from my experience as i have facebook page having 10+ plus like but my site is still in second page of serp. there is no improvement in my ranking of site so if you want to increase traffic go with seo
You can create Fan page in Facebook about your websites beside it participation in Groups and summiting wall post also may help you.
Yeah, you need a website/fan page for SEO purposes. Your personal account will not do the trick because of the restriction to sign in to gain access to whatever your are doing or posting there.
Create a fan page at Facebook and daily update your thematic post and share it your Facebook friends.
You can share here you site every posts or create a fan page of your site . This is the easy way to promote your site at facebook.
There are other better and more effective things you can be doing with your time in regards to SEO. Facebook is low on the list of priorities for me.
1. Create a FB page 2. On your site, put FB logo with some title like LIKE/JOIN us on FB 3. Post regular updates & your products/services to FB page 4. Respond to people comments, pictures & videos on FB 5. Encourage people to LIKE your FB page so you can have better traffic via regular updates
Create a fan page and promote it using blogs. Post useful blogs and ask them to like your page if they like your post. This is a good source of traffic.
Thanks, jhardy2008 for the comprehensive response. There are a few really great points that you make. It is about developing something of value that can be used to interact with people on Facebook. When you have something that is complete with pictures, company information, etc. people will use it as a resource. Keep in mind, it's also important to have things offline that allow people to know about your Facebook page. You can interact with your audience from both angles.
from what I heard, you can have pagerank for your fanpage. So, how do we increase the PR in it. Is thr an algorithm or formula? will it be like normal SEO?
I ever read about SEO on facebook.maybe at first you have to have alot of friends at facebook,always update your status to make people read your status to your link
Facebook has no-follow links. What FB can do for you, is to enhance followers and and your product publicity.
Jhardy2008, that is a very nice and comprehensive write up, you could publish this to article directories!
the thing is, it works only on fanpage and not normal profile. Can I submit my Facebook fanpage like how I submit blogs?
A Facebook page is like any other page. If it has good PageRank then links from it can help your ranking. I'm doing a little experiment at the moment that combines SEO, Facebook likes and and attempt at viral marketing. I'll report back on the results in a few weeks.

There are so many uses of facebook for SEO. Many are mentioned by jhardy2008. Along with this it is also used for market place in which you can place your products for niche market.
