7 Ways To Get Loads Of Traffic From Facebook

There are a bunch of ways to get traffic to your sites, blogs and links. Here are my top ones.

Status updates:

Update your status regularly, and posts some links to your new posts, web pages or new links occasionally.  Your niche posts should be in a 1:3 ratio to your “normal” status updates. Make sure there is a picture on the page you are linking to, because then you can select the picture to be shown in your status update as well.  People will see your status updates on their homepage of Facebook when they look through the news and you will generate some nice click to your links this way.  (TIP:  Don't spam them)

Post links in groups:

Join a lot of popular groups in your niche and make useful posts on the wall (with your links) and in the discussion boards (insert your links).  Posts will stay on some discussion boards for quite a while, and lots of people will see your posts with your links and this will generate good traffic to your sites.

Create your own groups:

And this is where the POWER of Facebook marketing comes in.  Create your own groups in your niche and invite all your friends.  Post the link of your groups in all the other related groups on facebook regularly to get people to join your group.  Mail your facebook group link to your list, put it in your forum signatures, blog posts etc. to get a good following.  You could have hundreds of members in days, and thousands in a few weeks if you are lucky.

These groups will be like your own personal lists that you have and you should manage them just like you would your email autoresponder lists.  You can also mass message everyone in your group.  Send them useful information with lots of freebies to get them to trust you and open the messages every time.  Then slowly start messaging them with amazing offers which links to your sites or affiliate links.

Also remember to put in all your webpage links in your group description, because this will count as valuable back links.  Put up photos and videos with links and also post links to your offers in your group.  People who join your group for years to come, will see them and click on them.

You can build huge lists with groups like these and message them at will with your offers.  This will bring in a huge amount of free targeted traffic to your sites, if you do it right.

Facebook Fan pages

This is another method that is becoming more popular by the day.  It is very similar to Facebook groups and you can create a Facebook fan page just like you do a group, but it has some distinct differences.

Fan pages are used to promote people, celebrities, groups of people, businesses & more. They are created to increase promotion, attract supporters, and generally increase awareness & online presence and of course interaction with customers and potential customers. The 'Marketing' of the person or group being promoted through a Fan page happens in a variety of ways.

1. When a person 'likes' a fan page, that connection is posted on their wall and then shown in the Home Page feed for others to see. Then friends of that person click on the page just connected with…and so the number of followers grows.

2. You do not need to be a Facebook user to view a Fan Page. A person may follow a link from somewhere eg. a website and look you up on Facebook from anywhere in the world.

3. These pages are not private pages…so anyone can access the information on a particular page even if they haven't 'liked' it as such. (If you aren't sure what all this 'liking' is its Facebook's new way of 'becoming a fan' of a page. Where a person once became a 'fan' they now become a 'liker').

4. Its easy to post a link to a fan page across other Facebook pages…putting the pages name in front of different groups of people.
A page is easier to manage and has less limitations & more options to customise & increase functionality than a group. A page is run by 'admins' who can be changed when required, and allows those who've been added as an admin to make changes and post on the wall of the page & generally manage the page and its happenings.

The Facebook marketplace

Go to applications and search for Marketplace and join this application.  You can now post for free.  Give away free reports, and advertise your business opportunities or whatever you like.  These advertisements can be targeted to geo location and stay for a long time so it can generate incoming traffic for quite a while if you keep on posting ads every few days.  Focus on giving away branded eBooks, because this will generate viral traffic.

Facebook Videos and Photos

This is a very good way to get your name out there and to get opt ins to your list.  Posts loads of videos of yourself introducing your business and tag all your friends in them. Put a niche keyword rich description of your video or photo too.   Make sure to give a link to your opt in page.  People will see they are tagged in a video or photo and view it.  They will see your link and click on it, and will get sent right to your opt in page.  This is a very effective tactic that not many marketers are using.

Create events:

People love joining events and search events to see what is going on the Facebook world.  Create an event of a product or squeeze page launch or a webinar.  People will join and see your links.

If you use all these tactics you will get great traffic from Facebook and with groups etc. you can build quality targeted viral traffic for FREE this way.

 

 

Update:

Another way to drive free Facebook traffic to your blog or website is by adding a Facebook 'Like' button to it.

Facebook has released a tool that generates the iframe code you can use to add the button to your website(s).

If you are using WordPress you can simply install this plugin that will do all the work for you.
