1. REAL Social Power: Stats You Want To
See Before 2012!

2. How powerful has social media
become in 2011? Today, we check out
the latest stats that support the fact

From what you’ve been doing, to what
your customers are thinking – these
stats will get you on the right path for
the coming year.

3. * 1 in 4 display ad impressions in the
USA are from social network sites. But
there is still a resistance to social
advertising, even though it is highly
effective. Next year, spend more on
your social ad network.

4. * Facebook will reach 1 billion users in
2012. That means one in every seven
people on earth will be on this social
network. It only makes Facebook’s
marketing appeal that much more
prolific.

5. * The internet is becoming more
visual. Proof? A social image pinboard
site called Pinterest.com grew by 512%
this year.

6. * 95% of wall posts, get no response
from the brand page owners. This is a
serious problem that needs to be
addressed in 2012.

minutes spent on social networking
sites on the internet. What does your
page look like?

8. * 80% of all companies use social
media for recruitment purposes. What
does your social profile say about you?

9. * According to the research firm IHS,
television sales are down for the first
time in history. While this could be
happening for many reasons, ReelSEO
suggests that it’s because many
younger people don’t NEED a
television – they use the internet and
sites like Youtube. Makes you think,
doesn’t it!

10. * Google+ became the fastest growing
social network in history, with 25
million users in just 4 weeks. Pay
attention to the network and
interlinking expertise used by Google,
it’s the way of the future!

social network, daily. Mostly, it’s one
of the big 4 – Facebook, Twitter,
LinkedIn and Youtube.

12. * 95 million tweets are exchanged on
Twitter every day. This rapidly
increases when a breaking news story
hits.

13. * A US Department of Education study
showed that students, who learn
online, do better than students who
learn via face-to-face interaction. If
your company teaches online, it’s only
going to get better.

14. * Though half of the world’s
population is under the age of 30, the
people most active on social networks
across the world tend to be older than
that!

15. * 73% of all people believe that
employees overshare, when publishing
on social sites. Do you keep all of your
updates positive, uplifting and
professional?

16. * Using scheduled auto-posts when
publishing to Facebook, actively
decreases your comment interaction
by 70%, according to Inside Facebook.

17. * According to Mashable, 57% of all
people that like brands on Facebook,
say that they do it because the brand
offers them free discounts or coupons.

18. * According to Hubspot, 20% of all
