Law firms looking to draw traffic to their websites and blogs will want to move on from SEO to social media.
Technology journalist, Ben Weitzenkor (@benkwx), reports inEntrepreneur Magazine that social media may soon drive more traffic to websites than search engines.
Last year, half of all internet users ages 18 to 23, and 43 percent of users ages 24 to 32, used social networks as their go-to internet-discovery resource, according to a new report from Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester Research. Overall, social networks like Facebook and Twitter are the preferred means of discovery for nearly a third of all Americans, up from 18 percent in 2010.
At the same time, 54 percent of American internet users still relied on traditional search results to find the information they were looking for. As expected, that number is on the decline and, according to the report, represents a seven-point drop in overall search engine popularity from 61 percent in 2010.
Chris Sherman (@cjsherman), founding editor of SearchEngineLand, commented further on the generational differences in how people find websites.
