For strategical ideas on how to leverage Facebook strength and connection power, read the popular post by Tamar Weinberg:  How to Use Facebook for Business and Marketing

As mentioned in the post, many major corporations hire application specialists to custom-make their presence  on FaceBook.  I would like to introduce a few easy and free tools provided by FaceBook or 3rd party developers.  It won’t take long to implement and it’ll get you on the right track at a low cost.

Forward your contents to FaceBook

Automatically publish your WordPress post on your personal Facebook Profile or on your Facebook page

Reconnect with the networks you’ve built over the years.  You may send frequent emails or newsletters to these connections.  But as a friend on Facebook, your recent posts and activities are automatically published on their Profile Wall.  If they are interested, you’ll turn an old connection into a warm lead.

Add a Facebook LIKE button onto your own web page

Just add a Facebook LIKE button onto your homepage or pages in your website.  Your page’s thumbnails and links will show up on your visitor’s Profile Wall.  His/her FaceBook friends will also be prompted by the action.  Your website visitors therefore become a distribution channel through their Facebook user activities.

Login users with their existing accounts from Facebook

(the same feature applies for accounts from Twitter, Google, Yahoo!, LinkedIn,…)

People are tired of remembering their usernames and passwords on dozens of websites.   If your website asks for user sign-up and login, your visitor will likely not proceed to the registration process.   If they are Facebook, Gmail, or Yahoo mail users, this will be big relief.  Example: CNN.com allows for registration and login through an existing Facebook account.

My comments on CNN.com shows on my Profile Wall.  All my Facebook friends see it.

Benefits:

* Build rich user profiles by enabling your visitors to import their profile data from their social network or email accounts.
* Create new accounts without registering and maintaining another new username and password.
* Display verified identity and user icon of a preferred network on blog comments.

This feature is not just limited to Facebook. On one of the DCS posts, I added comments on the DCS site through two other account names.

FaceBook Fan Club box on your web pages

Show your Fan Club and stream their latest activities from FaceBook back to your web pages

The DCS’s fan club block is shown on every blog page on the DCS site.

Another example for ABLS Youth Group

Introduction of HuaYenUSA: a new series of slideshow which introduce overall HuaYenUSA by 6 sets of images.

for both Homepage and inside introduction, both are managed by slideshow admin tool, developed by DCS. For each slide image, editor may add title, caption, link destination, and a image.

This revision is initiated by SEO expectation to this custom marketing site. With all kinds of editing tool empowers the site editor on content updating jobs. We looking forward the improvement of its organic ranking in next few month.

Pages and Groups both have their own individual functions, but one shines over the other for several different reasons (I’m talking about Pages, if you hadn’t guessed!)

* Pages Get Internal Promotion on Facebook.com
Facebook Page updates will show up on your fans’ page feed – Facebook Group updates will not. I’ve found Facebook Pages to get more internal promotion on Facebook than groups do. Page additions appear on all fans’ live feeds (unless a fan hides them). They are promoted on the right hand “suggestion” column when your friends join them – Facebook Groups don’t get this treatment.
* Pages Have More Options for Customization
Groups are just that – strictly groups. It’s basically a mini message board, with a single area where you can post a message that shows at the top of the group. Pages, however, are fully customizable – show or hide whatever you want, or add applications or modules to your Page. This really makes it become more of a mini website than anything else.
* The Survival of a Facebook Group
Facebook Groups require constant interaction to survive, much like a message board. Like Pages, they have many of the same options, except the focus of a Group is the community; whereas the focus of a Page is whatever you post to it. Groups are more difficult to maintain, because they tend to get “buried” without constant activity.
* Search Engine Visibility
When it comes to getting visibility off of Facebook: Pages can be seen by non-Facebook users, and can be spidered by search engines. Facebook Groups cannot! It’s also important to mention that Facebook Pages can have a “vanity URL” (Facebook.com/MyPage), where as Groups do not have this feature.
* Anonymity
The creator of a group is forever immortalized on the group itself, with your linked Facebook avatar, stating that you are the group’s admin. There is no way to remove this, which is bad news for those who wish to remain anonymous. Pages, on the other hand, are completely anonymous – nobody will know that you own it, unless you make a public statement!

It’s quite straight forward. That is the strategy to help all of us become more competitive in this global economic climate.

The 1st version is a successful launch.  In terms of Google organic searching, it rapidly replace a local institution tried to cloak their school name.  In about one month after its full launching, the school site has presented a full spectrum of contents to market the University on the internet.  One of the key point is that we offered web page publishing tool to school staffs and faculty members.  The organic growing of contents and structure come to nature.

DCS developed  the online publishing tool for school staffs to maintain the website in these applications:

– School Degree / Department / Major
– Course List and detail description under each major
– Faculty Member List
– Extension program course list, Seminar List, Certification List
– News announcement
– Latest upcoming events roll up on homepage
Because of high volume of search query and click-through from Google search, Google adjusted its ranking and optimized the site links in about 3 weeks after the school site launched.

By this version, Nov 2008, school is introducing a series extension (Continuing Eduction Program) to promote and deliver the short-term and quickly changed Continuing Education programs.  It’s the focus on the phase II projects.
