Unlike the rest of Facebook, fan pages are indexed on Google, which helps your SEO strategy. There is also no limit to how many fans you can have. Personal profiles limit to 5,000 the number of friends you can have.<\/p>\n<p>According to the white paper, \u201c2009 Channel Preference,\u201d by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exacttarget.com\/\">www.exacttarget.com<\/a>, an important point is that \u201cbecoming a \u2018fan\u2019 is not the same as granting permission.\u201d The white paper goes on to say, \u201cIf you can avoid treating your fans as members of yet another direct marketing list, you will find success in this new and evolving channel of social media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Driving traffic from your fan page to your site<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are at least five ways a company can use its fan page to drive traffic to the company site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Coupon campaigns<\/strong>. As reported in &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/weplayintraffic.com\/category\/social-media\/\">We Play in Traffic<\/a>,&#8221; you can link coupon campaigns to your seasonal marketing, as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bestbuy\">Best Buy<\/a> did with this <a href=\"http:\/\/images.bestbuy.com\/BestBuy_US\/en_US\/images\/cpns\/2009\/11\/facebookESEcoupon\/facebookESEcoupon.html?ref=70&amp;loc=0300\">coupon<\/a> over the Christmas shopping season.<\/p>\n<p>You can also run a Facebook-only campaign for users who become fans of your page. This works to build your site. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/McAfee\">McAfee<\/a> is running an offer for a six-month complimentary subscription to McAfee\u00ae Internet Security. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/McAfee#\/McAfee?v=app_216371893645\">This page<\/a> sends you to its site to sign up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Engage your fans.<\/strong> Answer fan questions, resolve their problems, and send them to your site\u2019s FAQ when necessary. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kohls\">Kohl\u2019s Facebook fan<\/a> page is a good example of a responsive communications effort. Also, notice how Kohl\u2019s gets so much positive press via fans\u2019 compliments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Invite to special events<\/strong>. Invite your fans to upcoming events, special in-store and online sales, even fundraising events. Send them to your site to sign up for news on the upcoming event, and get their opt-in permission for your event newsletter.\u00a0 Both Kohl\u2019s and Starbucks (see below) do it well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Polls and contests<\/strong>. Invite your fans to interact through a poll or contest, directing them to your site. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Starbucks#\/Starbucks?v=app_170501478295\">Starbucks<\/a> invites fans to buy a product through the site or enter the contest by posting on its wall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Listen<\/strong>. Social media is for connecting and building affinity groups. Above all, listen to your fans, and participate in the conversation as a human being.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Use the side bar widgets<\/strong> to invite your fans to communicate in the best way for them: e-mail, text message, visiting your corporate site, inviting them to put a banner of support on their site. The nonprofit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/worldwildlifefund#\/worldwildlifefund?v=wall\">World Wildlife Fund<\/a> handles all these processes well.<\/p>\n<p>One more thing: Stay abreast of Facebook news, including Fan Page rankings, at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allfacebook.com\/\">Allfacebook.com<\/a>, billed as \u201cthe unofficial Facebook resource.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Journalist, author and coach <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bethbarany.com\/\">Beth Barany <\/a>works with aspiring authors.
