Google+ Traffic, Audience Time Drop

+ Google suffered a setback a month after a huge increase. + Google traffic fell last week, time spent on site, according to Experian Hitwise.

Hitwise said that the Traffic + Google fell 3 percent to 1.79 million users in the United States the week ending 23 July after rising 283 percent in the previous week. Average time spent on Google + is about 10 per cent for 5 minutes and 15 seconds, reports Bloomberg.

Estimated to require a big star Hitwise: Hitwise is not measured by visits, mobile applications, or API, so that everyone use the iPhone and Google Android + does not count. Since the application for the iPhone + Google launched last week and as soon as graphs to supplement the App Store, there's a good chance that mobile users move to Hitwise reported losses. Google has also removed from the accounts and false names, which may affect the loss.

However, for services that only a month, drop in Internet traffic is a problem, and commitment. + Google seems to be suffering the same growing pains, such as Twitter, which many people want services to see what is in fashion, but quickly lose interest. This is certainly what we see with family and friends who joined Google +, but it soon became active users after.

However, it differs from Google + Twitter, which is designed to connect to other Google services, that many people already use on a regular basis. As I said, if the 20 million + users in Google, possible service is its ability to expand the social circles of users with products such as Gmail, Google Docs, Google and YouTube. In addition, game + Google also inevitable that people were coming back. And, of course, Google + by invitation only, to limit the number of people who can join the service.

So, do not sound alarms at the moment. + Google still has a lot of potential, but the people are separated from the early days of Facebook and Twitter will not be easy .
