News organizations (along with businesses of all kinds) have been able to create official Google+ pages for a couple months now so I thought I’d check in and see how their pages are doing. The list of organizations is not meant to be comprehensive; I chose a cross-section of print, broadcast and Web-only outlets. Per Post Shares.

Social sites use infinite scrolling as a way to offer a never-ending stream of new content, and it has appeal for sites that want to offer a seamless browsing experience for large groups of items. This approach, and organizing the archives by date, is a good fit for a news site. Don’t Forget SEO.

That’s a question I’m commonly asked by organizations that are attempting to establish benchmarks and assess their current performance. Organic search had a strong showing at 37.8%, so reports of its decline as a major traffic channel are simply not correct, especially for media sites. Social Media 10.2%. Other Web Sites 22.3%.

For this year’s comparison I started with the group of sites I looked at last year (see Google Page Speed Ratings One Year Later ) and added in the majority of sites from News Organizations on Google+: Which Pages Get the Most Engagement? Among the rest of the group all but one site received a higher score this year.

It’s been a year since I took an early look at engagement rates for news organizations on Google+ , so I thought I’d revisit the topic and do a fresh comparison. I used the same news organizations as last time with a few changes and additions, bringing the list to 48. Mashable at #2 is also doing very well.

The best solution is for Google to fast track the Google+ business pages, which they now appear to be doing at least in terms of working with an initial test group. With various media sites already reporting good referral traffic from Google+ it is hard to blame any news organization for wanting to establish a presence ASAP.

Aid organizations are racing against time to save as many lives as they can, and what they need most right now is money. Unfortunately there are increasing reports of donation fraud online, so major news organizations are playing a vital role in directing people to credible, legitimate groups.
