Okay! Social Media is this century's hype. What do you prefer the most when it comes to promotion of your site, blog or business? Facebook, Google Plus or Twitter? Do you keep a single profile for yourself and your business or you go with creating separate identities? Have you ever tried to find out which one is working better for you? and your business?

This thread’s core question (G+, Facebook or Twitter) still matters, but the platforms themselves have changed since 2012 — consumer Google+ was shut down on April 2, 2019, Facebook’s parent company rebranded to Meta in October 2021, and Twitter’s product/brand began a public rebrand to “X” in July 2023. Those shifts mean advice that assumed Google+ or “Twitter as it was” is out of date; choose channels based on current audience and business goals, not nostalgia. (workspace.google.com)

Practical account strategy: define one clear goal (brand awareness, leads, support) and map where your customers actually spend time. Use a business Page or professional presence (not a masquerading personal profile) so you get Insights, ad tools and admin roles — that’s the difference between a private profile and an official business Page on Facebook/Meta. Refer back to what noticed about traffic and to ’s point about qualified leads: raw clicks are less valuable than tracked conversions. If resources are limited, focus deeply on one platform that reaches your buyers rather than “being everywhere.” (facebook.com)

A short, repeatable test you can run in four weeks:

  1. Pick one platform and a single KPI (e.g., leads or purchases).
  2. Create a small content/ad plan (3–5 posts/week + a modest boost).
  3. Tag every outbound link with consistent UTM parameters (use Google’s Campaign URL Builder).
  4. Measure sessions, conversion rate and cost per conversion in your analytics, then compare to baseline and iterate. This gives clear, comparable data so you know which channel actually works for your business. (ga-dev-tools.google)

Operational cautions and quick wins: avoid creating dozens of personal identities (manage access via Page roles instead, as and touched on). Keep a documented UTM naming convention, prioritize conversion quality over raw traffic, and re-check platform docs before acting — platform rules and features change frequently. The “best” answer is data-driven: test, measure, then scale.

Facebook, Google+ and twitter all three are best social networking sites. But for me Facebook transfers lot of traffic towards our website.

I agree with ClickSSL These three ar good social bookmarking sites to increase the PR of the targeted site.

All there have advantages and disadvantages. These three social networks address different kind of crowds. It's a good idea to maintain some sort of presence in all these social networks. However if you are pressed for time and can focus on only one Facebook tend to bring in more qualified leads. This can vary by your product, service and niche. So it is always a good idea to test it out and see.

creating separate identities

We can use three of them to promote our site. Of course, create a main account and many separate identities will be a good choice.

These days it is bettter to use all three. It may take some extra time but the return on the value for using multiple platforms for social media is greater than the input.
