    I believe it depends on the number of facebook friends you have vs the number of twitter followers you have. I've had more luck at getting leads using a facebook fan page instead of my profile page or fb wall. Build yourself a nice FB fanpage and promote it in your sig link on various forums (within the niche you are currently working) and you should see results start to build in a few weeks. As with any marketing, it takes time and effort. There really are no shortcuts unless you have a big advertising budget.

    You should defiantly be using both. I have multiple twitter accounts that I have made good money from. The coolest thing about twitter is that tweets and links have the potential to go viral very quickly. Facebook probably has more users and thus a larger market. FB also has a wider variety of ways that you can reach out to your target market. ie. fb ads, groups and fan pages. As I have said, you should be using both. From a personal preference I like using fb more than twitter.

    My answer is It depends on your time. Well, if you have a large amount of time then do it both. If you have a very limited time like if you are going to school or have a job, then just do what is the most effective. Since on your opinion that facebook is better and you have a job or school time then work on your facebook the most.

    It depends on your niche to be honest.
    For example a graphic design or web development niche works better over Twitter where as a beauty niche would work better on Facebook.

    If your niche is within blogging, SEO or IM I would say Twitter is better. Overall I would personally say Stumbleupon ranks higher than Twitter and Facebook

    *Not advertising, showing an example.
    To show you the true power of Stumbleupon over Twitter and Facebook take a look at the following. This is a brand new blog I started a week ago, no previous followers at all. This particular post was made less then a week a go, take a look at the stats (scroll half way down the page for the social share bar to float on the side)
    http://blog-newz.com/blog/wordpress-seo-plugins-you-should-be-using/
    No paid promotion or fake thumb ups, that is purely natural Stumbleupon.

    Actually it depends on the nature of the website. In my point of view twitter is a platform where professionals meet and Facebook is a more personal networking platform. So choose according to your website or product nature.

    Neither... LinkedIn !!
    LinkedIn brings me more traffic each money than Facebook, Twitter & Google+ combined.
    I've got decent followings on each of them as well.
    Check my latest post to see how you can do it too.

    The marketing system and the system of giving visitor in facebook and twitter is different actually. I can compare with one another. If you master any one of them than other one you will gain more traffic from it. So, I think we should use both of them.

    After hash tag create from twitter. It work pretty well to make your post go viral .
    It usually depend on your market and what campaign you did .
    Facebook is more toward entertainment and twitter more good in information sharing , blog sharing , latest news and celebrity .
