Where’d my Facebook Page go?

“It was here a minute ago!  Now when I go there it’s gone!”

Do you have a Facebook Business Page?

Has this happened to you?  Take a deep breath…

Ok, let’s review the Facebook Terms of Service for Pages:

Date of Last Revision: April 22, 2010

Facebook Pages Terms

1.   Pages are special profiles that may only be used to promote a business or other commercial, political, or charitable organization or endeavor (including non-profit organizations, political campaigns, bands, and celebrities).

2. You may only administer a Facebook Page if you are an authorized representative of the subject of the Page.

3. Pages can only post content and information under the “everyone” setting.

4. When you publish content or information to your Page we have no obligation to distribute your content or information to users.

5. If you use a Fan Box or Like widget off of our site to promote your Page, others will be able to copy and place the widget elsewhere.

6. You may not place a Fan Box or Like widget in an advertisement.

7. If you collect user information on your Page, Section 9 of this Statement also applies to you.

8. If you display advertising on your Page, Section 11 of this Statement also applies to you.

9. You may not establish terms beyond those set forth in this Statement to govern the posting of content by users on a Page you administer, except you may disclose they types of content you will remove from your Page and grounds for which you may ban a user from accessing the Page.

10. You will restrict access to your Page in order to comply with all applicable laws.  For example, if your Page includes content not suitable for minors, you will use your Page to block minors from accessing your Page.

10 simple rules.  Are you good with all those?  Good! Still breathing?  Even better!

Now let’s go get your page back…

Simply go to http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=page_disabled and fill out the form.  Three simple questions.

If Facebook deleted your page in error – it’ll be returned back to you.  Simple, eh?

Has this happened to you?  What if it did?

    Facebook has so many rules and they are confusing. I swear the people who write these rules, write them in a way to completely confuse you. So annoying!
