If you are just looking for friends to add for your facebook ads - you can search add me, there are lists of people willing to be added to your profile! Otherwise I love facebook, just for my personal use. Not really looking to sell my friends things...
Basically I got most of my facebook friends by being active on groups and fan pages in my niche. Facebook has definitely been a valuable tool for driving traffic to my websites. Also my facebook fan pages have been an important means for website promotion. I believe that every self respecting business and professional needs a facebook fan page.
Surprisingly enough FaceBook can definitely be a great source of traffic for ones online business. Most people with with closed minds don't realize what a great resource it can be.
have added you as friends, my FB profile http://www.facebook.com/ajdv#!/profile.php?id=1605501523 we get to learn aesop's fable "a friend is a friend in need
My advice is to only add people on facebook once you have an existing relationship with them. I have numerous people on my facebook but they're all people that I had some relationship with (mostly in real life, but a few only on the internet) before adding them as friends. This is how Facebook is meant to be used, and I think it will work better for you if you keep it this way. Meet people by being out there on the internet and interacting in truly public settings like forums, blogs, etc. Facebook is a semi-private setting and although it can be used effectively for business purposes, if you treat it as a public site, and if you treat friend requests nonchalantly, you may offend or annoy people, or worse, get yourself labelled as a spammer. It's best to avoid falling into that trap. Good luck!
Twitter seems to accumulate more random clicks, but Facebook generates a much higher traffic quality and more sales. I believe it has to do mostly with your network. Selling to those you know and having a reputation or good standing with the network seems to be the key.
making friends on facebook and twitter will increase traffic to ones website and definitely increase the sales/profit. I think it is easy to add friends on the two when one dedicates the time. My only fear is i hope the friends are not in the same market with one as this will make conversion difficult.
I have a lot of friends from overseas in Facebook, but I'm trying not to add foreigners before talking with him or her. Why do you need this "friends"?
