    I have my personal facebook account...

    now i have a popular website.

    Can i open a facebook account in the name of the website and maintain 2 accounts.
    We have lots of facebook users who wants to be our friends and remain updated with the contents of our site.

    We cannot do it from my personal account...

    Is facebook just for person.

    so how can we manage this situation...
    We are planning to abide by all rules in both accounts...

    please help

    ok even that seems dangerous...
    facebook just banned our organization facebook account ..
    may be for too many activities....
    We posted around 10 links....and create 4 pages....in a day
    (our account was banned...)
    may be they thought it was automatic...
    as our is portal site there are too many things happening....

    if i create a page and post those news links .....i am afraid my account will be disabled...
    Wrost ...i have found facebook doesnt give second chance to explain....we emailed to disable@face...
    but no response...

    All content was 100% clean and as per laws...
    our contry laws are more stricter than facebook and our is legal site so there is no question that we pass a problematic links...
    still.....

    just make a fan page/group page or a group page. i tried doing this for my business selling beauty products before.

    1. you can't put the name of the business as the name of the facebook user
    2. it's a lot easier maintaining one site
    3. friends on your fan page/ group page would be different from yours

    You can make a facebook page for your business and it can be separate from your actual personal profile.

    Ok i have thought of opening a facebook account on organization name and under that opening page for business...
    If i just open page under personal account...
    it wont look relaible for users...
    there are many features that just page cannot do and account can...for eg create application ...
    If there is some problems in page...we fear facebook deletes the personal account....so separate account for business will be better?
    what about it?

    Is there written any where is should be HUMAN person only for account...
    Ok even in organization case there will be some human operating it but name of account xxz pvt ltd will suggest it is not human
    any thoughts?

    Facebook fan page, that is the way to promote your business. Well, if you try to make new account, try to do it in different ip address, using proxy surf.

    Using proxy will be asking for trouble and raising suspision.....i think these sites can detect that you are on proxy which will raise red flag...for nothing just ads danger

    Create a PERSONAL account with your REAL human details, then using that account create a business PAGE. People from the organisation will be able to use their personal accounts to interact with users through the business page.

    well thanks
    I KNOW WE CAN CREATE FAN PAGE FOR BUSINESS
    but my question is...
    DOES FACEBOOK ANY WHERE CLEARLY SAYS NON HUMAN(BUSINESS) cannot open a facebook account?
    or who ever opens a account must be human?
    is it listed any where?

    There are some benefits having account rather than page for business...(like app creating...direct interaction with customers and so on ...)

    LIke above said you can use Fanpage to grow your business but I would recommend you to go with facebook paid advertising. This is the most effective way to promote your site.

    if your business is a online one, then fb will help you in expanding your business. Even if your business is not a online business, even then fb can help you.
