Facebook advertising?

[Ghillie]

Does anybody use facebook as a promotional tool?

I am in the process of making a page for my business and wonder if any tips or tricks are out there.

I have recently set up a Facebook "page" for our company. (you still have to register a profile as those are the rules.

It's great for link building, and you can create either a profile badge or photo badge for facebook to post elsewhere. (website, blogs, merchant circle, etc.)

Another thing is to get sharing programs for twitter, digg, de.lic.ious, reddit
and propeller so each time you post or blog, you can share them.

(more links!)

It's more than reciprocal link building. 3 and 4 way links are the new norm.

I've been hearing more and more about facebook and twitter being good for business (even tree biz), but, I can't seem to wrap my hands around how it works. I only see my wife sending pics of our trip to the beach to her friends. I think of people in Hollywood talking about what restaurant they are at when twittering?

A brief summary would be much aprreciated

I guess if you don't know how to market your biz, you will grasp at social sites. Sad, I would never do that crap!

That's funny. That's the same way I feel about people who who feel they have to post something. No matter how negative and unconstructive it is.

 

[jefflovstrom]

So we laugh together.

With Facebook you can really target a market. Age, gender etc. All those questions in your "personal profile" are really targeting for advertisers.

Yes, you don't have to, they do it for you.

I use linkedin quite extensively lately and it is paying off for the time spent. The best part about it is using recommendations and introductions through current connections, they all add up to some very nice contacts if you do it right.

The best part about linkedin is that not only is it cheap/free depending on what you sign up for, but they have tons and tons of free videos on their site explaining how to get the most use out of it.

Im having very good results from our FB page , and we just started it.

 

[jefflovstrom]

We are on Facebook, but not for advertising, I guess more of a fan-based, freind-based reason. Ya'll wanna be a freind- "Urban Tree Care".

Like what kind of clients or products?

Bubblegum?

Deodorant?

All in all, we use it informally. Its nothing that I would put a Facebook icon on my site for.

If people found my site first, they already know where to follow me from. The website itself.

But the Facebook page can't really do harm. Even if its just 1/100 of a percent of influence. Better a slight increase than a slight decrease as long as the increase is positive.

The bubblegum or deodorant were just representative of products that virtually anybody would use.

I figured the almost any Facebook person would drink some beverage, or use paper towel, or toothpaste.

Odds are that products of such broad use would fare rather well on Facebook.

I've been noticing that every year, the website search results and Google Adwords are getting more flooded. So more and more, the incremental bits and fragments are worth picking up, no matter what size.
