    if you want more likes on page, you should advertise you page, this will promote your page and you get more like.

    They have no real value. You have a count, but it means nothing. Get them the natural way, it will save you money..

    Natural way by telling your friends about it and having them share it with their friends and so on and so on.

    For the first start is not a bad idea to buy some likes or followers, facebook users will like your page more quickly if they see that yor fb page has already some likes...

    Purchasing likes and followers can give an account or page a temporary boost in the numbers. People like to see numbers when they visit a page or account when determining if they want to like or follow. It shouldn't be used as a permanent means to grow an account or page. The best accounts and pages, (ones with real value), are grown naturally over time.

    The question is really about why you are using social media in the first place. If it's a popular page, the growth should happen organically and over time and will end up creating a much stronger community as a result. To buy followers means that you are just interested in chasing numbers instead of creating a valuable and sustainable thing. Don't do it.

    Buying followers is great as long as the followers are active, most of the twitter follower services around the web sell ghost followers, just to increase a follower counter. But, still there is some services that provide a real and active people.

    I'm using this two to boost my fan pages. The followers and fans are high quality. I ordered 5k twitter followers from think sociable and i'm getting around 150 daily visitors to my site, which at the end is very good invesment if you ask me.

    Hope it helps!

    The followers might not be targeted or interetsed in anything that you post. That is why I personally don't recommend it.

    The followers are not targeted, but as long as they are active and real it's awesome.
    My monthly traffic is around 3800 visits just from twitter, I made a lot more from adsense than I paid for them.

    I will order some more. I don't know how it works for other niches.

    You might be suprised!

    You can easily get followers from sites like youlikehits.com and like4like.org but for me personally it is a tool that can only serve for one purpose - give you the 'social proof' for the new followers (no one will really follow you if you have 5 followers, but if you have 500 they look at you differently!).
    These kind of followers have absolutely NO Value but they can make your account 'look cool'.
    The decision on whether to use it or not is entirely yours!
    Good luck :)

    Recently, I found a great way to gain new followers that is much better than purchasing bulk Twitter followers. Try using an auto-favorite program like socialwax.com. The program favorites hundreds of tweets using targeted keywords that you choose, and helps you gain real followers that are relevant to the brand or the account that you are trying to build. The favorite is just initiating the interaction, and then it is on the user to choose to follow you or not. This leads to a steady gain of real followers. SocialWax is nice because the program is clean and doesn't favorite spammy tweets. You find them on Twitter at @socialwaxer. Hopefully this helps.

    If you are sharing important info on web then you will automatically get likes.

    Don't buy likes. It does you no good creating a false perception of fame. How will you be able to measure your profile/page's success if a majority of your likes/followers are fake? Fake as in, the people behind that like do not care about you or what you share with them on your page. The difference between a page with a tremendous amount of bought likes and one that earned all of their likes is response.

    You can actually do something with a real following. Writing content to fake people serves no purpose and is waste of your time. As mentioned before, concentrate on building a following of targeted accounts. The purpose of using social networks is to communicate and if you are not communicating with the right people, your social campaign will be a failure.

    Buying likes may seem like a quick way to make yourself look popular and trusted, but you're not fooling anyone. Providing quality content and good communication with others is what leads to success in all social media. You can't communicate to a dummy. (As in a fake person. Not trying to offend anyone here).

    Its true though. People many time look at the likes of the page and then look into the content of the page and then like the page.
    I myself first look at the content of the page and then look at the followers or likes of the page and then i follow it too. Because these are some of the factors which people look into when they are going to like a page.
    And having fake likes is not the way to be a genuine page owners. There was a guy who once wrote on the web that he also increased his likes by talking to other page owners.
    He said that he increased his likes by talking to the owners of pages which have almost the same number of likes as your page and asking them to post promote your page on his page, in exchange that you also promote his page.
    And just to make the other person sure that you would also promote his page, you post his page on your page first and then show him that you did that.
    try to look for pages that have almost the same likes as you do. Pages who have million likes won't be listening to you. so try to stay in your own limits
