Here’s a fun social media infographic from the people over at Hubspot. By the way, Hubspot is one the BEST original content creators in the Internet marketing industry, IMHO.
I thought it was pretty interesting that 17% of social media marketing spending was done on MySpace. It just goes to show you that MySpace isn’t dead just yet. I also thought it was interesting that so few corporations focus on blogging. Blogging was the first social activity on the Internet, and it still serves as a very important role for website SEO. Blogging, when done right, can be the ultimate source for inbound links, and inbound linking with quality anchor text is search engine optimization gold. It’s what Google focuses on the most these days when it comes to giving your website higher rankings.
$1.7 billion spent on social media in 2010, what do you think it’ll be in 2011? My prediction is $4 billion dollars. Looks like I am in the right industry!
