makes all the other websites look the same. And this is just a website visit, Facebook currently has 600 million users, of whom 200 million often use mobile phones to log in. The data will be even larger if the user who logs on to the phone is added. As we can see from the image below, Facebook's daily visits are still growing steadily. was born in 2004.
