But then, amidst the heated competition between different websites we could never tell who could win this social media war. According to Valdes, an analyst, this is really a battle for the future web, not only search engines but about social web. That the competition is about new and old, between facebook as the early early leader in the social Web, and Google as the dominant player in the content Web. Everyone else, such as Microsoft, Yahoo and Twitter, will play a secondary role," adds Valdes, "and will start lining up on one side or the other." Other social media experts are in opinion that Google plus needs more time in order to get the crown from facebook. Facebook has already established its reputation so long before google launched its google plus. Its up to facebook how to maintain its standing in the rankings. If facebook is strong enough, google plus could never topple it down. However, its really too early to tell. With Google's resources and amazing social marketing strategies we could assume that it might get to the level where facebook now is, or even much higher. So what is the best for SEO? You decide.
