Get Your Message Out There with Facebook Connect

by · February 7, 2010

facebook-logo-copyMillions of people each day use social networking sites to share their opinions and updates with their friends.  Wouldn’t it be great if they were sharing information about your company or organization? Here’s how you can let your web site visitors connect their friends with your site on Facebook, by using Facebook Connect.

People trust their friends. We make decisions based on what we learn, and recommendations from trusted sources – particularly our friends – have a huge influence in our decision making.  While press releases and formal company announcements are still required ways of spreading your message broadly, it’s just as important that your customers and web site visitors tell your story for you – and tell it to their friends and so on.  The reality is that people are not listening (as much) to your press releases,  they are too busy listening to their friends.

Facebook Connect is a free service that will let visitors to your web site share what they do on your site with their Facebook friends. For example, if a visitor to your site leaves a comment on a page or post, on a site without Facebook, that comment can only be seen by visitors to your site. Using Facebook connect that comment gets shared with all of the commenter’s Facebook friends through their activity stream.

As you can see, building word-of-mouth awareness of your site just got a lot easier.

Turning on the feature is easy, your web master simply embeds some ready-to-use code snippets into the pages on your site where you would like to add Facebook sharing.  To learn more about getting started, head over to Facebook and learn more.

    Great idea! I like your blog too much. It feels that you have done some good research before writing this blog ;) Today, Facebook is a top most website. I agree to the matter you have posted on your blog. In my opinion, Facebook is a GOLD site. Many webmasters use it to get terrific traffic to their websites. I get near about 15K visitors every month to my websites just from Facebook. I do not wish to spam your blog in any way, I just want to add some more information. The formula I am using allows me to make 5000 friends in 7 days and 50000 fans in 30 days only. It brings a lot of traffic to my websites. So, if you are a Facebook user, then you can also use this method to get tons of visitors to your websites. You can visit my site, to test this super method.

    Very well said, thank you for the great article. It’s so true that social networking is becoming the new number one advertising platform. The danger is, people are becoming AWARE of that at the same time as it is developing, so we are becoming desensitized to the masses of marketing and information that is pumped into our faces every time we click a link.
