Google+ Sees Big Growth Since Its Debut

Daily Real Estate News | Thursday, September 29, 2011

Google's new social network, which recently opened to the public, is seeing growth that could soon even bypass LinkedIn and Twitter. 

Google+ jumped by 1,269 percent to 15 million visits during the week of Sept. 24, according to Experian Hitwise. While that still isn’t close to Facebook’s 1.8 billion visits, Google+ has seen rapid growth since its public debut, after weeks in beta status.

According to Experian, Google+ ranked in eighth place among all social networks, behind LinkedIn and MySpace. Shortly after it was opened to the public, Google+ took third place in traffic, briefly overtaking Twitter, Forbes reports citing Experian data.

Google’s search engine has added the Google+ icon to all of its search results in promoting the new social network and also allowing searchers to recommend pages to Google+, Forbes notes.
