MySpace Is Still The Top Social Network

Writing by Brick Marketing on Friday, 16 of November , 2007 at 2:44 pm

With all the talk about Facebook, you would think they have already run off with the crown as the kind of social networks, but they haven’t. Marketing Pilgrim had a break down of the latest numbers from Nielsen, and it shows MySpace is still the king of traffic.

For the month of October, MySpace had a mind boggling 58.8 million unique visitors to Facebook’s 19.5 million. With the way the media lavishes love on Facebook, you’d think the numbers would be much closer together, but at nearly three times the visitors, you can see it’s not even close.

The percent of growth is even misleading as it shows Facebook grew by 125% and MySpace only grew by 19%. While some folks seem to be focusing on this number, I feel it’s misleading. Sure, 125% is impressive, but if you have far less members than your competition, isn’t it easier to achieve that number?

I am certainly not slamming on Facebook, I just don’t get the insane amount of attention it’s getting. So long as they are both big though, you might as well be using them in your marketing!
