Integrating Your Blog and Facebook

Using social networks can be a great source of traffic and generating a group of people around your blog site. Many people have profiles on Facebook, and people are quick to put their URL in their profile. This is good, but it is difficult to expand beyond your network of friends. You should keep your “friends” to the people you actually know or have some type of relationship with. This is where Facebook pages come in. These pages were created for authors, businesses, and celebrities etc. to build groups of people around whatever they are promoting. You can only have a limited number of friends on Facebook, so there is no way to send email to all your friends at one time. Once you have created a page on Facebook, people can then become your “fan” or “supporter”. You do not have to accept people and they can’t see your individual profile. On a page you can add pictures, video, have a discussion board and add any applications to your page. You can send email updates to all your “fans”. Also there is no chance of messages going to a “junk mail” inbox; your messages are assured of 100 percent deliverability.
