Creating Facebook Fan Pages for Social Marketing

Recently just for experimental reasons and of course to later to generate traffic, I was playing with the creation of Facebook fan pages.

It’s really unbelievable to see some of the most basic fan pages that have thousands upon thousands of fans. So anyway I decided to also create a few fan pages that were also quite general just as a trial to see how far they can go.

What I found is usually people who join fan pages, join because it’s something they also believe in relating to the topic or have an interest in or remembering something about the past. There are hundreds of ideas I have about fan pages, these are a list of a few that I did:

1. Who wore MC Hammer Pants in the 90’s
2. I had a bowl cut in the 90’s
3. Your first job at 13

Of course I have other fan groups that do ok in other areas such as business or for clients, but this lot was purely for fun and as a trial to see how quick they grow.

When creating fan pages I find the most important factors to generate traffic to those pages are by coming up with a catchy titles, adding regular content including videos, and photos so that users can comment on them.

You can actually promote your fan pages further by using the Facebook advertising feature to send traffic to your site that way, or of course using Internet Marketing methods.

Do not get confused between fans or groups, Facebook groups are more for businesses and charity etc. that hold regular events and discussions. Where as Fan pages are more general and everyone is usually invited to be a fan of something!

Does anyone else use fan pages for promotion? What kinds of results are you seeing?

Targeted Traffic with High Conversions

Tags: Traffic

I recently came across a site that suggests that they have very high conversions. That site is called Traffic Python. Although I am yet to see results as I just joined, the tutorials seem very promising.

The great thing about their system is that when you send referrals you get credits based on that and can use those credits for your own ads. Your ads can be targeted through the niche category you select. On top of this it definitely beats any other type of traffic exchange programs I have seen.

The way they display your ads are discreetly placed at the bottom of your sites pages and in a nice light box fade in effect which last for around 9 seconds and then fades away. It is not annoying like other ones I have seen.

You can set numerous sites of your own to display other ads on the bottom of your own sites then you refer the url’s you create. Then later once you earned credits you can use those credits to later advertise your own site at the bottom of other websites. Or you can buy credits directly to display your ads without referring at all. I will test this out and let everyone know how things pan out.

If anyone has or will use their system I would be interested to hear feedback and what you have also experienced.
