Google+ growth slowing down

Google+ entered with bang, no doubt. The social networking site, a direct competitor to the present juggernaut Facebook, got everyone (and their grandmother) curious, with the Internet witnessing once again the massive rush of threads with users asking (aka begging) for invites to get onto the site. The social site collected million of users within days, with Google saying that it has about 10 million users already.

However, according Experian Hitwise, Google+ has been slowing down in traffic, with users spending less and less time on the website. To put that in numbers: for the week ending July 23, Google+ had a total of 1.79 million visits. That’s a 3 percent down from the 1.86 million visits registered in the previous week. As for the avg. time spent on site, that took a slight hit as well, with a user spending a total of 5 mins and 15 seconds per visit, as compared to 5 mins and 50 seconds for the previous week.

Google declined to comment on Experian Hitwise’s numbers, only saying that the stats did not factor in traffic from mobile websites and of users who visit Google+ via another Google service like Gmail.
