Has anyone used facebook to promote their website
-
Hi i have seen lots of facebook pages that are being used to promote a company and would like to know if anyone is using facebook or any other social network such as myspace to promote their website without having to pay a fee.
I would love to see some examples and learn how to set up a facebook page that is there to promote a website.
What i would like to do is to have one that promotes my travel website where i can post travel stories on facebook and promote my website and also drive traffic to my website from facebook.
any help would be great

i have opened a facebook account but i think i have done it wrong. i think i have opened a business account which according to what i have just read on facebook does not give me many features which include the search bar and it also says that it is hard for people to find me.
here is my page https://www.facebook.com/pages/In2town-holiday-magazine/298905640155110?sk=wall
which way should i have done this to attract visitors to my page and be able to promote while still being able to get people to find me if they are searching for holiday news

no i am not saying that joseph, i am saying that i want to use facebook to increase the brand awareness and post news on there so people will then go to my main site and read the rest of the news article.

There is no charge for creating a business page or any other type of organisation page: Start here
Are you saying that you plan to use Facebook as your main website? That is all well and good but I would question whether you will gain much traffic via the search engines where you will be competing with websites that will have a lot more control over content for SEO. Your best method for gathering traffic on a Facebook page will be through effective engagement with the Facebook community... you might find that difficult if you are not familiar with how Facebook works - I would recommend reading a guide first.

what is the best way to set it up without facebook saying hold on a minute this is a commercial site we want paying.
when i have looked at this when you sign up to facebook it wants a human name so how do sites such as this site http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001816305285 manage to have the name weight loss
what i want without paying is for people to search and find my page on facebook and know it is about travel

I've help a couple of my clients to set this up. It's a double edged sword because if they dont stay on top of it and keep it up to date, the Facebook page looks like old news and will give a negatove slant towards reputation management for them. If they do work at it though, they can benefit assuming that anyone on Facebook cares a damn about their products or services. I have a client who repairs boilers. He's #1 in Google for all his terms but nobody cares about boiler repair on Facebook.
If you can:
- tell a funny story related to your business
- share a related video that will amuse people (perhaps even go vial) - say something relevant to what people are doing (at xmass for easter etc)
then it can help. People who read something amusing or captivating on Facebook are far more likely to check out a link to the site owners web page. It just needs some real effort and proper thought. The odd post saying something uninteresting just wont help. In which case, its a waste of energy IMHO.

CPA for Facebook Advertising
I'm just wanting to find out more if I can set a CPA strategy for Facebook advertising and re-targeting. An acquisition for us would be when someone reaches our thank you page. This indicates a successful conversion on our site. Are we able to set a Facebook strategy where payment is only made for advertising upon reaching that page (and achieving that conversion)?

How to rip benefits of Facebook Group likes and shares?
Hi guys. So, here is the question/task I'm battling for several days: As you know, you can't share as a company page in facebook groups. However, you can on other pages. If I share on other page, and people like my post, I can invite those people to like my page, no problem there. However, if I want to share a post in FB group, I can only share as myself, and whenever people like that post, they like a post of me as a person, therefore I can't invite them to like my page, unless I add them as a friend (which is not the best scenario really). The same question goes towards when someone shares a post. So, what is the best way to get some benefits from people I can't invite to like a page directly? Thanks!

Facebook Name Change and Effect on SEO
Hey Mozzers! Trying this one again as my timing was probably pretty bad with Easter. Working with a company who has about 20K followers on Facebook and about 500 backlinks to their current facebook page. They want to change the name of the page to better reflect the business. I need to advise on this but I'm not sure of and how it will effect them. Any one had any experience in this area?

Content Marketing - what to post on their facebook page
Hello, I'm doing content marketing for an article that is helpful in our industry. When I'm building a relationship with a website, on Facebook I first like their page. Then, I'm liking and sharing a couple of recent posts that stand out and are related to our site. Should I read their recent blog posts and comment on their facebook page thanking them that what I read was helpful while posting a link to their blog post? Or should I post something else on their facebook page? Or should I not post on someone else's facebook page? Thanks.

Merge Facebook profiles for SEO?
We are considering merging facebook profiles for our three stores. If we do this, users will not be able to "check in" at a location, but wouldn't it be better to have 4,000 fans on one profile than to have 2,500, 1,000, and 500 fans on the three profiles? The main site for these stores is also an ecommerce site.

Linking Facebook - Twitter - Website - G+ Profiles
During a spectacular presentation at Seattle Interactive Conference, Rand discussed how Google is able to see linkage between different social networks and a Google profile. Outside of setting up your Twitter feed to send loads of messages to your Facebook fans (or vice versa), is there a best way to communicate the "linkage" between your social media profiles to the search engines? Eg - How do you best signal to Google that your Twitter, Facebook, G+ and your website are from the same entity?
