    There are so many people who is selling FB Likes to some one, with genuine user identity. Is this idea really worth to improve traffic or sales.

    It is worth it if it is really targeted.

    There are thresholds with Facebook that require a certain amount of "LIKES". For example, adding a username. The cheapest place I have found "LIKES" is Fiverr. You can get $500 for $5.

    Are the accounts "liking" your page just fake accounts? Or are they actually inhabited by people?

    Yes if lot of users genuinely like your post means you are having a really interesting article. I myself, usually check the "Like" count and published date before reading any article.

    I don't think so.. better if you take the time to build the "like" yourself.. much more worth it for the long run and your page.

    Ehh kinda. The fans you get aren't really quality fans and won't be that active. Very low chance of them turning into customers.

    But it does give you massive social proof, which builds trust with new customers.

    It's a waste of money plus the one that likes your fan page is not really your friends. They are only force to like your page but may not actively participate on it afterward.

    I think the likes just add more credibility to you website. It won't generate a lot of additional traffic by itself, if any, but will tell your genuine visitors that this is a reliable website, which will translate into more time spent on it.
    That is basically it. If you try to build an authority website, 2-3k likes is a nice touch.

    Buying Facebook fans holds one element other paid traffic sources can never deliver. Facebook fans grow organically and bring more targeted fans themselves.

    The larger your fanpage, the more your fans will invite their own friends to your fanpage.

    This ‘snowball effect’ of targeted consumers is awe inspiring. From there you can market directly to them within Facebook for free.

    This social marketing leverage is extremely valuable and very inexpensive. Many PPC campaigns can cost you $3.50 per each click and more to even try and get a prospective customer.

    Buying Facebook fans will increase value of your company, fanpage, your products in record time.
    Buying 1000 or more fans usually kickstarts the chain-reaction effect.
    What’s the chain-reaction effect? When a person likes your page, it will be posted on their profile and sometimes in their friends' Top news feed. When this happens, their friends will check out your Facebook page and will “like” it as well.
    This could go on for quite a long time as you can imagine.

    The real value of 1000 facebook fans is actually 3,600.00 - 90,000.00 USD per year, as Facebook experts are estimating:

    Good stuff prem1. Have actually not though about the snowball effect before.
    The trick here is to know for sure if the fans are 100% genuine people.
    A trusted and reliable provider is needed.
    What this 3,600-90,000 value is based on?

    Thank you.

    To my knowledge, Facebook doesn't allow machines or animals to type in details
    and pictures for fake facebook accounts.

    Do you have any actual examples of "fake" facebook accounts ?!?

    There are few articles from social media experts, I will send you by PM because I am not allowed to post links yet

    Why do we need to buy likes? If the content is good, people will like.
