How to Gather Facebook Fans

How to Gather Facebook Fans

For many businesses and institutions, having a Facebook page is an effective
way to promote their products and services, and can significantly expand
their network. Getting tons of fans on Facebook is easy, if you just follow
some of these simple ideas.

First off, start with what you already have. Click on the "Suggest to
Friends" button and invite friends from your original profile. The number of
fans you will get from this method depends mainly on the number of friends
that you actually have and your relationship with them. Aside from this, you
should also invite your e-zine and e-mail subscribers. Send out an e-mail to
your subscribers informing them of your fan page, and place a logo of
Facebook in your newsletters.

Get the people who regularly visit your site to go to your Facebook fan page
by embedding eye-catching things on your website. Choose from a number of
widgets that you can embed on your site, such as the Fan Box widget, where
you can display your page stream and some fans, or the Live Stream widget,
which fans can use to send comments in real time. You can also load nice
videos on your Facebook page and embed them on your website or your blog.
The video serves as a link to your Facebook fan page.

People are attracted to unique and interesting material. A great way to get
more people to check out your Facebook page and like it is to add
interesting stuff on your fan page. Make your fan page unique by uploading
an attractive welcome video on your main canvas page. Here, you can share
what your page is about and why people should "Like" it. There are also a
number of Facebook applications that you can try adding to your page to make
it more appealing, such as Vpype, a live video-streaming application where
you can air Internet shows directly from your page. There are also several
companies that create custom Facebook applications, depending on what you
want.

After doing this you post interesting updates, articles and news relevant to
your business on your Facebook, so that people who are added in your list
get the post and are forced to comment on your profile. By doing this the
user who will comment on your profile will in return automatically post your
comment to all users in his profile. This will notify more users about your
existence and you will end up getting more people in your network.

Don't forget to link, link, link. Make sure you add a link on your personal
profile page that will direct your visitors to your Facebook fan page. Place
your fan page's URL right below your profile picture, on the "Write
something about yourself" area, so that it will be easily visible to friends
who visit your page. You can also link your fan page to other sites, such as
Twitter. Your Facebook updates will automatically get posted to your Twitter
account, and you can also promote your fan page on your background and
Twitter bio field.

Above are the ways of doing it but the most important thing is that you keep
on posting on your Facebook profile. You have to be very active on Facebook.
An active profile is the key to attracting more and more users.

These are only a few of the things you can do to increase your Facebook
fans. Try them out!

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

How to Write Web Copy

Actionable tips for software developers writing web copy. Scan Web site visitors read websites very differently than they might read a book or a newspaper. Web visitors scan the text, rather than reading each and every word. As a result, the web copy should be designed to be easily scannable. That is not to say the copy should not be well written, but it should be broken into small "chunks" so that the visitor can easily scan it and take away the main idea. White Space Avoid dense copy. Copy should be broken into readable, digestible "chunks" and surrounded by a good amount of white space. Font Type Font size matters. Avoid using micro fonts. Studies have shown that the easiest type faces to read on the Internet are san serif fonts. Popular sans fonts include Helvetica, Avant Garde, and Arial. Popular serif fonts include Times Roman, Courier, and Palatino. Sans-serif fonts have become the de facto standard for "body" text on-screen, because monitors pr...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...
