Which Social Network Drives the Most Traffic to Your Website? [POLL]

Facebook typically drives around 60 percent of all the traffic Search Engine Journal get from social media networks. This isn’t too surprising, considering how big Facebook is with over 2.2 billion monthly active users.

But Facebook isn’t the top source of social traffic for every website in every industry.
