    Facebook has a beautiful icon, you know? yes it is like button. The all play is role out with this like button. You have to make an unique persona in FB. Then have to join community pages, create a like fan page, making groups etc. Let your fan be known about your website, its facilities, it's upcoming news, whatever everything. Thus you may make a huge fan and follower of your website and that's how you can market your business. Nowadays this is like crazy business as it brings so much success.

    Then i must say fist create a page or group and then ask your friends to like it or goto other pages and ask them to like your page and also get the facebook page box for your website and if you have rss then updating page would be easier for u ie when u update your site the facebook page will also update it self its called dlvr.it

    Here’s just one specific way of exposing your Facebook Business page to other Facebook pages that have hundreds or thousands of fans.

    When you’re logged into Facebook. Go to the “Account” menu at the top right side of the Facebook page. Under that menu, choose “Use Facebook as Page” and choose your Facebook Business page. Then choose “Switch” so that any comments you post will be under the name of your Facebook Business page and not your personal Facebook name.

    So if your name is Jane Doe and your Facebook Business page name is “My Best Social Media Tips”, when you post it will show your name as My Best Social Media Tips not Jane Doe.

    Then go to the top of the Facebook page and use the Facebook search bar to find other Facebook business pages. You are going to look for pages that have a lot of fans or “Likes”. So let’s say you are a social media consultant that wants to target customers of Etiquette businesses. In the Facebook search type in “Etiquette training” or “Etiquette coach”. Then start scanning the results looking for pages that are businesses that have high counts of “people who like this page”.

    Follow the link and determine if that is the type of business that has people you want to target. If it does, then “Like” the page. Now that you Liked it, you can use the @<facebook name> command in your comments and it makes their name a link AND it makes a comment on your own wall (or any Facebook wall) appear on the wall of that businesses page. The result is that you have a link with your Facebook business page on their wall exposed to all their fans.

    I like to start by complimenting their Facebook content. NEVER post a comment that asks their fans to “Like” your page. That is SPAM!

    Let’s say you Liked the Facebook page “Success with Etiquette Training”. You can create a comment on your Business page wall like – For those that have asked us about business lunch etiquette, @Success with Etiquette Training has great tips on all types of situations.

    This not only appears on your wall, but it appears on Success with Etiquette Training wall and your link back to your Facebook page. It would like this:

    My Best Social Media Tips For those that have asked us about business lunch etiquette, Success with Etiquette Training has great tips on all types of situations.

    You’ll be getting exposure to their entire “Like” or fan base with a link back to your page.

    getting traffic from fb to website is a time consuming task and it really need continuous updation of your business facebook page and promote them to various friends time by time is also necessary.. patience always pays.. so working hard for likes and adding more fans could drive the huge traffic from your page to ur website...

    it drives traffic if you have created a fan page that has many likes.

    Facebook can drive a lot of traffic, but you will need a fan page or group. You will also need lots of fans/likes and update your fan page on a regular basis.

    Yep- a good strategy is to make a fan page, offer incentives to to get people to "like your page" (contests, unlocks content, etc), build a relationship through engaging status updates, and fans will naturally visit your site to see what you're all about.

    Or if you're lazy, use a service like ping.fm to autopost blog posts as your FB statuses with a link back to your blog

    Facebook is the social experience. Join your friends, colleagues etc. Last but not the least, Facebook Fan Pages are DO-FOLLOW links so it'll definitely help you in seo.
