Hi onlinecashdigest — thanks for the comment. If you can get a good custom url (facebook.com/insertkeywordhere) for your fan page, it’s even easier to get that fan page ranking organically with just a bit of linkbuilding — even linkbuilding via articles and press releases. Add in a few high pagerank links and you’ll rank easily, which can add a nice increase to your overall traffic.

On my actual facebook page, I have 2 affiliate banners (through share a sale) and on my site, I have adsense and affiliate links (girly-drinks.com/store is almost all affiliate links). I also have an email list. I spend some money via Facebook advertising whenever I’m trying to promote a specific product to a specific group, but I’ll direct that traffic to my fan page first so that I can continue marketing to them for a while down the road.

I have two other fan pages that have great custom urls and are really niche — I actually started off by buying traffic via Facebook and directing them to the fan page, then once I got 25 fans I made the page a custom url. I only submit affiliate links to that page — each update (daily) is a “product of the day” link that goes to an affiliate link. It’s a specific product but there’s lots to choose from for that product. I’ve almost used my Facebook “like page” as an email list for that product. It’s worked well so far.

Hey,Fantastic post, although i’m more intrigued in what will take place out of the google vs facebook social network war. I have not discovered much news on it recently, which most likely indicates that its not that far off, but i’ve a feeling its likely to result in many large changes to social networks. In my opinion, i would rather facebook came out of the war still in the lead for the reason that google’s already big enough, additionally they currently hold excessive data on absolutely everyone. I don’t feel that both have the opportunity to exist though, either google’s social network will control or absolutely fail. What does anybody else feel?

Hi Kirsti, interesting read thanks…
My thoughts: I feel the important thing to remember when embarking on a social media marketing campaign is to decide beforehand what your measures of success are. Also, ROI in terms of direct sales isn’t necessarily a good benchmark when marketing on social networks. More often you have to make clients understand that it is engagement that matters. Listen to your audience, keep them engaged with quality content or some other form of value and you will turn them into paying customers or indeed retain them as such.

Great point. I still think the website as the “hub” and the social networking sites as the “spokes” is a great model to make sure you control AND spread your message.

Social media is definitely the new SEO; website design on your pages is still important tho, too. It is vital to ensure that the visitors you drive to your URL via social networking land on a page that is optimized and urges them to make a purchase.
