    On Twitter you can get visitors who may be looking for services as well. But on Facebook you should use it for getting more and more likes.

    I think facebook gives more organic traffic than twitter mostly because of the amount of facebook users. Although twitter can give such traffic only if you have more real followers

    Twitter I believe it's more much easier to connect with. Not liking facebook groups at all. Has served me no purpose yet.

    You may find different people showing different stats. Some of them would be favoring twitter, some of them may be facebook and other may favor stumbleupon/delicious etc depending upon their business nature and depending upon their influence on that particular network. These all social networks have potential to provide your with large number of unique visitors, but it only depends upon how do you plan your social media activities.

    To add to the discussion,

    I find it easier to connect through twitter. You just have to worry about 140 characters.

    My stats show twitter to be more effective than facebook.

    But admittedly I am going to look at facebook again.

    Twitter in comparison has gone in for drastic innovation in terms of how people talk to each other online. Twitter can be called as a partially geeky (with its @ symbols and formulaic syntax) yet highly entertaining and engaging medium. Updates on Twitter are immediate and sometimes highly enriching. The uniqueness of Twitter is its biggest USP. Facebook is cool. While some people are drawn to geeky things, more people are drawn to cool things. It's as simple as that. Twitter is more "geeky" because it's unique, whereas Facebook is much more "common", and then points out five reasons why Facebook marketing is far superior to marketing on Twitter.

    why not, you can get more and more traffic from facebook if you know how you use this platform, you should join your business relevant groups then post there your site's links and then i think obviously you will get good traffic from facebook, however twitter have his own importance.

    Facebook or Twitter, if you are persistent in your work with these sites, they can be of great contribution for driving traffic.

    In many sense facebook is much better and user friendly than twitter. But the basic concept of both social sites are different so both are on top in their category.

    It really depends on the likes/followers ratio that your accounts and fan pages are having. If you have more followers, it should be easy. But it's the same for facebook in terms of likes so from an experienced point of view I'd say you go for both.
