Following up on what appeared to be a slow March, Facebook traffic boomed again in April across demographic groups in the United States. Young adult age groups contributed the most, with women ages 18 to 25 leading in numeric growth. Overall, the site grew from 113 million to 120 million monthly active users.
Relatively speaking, the number of younger women and men on the site didn’t grow by that much.Meanwhile, the fact that Facebook is more female than male (by 55% to 45% or so), has suggested that there have been men out there who haven’t joined. Especially older men. Many more of them joined last month than we’d been seeing in recent months, leading to a big surge in the growth rate. Men between 55 and 65 grew the most out of any group, at 8.8%.

If you post something on your Facebook Page, you might generate a good number of comments. But if you post your content in the context of a question, you provide an easy call to action. With a question, you engage people’s egos and provoke viral distribution of your content — everyone loves to share their opinion!At the DigiDay: Social conference this month, social media marketing application developer Fan Appzhighlighted an example of how a simple question can boost engagement. One of their customers — a leading video content provider with over 300,000 Facebook fans — routinely posts videos on their Facebook Page. The company found that when they paired videos with a question, video plays jumped by a whopping factor of 7 to 10. This simple yet effective strategy also generated 100 times more Facebook media impressions, as people posted videos to their walls in the context of their response to the question.

Especially if that mention is favorable, don’t be shy about tweeting thanks, tips or promotions to someone who’s shown your brand some Twitter love. Most of the time, users are surprised and delighted to find a name brand in their stream of replies. Exercise caution, however, when engaging with users who’ve made negative comments. Those conversations can go very well, or they can backfire. Always remain empathetic but professional.
