Facebook Fan Page Setup

Does your business have a Fan Page?



Many are late to the party already as Facebook has launched massive changes starting 6 months ago last March. The birth of the Facebook like button is changing the way search works on the internet. Social votes are now the link juice for companies that want to become more visible on the internet.

A facebook fan page is different than a personal profile. It is actually against the Facebook terms of service for a business to pose as a personal profile. Unknown to most, facebook can actually allow business to build a following and then confiscate their fans and page and turn it into a community page while locking out the owner. Another facebook policy is for only one user to have one account. Multiple personal accounts are against the FB terms of service also.

With all of the new developments, contact Webmad.ca to help set up your online business profile.

Facebook vs Google

Facebook vs Google



The recent scuffles between Facebook and Google are accelerating their respective tug for internet users. Facebook has just surpassed any other site on the web including Google for time spent on the site.

Google had previously introduced Google Wave which was to have been the combining of web and social, but it did not have enough time or backing to grow and was abruptly cancelled.

Although Google Buzz continues to strive to capture more social media attention, Facebook is the 100 pound gorilla in the room. With Microsoft hastily investing huge in Facebook, the new Facebook-Bing-Yahoo combination is trying to muster up all of their power to create viable competition for Google.

Only time will tell but one thing is certain, Facebook is no longer just for teens chatting about what to wear, but is turning into a cornerstone for business presense.
