Learn How to Boost Your Traffic with Facebook
Posted by krosenblatt in Blog Marketing, SEO, Traffic Tuesday, 11 May 2010 12:00 53 Comments
Facebook is a huge market. More than 400 million people and businesses have accounts. It’s quickly become the online marketplace to promote yourself and your company.
You can draw attention to your website and existing online presence with a Facebook profile. You can link to articles you’ve written in your updates, connect with new friends and fans, and expand your audience.
Facebook pages also appear on search engine results pages, which means it’s one more page that can help you get a higher place on the search engine results page.
Blogs are also a great traffic generator and SEO asset. So when combined with Facebook, it doubles your exposure.
Bringing your blog to Facebook doesn’t mean re-writing anything, it just takes a few simple steps.
Step 1
First, log into Facebook. Once you’re on your profile page, click on the Account tab, and scroll down and click on Applications Settings.
Now you’ll be on a page that shows what applications you regularly use, and what applications are available. Find the Notes application and click on it.
Step 2
On the Notes page, you’ll see any Notes that your friends or fans have posted, or a Welcome to Notes message under My Notes. If you’re looking at My Friend’s Notes, click on the My Notes link, to get the the My Notes page. Once you’re on this page, you’ll see a “Notes Settings” box on the right, where you will find a hyperlink to import a blog. Go ahead and click on the link.
Step 3
You’ll be on the Import a Blog screen now, which will instruct you to enter your blog’s URL in the web URL box. This has to be your blog, and no one else’s, or you face penalties and your account being disable.
Once you’ve cut and pasted your URL into the box, click on the “Start Importing” button, and you’re set!
Now, anytime you update your blog, your Facebook will show the update. And anytime you have an update on your Facebook Profile, it shows up in your personal news feed, and the feeds of your fans.
It’s a great way to publicize your blog and your business!
I have a facebook account and everything you had post about faceboook on how can driffe traffic to your website is true. A other great thing i know bring a lot of traffic on facebook is when you join a social group that you interested and participate on it and networks with others that’s also another great way to bring traffic to your business
Great tip. Thank you for always sharing information with such high value.
Hey thanks a ton!:) It’s gem’s like that, that make all the difference to us Marketers. Connecting the pieces together and connecting with others!:)
Thanks for the tip. Time-saving automation is always a plus!
Cool!
I just learned something new about Facebook. Thank you for the great information. I’ll be posting my blog in the Notes Section following the above instructions as soon as it is up and running.
Thank you per teach me the procedding to use “Notes” in my FB account. Receive warm regards, Gabriel
It seems that your comments are useful to increase traffic via Facebook to my website http://www.swedsnus.com
Is there a field to put multiple blog URLs?
I attended a webinar from either PPC Classroom or Affiliate Classroom on the subject of setting up your Facebook page and have watched it a few times since then as it showed what to do step by step. The one aspect I did not have luck with was connecting the posts made to the Facebook page back to Twitter. The RSS to Facebook works fine. I added back my RSS to Twitter.
The hardest part of this set up was choosing a picture for the page.
This is indeed a smart one, more greese to your elbows and keep up the good work.
Thank you for this tip! I added my blog into my notes and look forward to seeing the impact.

Nice one Anik and the Lurn Team. I certainly learned something new today! Keep up the great posts. Rock on!
great tip. i’ve been using facebook to promote my web sites, but without a lot of response.
looking forward to trying this method and seeing positive results
I will definitely try this method. It sounds like a good and different way to promote my web sites on Facebook. I use it to promote my blog and newsletter articles from my “Woof Report”.
Thanks for the tip, woof, woof
Thank you for your instruction on this. I did not know how to use the Notes thing till now. Looking forward to learning more. I can see the potential of FB but I just don’t know much about optimizing the whole thing to actually get people interested in my blog.
Great information.
I’ve been on Facebook for quite some time and not realized this feature.
I will sure make a not of this
Many thanks for the great information.
This is an excellent tip. Thank you for sharing this with us. Since I do not yet have my own product and/or blog, I would be interested in learning more about effectively doing Facebook Ads for affiliate products.
I was thinking about it, but didn’t know how to. Now I know. Thanks
Don’t have a FB account yet. Do have a couple of blogs but they need work. But thanks for the info.
Great tip! Thanks!
I’ve just followed the steps as outlined in the post and it worked perfectly…
Cheers

Dear Anik, Thank You for the Information and your continued help. All the best to you and your’s
Hello all, I enjoyed all the info given in your comments above, but the one thing I am trying to learn is how to set up a proper facebook fan page and getting lots of targeted fans. Hey Anik, can you make a post about this?
Thanks
Thank you for the easy instructions of how to connect my blog to my website. I am slowly working on my IMade 500 site and I will apply it as soon as it is up and running. I am aiming for this weekend getting it done at last!
Great post Anik. Now I have another way to market in facebook.
Thanks,
Jake
Great tip! Thanks for the vaulable info!
I know its necessary to spread your content all over the web as much as possible. But doing it manually is cumbersome. Automation is always welcome. And this is one of those strategies.
Thanks for this information.
I found this information very helpful its not always easy starting internet marketing and its hard to know who to trust as people just want to sell you everything and anything to make money. I was very lost before I found myself a mentor who has been a great help its better to learn from someone who knows what there doing instead of trying to figure out everything yourself.
Wow. Thanks. This is cool. You do learn something new everyday.
This is an excellent tip to generate some additional traffic. Thank You.
Hi
Thanks very much for the tips.
I realized that it will not accept website without RSS feed.
Is it so?
Thanks again for the information.
You always Rock!

Hii Amit,
I’m from India what a great idea u r sharing with us .Information that u shared is increadible.Thanks a lot
Great advice. Thanks. I did this step & I can not see how it will not work.
The problem I have with the post is I don’t know how general publicizing of your website can get your targetted visitors. These digital products are for very specific niches.
great tip! I have been using facebook to promote my web site, but not using this method.
i look forward to seeing the positive results. thanks
Thanks for sharing…it sounds great!
Thanks for this tip.
Thanks for sharing this great tip! I have been using facebook. and will use yr method to promote my business.
The in formation you publish is always so extremely useful. I especially appreciate that it’s even at a newbie level of understanding.
Could you please comment whether it’s better to have people signup on your Facebook page, or your Facebook Fan page?? Thanks
Hey Anik,
Thank you for the tip.
I have question, do I need to enter the short url or the exact name of url?
Thanks again, and I’ll appreciate your answer.
Loved the tip. Going to sign up for Facebook and import my weight loss blog!
