Sending a global facebook message
-
Hi,
This is really a social media question, hoping you can help.
We have 2 facebook sites that we are going to delete. One is a group and one is a page. Here they are:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/NLP-Institute-of-California/101752159860852?ref=ts
and
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=90698249783
How do we send a message to all people in both groups all at once letting them know of our new facebook page that we're making?
We're also concerned that people will get 2 emails that are subscribed to both sites to be deleted..
Thanks!

Bob,
Since you don't have a lot of "likes" plus the page has been inactive for so long, I'm not sure you're going to get much traction by emailing everyone. I also don't think it will hurt anything. I know... real helpful right? If you do send an email, I would suggest making sure that you call out the name of the group or page specifically so if they do get two emails, they see it's because they belong to both.
As Frank mentions, it's also good to add info about moving the pages right on the page itself. That might get people's attention more than anything.
Hope this helps!

I think this is a great idea in general. Let people know in several different ways that you're moving the page. Adding a message to the page, plus a status update will let your "like"ers know in the app.

These facebook accounts are very inactive, last posts were like last May. Does your answer still apply?

My advice would be not to delete both pages immediately to put a count down warning on each page, with regular updates, for example, THIS PAGE WILL NO LONGER BE ACTIVE IN 10 DAYS please come over to our new page to continue receiving information. then you leave like a final this page is closed post again redirecting to the new pages, and finally i would delete after a couple of weeks... I know it's extra work, but people don't always read their e-mails especially those who receive thousands a day, you will find all your active members will get the notice, and that's really the majority that matters, right?

Facebook: reaching audience who have liked / shared my content
Hi, I am new to social, so the question might be a bit beginner. If I put a like / share / recommend button on my site, or maybe a comment box, how can I reach audiences at a later time, who have interacted with my plugins (liked/shared/commented)? Paid ads would be one solution, but for now I am interested in organic (free) targeting. So if people who share my content do not become fans at the same time, how can I engage them in new updates about my page? Thanks for thoughts.

Is the reason the Philpotts Facebook page does not appear for target term "Philpotts Sandwiches" down to no mention in the description & no mention in the url? Would like to know the classic way to do on page optimisation ( I know this is will be very limited ) for a Facebook business page. Grazie tanto,David0 -
Does adding a twitter or facebook feed to a website help rankings in regards of providing fresh content?
I have been asked if this is a sufficient way to provide fresh content to a website, however I am unsure if Google considers this as "fresh content", and I can't seem to come across a clear answer. Any thoughts?

Facebook 'SEO', Likes and Fans
I spent a bit of time this morning combing Google looking for some documentation on SEO for Facebook, specifically the value of 'likes', when liking one's status, how that effects the visibility of a given post and basically the criteria for creating whatever they deem a post to have gone 'viral'. I'm convinced there has to be some answers for my first two questions... ....somewhere. Likewise, I can appreciate if there's nothing available to answer my third question pertaining to 'viral criteria'. Nevertheless, if anyone has any resources/documentation that could provide me some insight into how FB interprets 'likes', how an increased number of 'likes' may lead to greater visibility and (more or less) the mechanics of how this interacts with the entire Facebook structure, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for reading, I look forward to the responses!

Facebook Like on URLs
I have a doubt regarding the facebook LIKES for URLs Case 1: By using a Facebook Like Button (for URL) on my page(s). Here people are coming to my page and giving like directly on my page. Case 2: Here i'm not using any Facebook Like plugins on page, But my page got shared on facebook pages and profiles. And people are giving likes on facebook.com for my shared links. Is this two count as different methods? Explain me please.

Google does not index individual facebook posts often?
It looks like google (regular organic) does not index individual posts from facebook pages often, more likely the wall of the page itself or separate pages. Can someone confirm this?
