In it’s Digital Advertising and Social Intelligence Report for Q3 of 2015, Adobe looked at 900 billion impressions and compared them on search and social platforms, as well as visit data from social media, and found that Facebook ad impressions rose 10% between Q2 and Q3. Revenue per visit from ads rose on – Pinterest, Twitter and Reddit. Facebook outranked them all with $1.24 revenue per visit! Pinterest ($0.74) came in second Twitter ($0.60) third, and Reddit fourth ($0.57).
Similarly, Facebook’s ad CTR growth was 35% in the last year, whereas Google’s was only 25%. That’s a full ten point difference, which should really get Google thinking hard about it’s ad product lineup. Facebook has consistently shown that it can reach more relevant audiences, and on the devices that they are on. The same study showed that desktop and tablet traffic from social media did rise, but smartphone traffic doubled! It is well-known that a huge percentage of Facebook users visit the platform on their smartphones.
