I few days before decided to experiment with Facebook regarding site promotion. Accordingly, i referred Google for methods to use Facebook. I registered with Facebook for an account. Then i used some methods to promote my site and its articles. After a effort for a week, i started receiving good amount of traffic(almost more than 60 hits at start) from Facebook and thought of sharing with you these methods which helped me a lot. How to increase site visitors by Facebook 1. Create Facebook Profile: If you don’t have a Facebook profile, register/signup for Facebook at www.facebook.com . Fill out your profile and make it look that you consider Facebook as social network and not any ad network. It is over here that many bloggers fail. Dont include your site link in your description section. I have observed that many bloggers include links in their about me description which sends out a bad impression for your profile visitors. So be careful while filling out your profile. You will ask me then how will profile visitors know about your site. Friends, you can add your site links in your contact information. Thus, you can attract visitors to your site. 2. Add site feed to Facebook: I wasn’t receiving much traffic unless i added my site feed to Facebook profile. If you aren’t knowing how to add your site feed, just click on Profile tab in upper navigation bar. Now, you will see “Write note†just around “Add Videoâ€. Now click on downward arrow near “Write noteâ€. Now click on import. Now, you can add your site feed to Facebook. You can even add other account profiles. I recommend adding your digg and stumbleupon links over here. This helped me a lot. Adding feed to Facebook helps others know about your articles which really helps in driving traffic. 3. Create a Facebook Group: After you think you are well established with Facebook, now its time to create a group to represent your site readership on Facebook. You can name the group as the site name. But, remember to make it Global i.e. anyone on Facebook can join this group. Why? Because, this “anyone†new member(not your site reader,not knowing your site) will be new most awaited visitor for you from Facebook group. This group member becomes you site loyal reader only because your group is Global. Got it ! 4. Add Facebook link to site: Now, since you are now equipped with Facebook account, add this Facebook account link to your site, just as i have added it in left sidebar, so that your site visitors can add you as friend. Remember, adding as friend, helps a lot in building loyal readership. Alongwith adding you as friend, they can even join your site group helping you further achieve your goal. These are the 4 ways which helped me in increasing my site traffic. There may be some other ways. I accept, i am somewhat new to this. I may be unaware of any popular method used to attract traffic from Facebook. I am working hard to find out if any other way to get you the best targetted traffic from Facebook. I will be writing more on Facebook in my future articles. If any of you are having an idea to attract visitors from Facebook, not mentioned above, please share it in comments section. Enjoy Blogging…..
