Facebook Pages
What are Facebook pages? quite simply they are pages on facebook that display content for personal purposes, business, hobbies, clubs, organizations and the like. Facebook pages work very similar to facebook groups however facebook groups have members and facebook pages have fans both are the same really it’s just facebooks way of utilizing a feature better on their website by splitting the two to deliver bigger scope to their memberbase.
A facebook page can be a companies holding page, a page of information on that company with a direct link to the companies website which will give their company a broader reach than just having a website setup in fact google will like your company website even more if you have a facebook page with a link to your companies website from there.
I suppose you could class facebook pages as a yellow pages although I have not seen a search facility on the facebook pages as of yet unless i’m being blind.
You can do all sorts of things with your facebook page like see stats on whos visiting you and from where and also add an rss feed which means fans of your page can see realtime updates without visiting your page.
At the moment facebook pages are farily new and not many people are aware of them in time I think they will increase in populartiy as they grow. I have a few facebook pages for various sites that I run they have done me well so far delivering good traffic and and every webmaster knows good traffic is what every webmaster wants! I also as a plan of action always make a facebook page for any new website I make wether it be for personal use or for a company.
