Facebook Promotion Help
-
I am considering doing a iPad give away to gain more Facebook page likes. I have several questions running through my brain that I'm hopeful fellow Mozzers can help me with. I was thinking I'll give away an iPad for every 500 FB likes on our page...or $1.00 per like.
- If I get an abundance of likes will Google smile upon me?
- How do I track the entries?
- Are there any tools that can assist in getting the word out on this and or tracking it all? I'm kind of a FB newb!

Thanks for the tips! I'll check out those policies to ensure I'm within the guidelines.

Sounds good - the more 'real' interactions on your Facebook wall the more Google will like it.
Competitions on Facebook can be tricky though as you dont want to break their terms and conditions, I am not sure if you actually ask people to write something on your wall in order to enter the competition.
North Social have all the details and links to Facebook Competition policies.
Goodluck though.

Great answer! Thanks for the advice. How about this as a revised plan.
-Use North Social to give away 1 iPad/month to entreprenuers/businesses
-Advertise the promotion on my site (get 40K visits/month) and directly on Facebook.
-Make an entry requirement to post on our wall how the iPad will help them in business.
Will I get a positive look from Google with this plan or do I need to change the implementation of the last step somewhow?

Hi, We've had experience with a number of Facebook promotions.
- Quick answer is no. Fanpage likes can easily be bought/fabricated, the raw numbers dont really matter that much. But you are building a valuable community around your brand which can help drive traffic back to your site or a fan page member might 'like' or 'comment' on a post that you make on the wall. Building up your brand, gaining Facebook shares or comments will get Google to smile upon you!
- The 'sweepstakes' app of http://northsocial.com/ is exactly what you need. You have to pay a small monthly fee for the full North Social suite... but it's definitely worth it.
- The 'sweepstake' app with North Social enables users to 'like' the page before they enter - this in turn, will appear on their facebook wall and hopefully stir up some interest from their users. You can also ask users to share the promotion directly. Finally, Facebook Advertising might work well for a cool prize like an iPad.
The biggest advice is to just give it a shot!

Are Facebook ads a waste of money?
Possibly a contrivercial topic as it depends on the business industry and other factors. Although when we have created targeted ads, say for example British people who live in London, aged between 30-55 as our 'targeted audience', set the ads live and we get nothing but fake followers and people from eastern countries. It seems to me as a complete waste of money.

Promoting our blog posts. Effective ways and planning.
Hi Guys. I work for TOAD diaries, we make personalised journals and diaries. So we've taken a dive into blogging recently to help with brand awareness/ loyalty and increase traffic to our site. We don't have much of a social media following. So I'd like to know about other effective ways to promote them. The advice seems to range from extremely obvious and generic on the one hand i.e) post it to your Facebook, twitter etc, to seriously in depth, using a multitude of tools I've never heard of. I mean it's pretty overwhelming 😕 So I'd like to focus down on 5 or 10 ways I can 'get it out there' effectively. Any thoughts? What are the essential tools/ techniques/ jobs I should be doing? Etc etc. Note on our blogs: They are very different from one another, so far we've done how to make an origami boat and paper vs digital: part 1. We're also working on a time management piece at the moment. So they're all to do with paper, stationery, organisation, planning ect. But like I say each blog post is quite varied. Thus the target market varies too. Also, do let me know what you think to the blog posts 🙂 Any area's we can improve upon? Cheers guys. Isaac.

Facebook Page Banned and Removed Due to Negative Comments Against A Single Post - How to Recover?
Hello. I'm working with a very reputable company - and their Facebook page has completely disappeared. Yesterday, a random visitor flagged a couple posts as abusive, and today the page is gone. Some sort of negative social tactic. Has anyone experienced this and is there a way to recover? Is there a way to have Facebook reinstate the page? Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

Facebook Virality Metrics Compared To Open Rates
I'm trying to put Facebook's Virality Metrics in a framework I understand better. In email marketing, if you consistently get 25% to 30% open rates on newsletters, you're doing solid in most industries. What would you all say the equivalent for that is in Facebook Virality? Thanks, Ruben P.S. If it's drastically higher than 4% - 6%, I'm going to be very sad.

Tool like Followerwonk for Facebook?
Hi For Twitter using Followerwonk you can gauge the influence on what a person/brand is using a tool like Follwerwonk helping you find the most influential twitter users based on a number of metrics. But is there a similar tool for Facebook which shows which brands/companies Facebook sites have the most influence. Or is the best way to gauge this is just on their number of likes? which is not really accurate

Facebook Admins
Hello, Can you give admin status to a user, that doesn't give them the ability to remove other admins. This would be editor or contributor in wordpress. The concern here is that an admin can delete the other admins. IF ATT gave admin to a disgruntled employee, they could lose a page for some time. Thanks
