social networking traffic. In antithesis to the conclusion that the company is losing traffic, there have been several recent reports demonstrating strength in the company’s traffic numbers.
Earlier in April, a study performed by Piper Jaffray concluded that Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) was still the most popular social networking site among teenagers. More recently there was a Facebook redesign intended to drive traffic to the social network from Yelp!, and estimates for the firm’s mobile revenue continued to look healthy.
Today’s reaction concerning a drop off in traffic to Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) in the United States was slight. As the SocialBakers report stated, “The bottom line here is that there is no story.”
Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) is due to report its results for the first three months of 2013 on Wednesday. After today’s report, analysts will be studying the report closely for signs of weakness in the firm’s domestic market. So far in 2013, the firm’s stock has increased by just under 2 percent, despite the overall strength of the tech market, and the web industry in particular. In the same period, the Nasdaq index gained more than 9 percent
