Business and Social Media Numbers
It's hard to argue with facts.
You can look at hits on your website and get starry eyed about the numbers. But that is no comparison to half as many comments left on your Facebook page about the products or services you provide. And while those comments can be good or bad, they can all be of benefit to you.

I was watching football on October 18, 2009 around 5 pm on CBS. Something different caught my eye in a television commercial for Honda. They did not list their website at the end of their advertisement. They listed the link to their Facebook page instead! I went to the site later that evening and saw that they had acquired 62,861 fans at that time.
