Since as an SEO, our primary and foundational task is internet marketing, we have to use whatever means possible to market our product, idea or service with the ‘big guns’ of the internet. Even so, if you ask me, search will still be one of the most competitive and dominating activities in the internet in the years to come (say, 10-20 years?) so I’m putting my money on search that’s for sure.įor us SEO practitioners and specialists, all we have to do is ride on Facebook and Google in whatever way we can. That’s only one of the already obvious facts on how Facebook is a threat to Google when it comes to internet domination. And since you can easily set your target market/customers because of the data that Facebook has gathered from them, it’s easily a hard-hitting competitor for Google – which relies on search data for it’s target market. Because it arguably receives more hits than any other site in the world today, it is one of the best places to advertise a product, service or idea. In fact, Facebook is already a threat to Google when it comes to advertising. Facebook is taking the internet’s Web 2.0 capability into a whole new different level. If you ask me, my answer is NO – but that’s just my two cents since I’m not a modern-age internet Nostradamus.īut there may come a time that it could happen because of Facebook’s huge attempt in collecting data for it’s own use through it’s new ‘Like’ button. Question is: Will there come a time that Facebook will be used more than all other websites in the internet combined? Facebook is limited only to it’s database and networks while Google is not. Facebook is starting to up it’s game and it has shown Google that it’s not a monopoly when it comes to hits.īut if you ask me, even if Facebook gets more hits than Google, when it comes to functionality – there is no competition.

There are statistical charts found in Mashable to back up this fact.

At long last, a contender has emerged to show that there is something else to do in the internet than just search. Just recently Facebook has toppled Google as the most visited site in some countries.
