Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to add my blog feeds to my facebook? Would you guys recommend this tactic, and how much traffic do you get from it.
Well this thing you can do on customize fan pages. You have to create a page where you can import your website feed or website blog feed.
If you want to get some traffic to your blog from facebook, then you can enter it in the box 'What is on your mind?' Thanks
- post manually your content via the links app (make sure to add that app to your page if not available yet) - automate it by importing your feed via the app notes - use an app like apps.facebook.com/blognetworks for more features
I suggest that you submit your blogs feed to your facebook notes, so that your facebook wall is updated automatically, when new posts are published in your blog. Click settings - application settings - notes setting - import a blog - enter your blog feed address into the Web URL - start importing - confirm importing. After This whenever you post something in your blog it will be updated to your facebook wall automatically.
note that this will pull in the complete feed of your blog and not give you blog traffic, but traffic to your facebook notes. use a teaser feed for this instead.
usually blog readers dont want to deal with truncated feeds, which is why you should always provide a full feed for your blog. in this case though, when you have a full feel, facebook imports that fully, not leading to any traffic on your site - which is why a tool like networked blogs is better for that. if you want to stick with feed import, built an additional feed in your blog which just shows the excerpts and a link for read more. this way, your facebook import will only have that. i think i have seen wordpress plugins for excerpt feeds like that.
ADD Blog RSS Feed Reader on your page Blog RSS Feed Reader allows you to add a personal blog, corporate blog RSS Feed or any other RSS feed to your Facebook profile for your friends to read. It’s a great way to drive traffic to your blog or website.

Social RSS (formerly RSS-Connect) does it. It's a bit fiddly but I've not got RSS feed on one of my Facebook pages. Search for it on FB.
