Facebook Advertisement Budget and Pricing - Facebook Marketing Secrets - Chapter 13

Before you start spending money on Facebook, it’s important to know how much you’re willing to spend and how much your advertising/marketing budget will allow. When in doubt, start small! Create a highly targeted ad and monitor it for results. When you’ve fine-tuned it for maximum results, then you can add another advertisement to your campaign or increase your budget.

I always suggest when you start an ad just start with a 50$ for each 3 different ads, so you test those 3 ads and the one who converts more stuck with it.

Once you’ve created your advertisement and chosen your target audience demographics you’ll be asked to set your budget and pricing. Here are the decisions you’ll be asked to make:

Pricing Type, there are two different pricing types on Facebook. They include:

Why Social Bookmarking - Who uses social bookmarking


 What social bookmarking is...

There are a group of web sites on the internet that are allowing people to save links ie. create bookmarks to web pages that they want to remember and/or share with others. These links or bookmarks are saved on a social bookmarking site and are usually viewable to the public. Social bookmarking sites sort of resemble web site directories.  The actual "social bookmarks" are basically links on a social networking site that have been added into an appropriate category by including the URL, descriptions, titles and keywords that apply to the bookmarked web site.

These bookmarks or links on the social bookmarking sites can then also be tagged or voted on by others which then provides some indication of its value, popularity or give an indication of a developing trend at that social networking site. Voting and Tagging of bookmarks are done by independent account users at each social bookmarking site. Social bookmarking links will tend to accumulate more tags over time if the social bookmarking site receives a fair amount of traffic. The more tags and votes that a bookmarked site receives, the higher the ranking of that bookmark within that particular category of the social bookmark site.

Facebook Advertising System - Facebook Marketing Secrets - Chapter 11

On November 6, 2006, Facebook launched their advertising program. “For the last hundred years media has been pushed out to people, but now marketers are going to be a part of the conversation. And they’re going to do this by using the social graph in the same way our users do,” Zuckerberg announced.

While Facebook ads work much the same as other PPC or Pay Per Click ads do, there are a few significant differences:

Interact With Your Fans

Want to have highly active fans in your Facebook page? You need to know how to make your Fans Active for any Update you do. You will need to make your fans so hot for your news or update. latterly you really should invest your time on this, because the number of followers isn’t as important as how your fans interact with you. Whether it’s posting followup comments or reaching out to fans that have asked valuable questions or have even posted criticism, it’s important that you build the best relationship with your fans.

Ask Questions
Facebook Pages present an amazing opportunity to learn about your existing Fans or customers. People love to talk about themselves so ask them questions that are also related to your company. For example, Baskin-Ronnins happened to ask about the favorite flavor in one of their updates and they got hundreds of comments answering the question. Additionally you can simply ask general questions such as “what are going in next weekend?”

Facebook Optimizing your page SEO “Search Engine Optimization” - Facebook Marketing Secrets - Chapter 6

If you don’t have any idea about SEO, simply the main goal of search engine optimization is to increase the amount of traffic going to any given site by search engines. Now search engines (and mostly Google) serve as the starting point of a user’s journey around the web.

What’s great about Facebook’s public profiles is that Facebook already has a big amount of search engine
juice. Google alone has indexed over 430 million pages for Facebook.

1. Get Your URL
URLs are a large part or search engine optimization. Search engines use as much information as possible to determine the relevance of a particular page for a given search. For example my page has the following URL: http://www.facebook.com/rallapalli.kishore which makes it easier to access. The short URL is definitely effective at getting Google “juice”. Go here to get your custom URL http://www.facebook.com/username but make sure that you have got more than 25 fans.

2. Select A Good Title For Your Landing Page
The name of your Facebook is so important. On Facebook Pages there are few things you can use to boost your search engine rankings and page titles is one of those things. Many SEO experts will tell you that spending a lot of time on the title of a website isn’t important as much as the pages title inside that website. So spend enough time to configure the time of you Landing Page.

Featured likes Area and Images Tab - Facebook Marketing Secrets - Chapter 3

Featured likes area and images Tab

1. Images Tab


2. Featured Likes Area


Many page owners never give any interest to these sections. In fact, this is a big mistake if you have products or websites. Due to these sections can let people know about your other products or websites and get a testimonials about them. Also you can use the Images Tab to upload you employees pictures.

Landing page / custom Tab

When a new fan visits your public profile, it’s extremely useful to explain to them what the public profile is about and why they should become a fan. The goal of the landing page is to immediately convert the visitor into a new fan and then engage the fan after they’ve joined. I’ve seen companies use contests for engaging the user but the vast majority of Facebook Pages have no separate landing page. The result is that the public profiles have a lower conversion of new visitors into fans. There is one exception for public profiles that have no landing page but high conversion: companies with a high brand affinity. Such as Adidas or Coca-Cola can convert visitors without having a landing page because they have such a strong brand.

Landing page: Is where people land when they go to your page.
Reveal tab: Is when you hide something from your visitors asking them to click the like button to get it. and when they become a fan they get whatever you provide.
