    Fan Pages don't operate like normal personal pages. You don't add friends, people have to join. You can invite them to join, but as a page administrator you can't join other pages or profiles. Anything that you join will be as your personal account.

    Setting up a page is pretty easy and you can customize them pretty well if you know some basic HTML, using the "FBML" boxes and extended profile apps.

    No, there are many ways. They offer some good tips to increase your fan base, basically use the same marketing commons sense as you use to promote a blog or website.

    It also helps to have a blog or website with good traffic.

    No there are no "friend request" sections, but you can get your name out there by joining like groups in your niche and commenting,and joining in some discussions...just like you would with a blog.
    First place to start would be with your own FB friends on your personal account.

    ive got several fan pages - I have one that is 5 days old that should break 1,000 fan today. Starting with your own friends is the easiest way to start

    There are apps that allow you to make a tabbed page or box in most HTML (they call it FBML). You need special tags to insert videos and I don't thing Js is allowed.

    I have a page. Maybe we can exchange fans.

    You can get fans by inviting all your friends and then asking them to invite all their friends. It's a great way and it's a chain reaction. :D

    Here's a tutorial on creating Facebook fan pages. They're good if you have discovered an untapped niche that doesn't currently exist in the Facebook Page world..otherwise, they can get lost in the pile very quickly. You'll have to promote it with existing websites or blogs.
