Facebook and Twitter, major sources of traffic

If we talk about video search and audiovisual content, according to a study published in collaboration with the Brightcove advertising network TubeMogul, Twitter and Facebook are the two media that have grown most in recent months regarding the ability to generate traffic to sites like YouTube, Vimeo and the like.

The study shows once undisputed leadership by Google on these aspects. Google is the source of almost two thirds of total traffic that the video portals, and the nearest pursuer is Yahoo, with “only” 12%.

But perhaps the most interesting part of the study is the monthly variation of these statistics. Twitter and Facebook grow much faster than any other competitor.

If current growth rates will be maintained may soon exceed Yahoo, already this year. And services like Twitter and Facebook are not just simple social networks.

Today, with so much content on the web is more likely to be interested in something that our friends and contacts are shared.
