Custom WordPress Websites that Rock!
Ok, so maybe he just caught me on a cranky day. Maybe he didn't deserve being called out like this. Then again, he did come to my Page. He did LIKE my Page. And he did then post a REFERRAL Link on it (heck he even LIKE'd his own spam post!) In case you didn't know - a Referral Link …
Posting to your Facebook Page for the purpose of engagement is an art. Encouraging engagement is a good thing, I’ll go so far to say it’s a necessity. Why? EdgeRank. It’s the algorithm Facebook uses to determine which posts of yours (if any) show in any given news feed. EdgeRank is made up …
I'm off at a local brokerage today holding a 'hands on' workshop for local agents. It's an "Advanced Facebook: Timeline for Pages" workshop. Today we'll be covering everything there is to know about creating, maintaining, and maximizing a Facebook Page in the new Timeline era. It may be a …
The question comes up time to time. There’s actually three different ways to ad someone as an Admin. By Name: To do this they need to already be a friend of yours. By Email: To do this you’ll need to know what email address they use to sign in to Facebook with. By Like: you can click …
This one was certainly headed for last weeks "Things that make me sad" post. There's nothing like sending a private message to 230+ of your 'friends'. Facebook even gave him a warning stating that messaging all your friends was spamming. Normally I'd blur the details out, you'll see later why …
So Facebook has converted over all your Pages to the Timeline style. Hopefully you were prepared. Just in case, here’s what you should have already done. Update your Profile Image – It’s now a square 125 x 125px image. You’ll need to upload a 180px square for it though. Read: Cover …
Just a reminder, on March 30th all your Pages will be switched over to Timeline style. To start with, that means you should already have a cover photo up. If you have graphic capabilities, that image will ultimately be 851 x 351px. I’ve been finding that if I create an image exactly 851 …
I know you have one Page with only a few LIKE’s. I know we would all like to have more people interacting on our Page. There are wonderful ways to make that happen and I share them on this blog. And I know Facebook dangled that carrot in front of you, encouraging you to send a message to those …
I read a report that 1 in 4 brands have switched over to the new Timeline for Pages. As of right now 8 MILLION Pages have switched. You can switch yours now or you can wait till Facebook forces the switch on March 30th and start playing catch up. It’s called Staying Ahead of the Curve and yeah …
Now that you've switched your page over to the new Timeline style you can no longer set the “Default Landing Tab”. In case you didn’t know, you could determine which tab or app anyone who had not yet liked your Page saw first. That popular feature was discontinued by Facebook but that doesn’t mean …
Yeah, sorry about that. Here’s the thing. So very often we tend to set and forget. I fight it constantly myself. When was the last time you looked at your website as a “visitor”? How about as a visitor using a different browser? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve added a plugin only to find …
With the new Timeline for Pages comes change. I want to specifically talk about the Apps. Remember how you used to have all those custom Apps down the left side column of your Page? They are gone with the new Timeline – well not gone but less visible. Instead, Facebook has allowed us Page …
