With 500 million users plus and growing at internet speed, it’s no secret Facebook is dominating social networking. Recent comScore data only reinforces the social network’s staggering growth. For example, Facebook accounted for 10 percent of U.S. page views in 2010, while three out of every ten Internet sessions included a visit to the site.

In December, Facebook’s U.S. audience grew 153.9 million, an increase of 38 percent from the same month in 2009, and the social network became the 4th most visited web property. The total time spent on Facebook in December 2010 vs December 2009 surged 79 percent to 49.4 billion minutes. Total page views grew 71 percent to 76.8 billion. SOURCE- Techcrunch

Facebook has even surpassed Google, Yahoo and Microsoft in terms of time spent on each site, according to comScore’s data. Hitwise’s data also showed that Facebook was the most visited website in the US in 2010, beating out Google and others.

Although the data isn’t surprising, Facebook’s command over internet users time on the web is impressive. No wonder advertisers are flocking to the social network to reach users. SOURCE- Techcrunch

“Why Facebook…”

Because that’s where the people are. Just look at the stats above. More and more people are flocking to Facebook everyday. More importantly, these people are spending a whole lot of time on the site.

Also, because of Facebook’s social nature, people tend to trust it more. Especially because you can rate your favorite places by clicking the “Like” button.

When a potential customer sees a businesses page has a lot of “Likes”, they will believe that this must be a good place to go spend time and spend money. This is EXACTLY what every business owner wants!
