Facebook is one of the most popular social networking site with over 370 million members. Not only is it a great tool to connect with friends, family, colleagues and more across the world, but it's also a great tool to increase traffic to your blog. But, you have to work hard and use Facebook wisely to get the needed massive traffic. To use Facebook as a tool to drive traffic to your blog, you'll need to make a lot of Facebook friends.
Tips to increase blog traffic with Facebook.
* Look For Friends
Use the search tool to find people on Facebook. You can search by name, school, and more. You don't need to know a person before you request to be their friend on Facebook. You can either get a decline to your request or the best that can happen is that they will become a part of your Facebook network! You can also find people to friend by looking through the friends of people you're already friends with and looking through Facebook groups and pages to find people with similar interests to your own. When you find people who match your criteria and might be interested in your blog content, go ahead and send them a friend request! But, don’t send a lot of requests. It will be detected as spamming, if a lot of requests are not accepted.
* Your Profile Should Be Strategic
Consider your goals for your Facebook profile. If you want to use it as a tool to establish yourself as an expert in your field and drive traffic to your blog, then you need to make sure your profile includes the information to support your expertise. Be careful about the types of photos, videos, and personal interests you include in your profile though.
*Join Groups or Create Your Own Group
You can create a group for any topic or reason on Facebook and invite people to join it. Search for groups related to your blog's topic, and then join those groups and get active in the conversations going on in those groups. If you can't find just the right Facebook group to support your efforts to drive traffic to your blog, create one! You can send out group invitations to all of your Facebook friends.Joining Facebook groups is one of the best ways to get huge amount of traffic from Facebook.Join in open groups with high number of members. It will be better if group’s niche and your blog’s niche are same. Share your blog links with your fan page link there. But, don’t share link in same group excessively. Admin of that group can block you. Don’t share your own links only. Share things which are valuable and interesting from other sites and add your fan page links there using ‘@’. For example, you can say, “For more interesting articles, visit @your fan page name.” Also, don’t share links continuously in more than 3-4 group at a time. Otherwise, Facebook will block your account as a spammer. If you want to share link in 6 groups, then share 3 now and share next 3 after 30-60 minutes.
*Create a Facebook Page For Your Blog and Become a Fan of Other Facebook Pages
The Facebook page feature is another great way to network with the Facebook audience. You can become a fan of existing Facebook pages (just search for ones related to your blog and then join the conversation), and you can create your own. Facebook pages can only be created by official representatives for a company, brand or celebrity. Your blog could be considered a brand, so go ahead and create a Facebook page for your blog and remember this steps; -your blog’s name and fan page’s name must be same.
-Give profile picture and cover photo which represent your blog.
-Give a short description about your blog in description box.
-Add your blog’s address in info and select appropriate category for your page.
-Then be sure to feed your blog's content into your Facebook page status updates .
*Invite friends and share your fan page
After you have created a fan page, invite your all friends to like your page and keep connected with it. It is the main thing of Facebook traffic. If someone likes your page, he or she will get a feed when you will share your posts in your page. And when he or she will like your post, his or her friends will also get a feed. So, there is high chance that his or her friends will also like your posts and fan page. So, try to get Likes for your page as much as possible. You can send your friends messages or say them to share it with their friends. But, don’t be crazy to do it. Otherwise it will be detected as spamming.
*Like and comment on same type of fan pages
Like fan pages related to your blog's topic. Comment there regularly. When you comment on a page, enter to that page using your fan page’s user name. Thus people will know about your page. But, don’t share your links there. Otherwise, admin of that page may block you or it may be detected as spamming. But, sometimes, you may share your fan page’s link or user name cleverly
. Also, like those pages posts. Don’t ignore any messages or wall posts if your fans/friends send you.
* Link Your Other Social Accounts to Your Facebook Profile and Page
There are many tools available to help you build a great Facebook profile and/or page that can drive traffic directly and indirectly to your blog. Try to link your blog's RSS feed to your status updates, link your Twitter feed, Slide-share content, and so on to your Facebook profile or page. This way, your updates appear in your status stream for all of your friends to see. In some cases, a new tab is added to your Facebook profile or page, so content from some other services (such as Slide-share) is always easy to find.And also,include your Facebook link in your blog's sidebar, in your email signature, and anywhere else you can think of to encourage more people to find you and send you a Facebook friend request.
* Be Active and Reciprocate
You don't just create your Facebook page or group and then disappear. In order for your Facebook efforts to drive traffic to your blog, you need to actively update your status, share great content, join conversations, and engage with other people. By establishing relationships with your Facebook friends, you can indirectly grow your blog's traffic, too. And don't just spend all of your Facebook time updating your own profile and sharing your own content. Instead, spend the majority of your Facebook time commenting on other people's statuses , sharing other people's great content, responding to direct messages, and so on.
*Place a Facebook Ad
Facebook ads are fairly inexpensive, can be targeted, and can raise awareness of your blog, your Facebook page, or anything else you want to advertise.
At last I want to say, it needs a lot of time and hard work to get good result. So, Keep trying.
