But it is possible to make some basic comparisons using data from some of the free tools that are available. Since I’ve been comparing major news sites in variety of areas ( Facebook and Twitter impact; YouTube and new Digg activity; site speed and domain authority , among others) I thought I’d look at overall social media engagement too.

Followerwonk from SEOmoz is a great tool for researching Twitter users. The Twitter bio search allows you to easily find and evaluate users in specific areas. But if you are looking for a simple way to do a relative comparison of users, these tools offer a basic metric you can use. Each tool is free unless otherwise noted.

Adam Singer summed up the general sentiment in recent conversation we had on Twitter: “Reddit / Stumble won.” I just found the comparison interesting and I thought I’d share the findings here. Related posts: Survey: Twitter Less than 1% of Traffic to Newspapers and Magazines; Facebook 1%.

There’s also a domain comparison report that allows you to see what terms a competitor is ranking for that you are not (or alternatively what intersecting terms you share).

Nevertheless, here are my top 10 posts of 2011 by pageviews: Which NBA Teams Have Seen the Most Growth on Twitter and Facebook? I used to do team comparison posts with some frequency but I scaled back, mainly because the figures become outdated so quickly (and since social media is more than a numbers game). Original idea!

To take the comparison a step further, I also ran Page Speed on the top 10 sites’ lead article. One thing to note is that Page Speed scores fluctuate a little each time you run it. I double-checked several pages; some scores remained the same but others changed by 1 or 2 points. What Horrible Things Did Time Magazine Do in 1964?

In my ongoing look at mainstream media outlets and social media I have done multiple posts on news sites and Twitter, Facebook and Digg but I’ve yet to look at YouTube. So whether they see it as a necessarily evil or a great chance to reach new audiences, YouTube is in the social media mix. What Horrible Things Did Time Magazine Do in 1964?

I definitely agree with your tree falling in the forest comparison. A smaller audience but better matched can be just what’s needed in some cases.

While the methodology and accuracy can be debated the tool does offer way to make a relative comparison of various Facebook Pages, so that is all I am attempting to do. I used the default CPM just as a means to make a relative comparison between the various news organizations. The CPM can be adjusted between $1 and $25.

But it offers a basic snapshot that allows for a relative comparison. Diversified Twitter Strategies for News Sites. For each profile I captured the three available data points: photos, followers and following. Looking at follower counts is not particularly instructive since these figures quickly become outdated.
