How do you get heaps of traffic from Facebook for free?

13 replies
I have heard a lot of people here saying that they get a lot of traffic from Facebook for free.

I don't get it. Are you talking about Facebook pages, Facebook groups, posting in your news feed, sending direct messages, or are you just spamming all over the place?

I get a lot more traffic from Twitter, as I have thousands of followers, so how can Facebook get you thousands of views a day for free?

    Just like twitter, FaceBook fan page. Add people related to your niche site, start by adding friends and getting there friends and also get people related to your niche. When you add content from your main site post a summary of it on the fan page as well. you can also tweet your fanpage once or twice to get some people. Then you have 2 sources of traffic.

        But how do you get thousands of fans in the first place?

        We have a fb fan page that gets content from our blog. We only have 42 fans. Whats the best way to get more "likes?"

        I'm thinking about running some promotions and giveaways, but that costs money (like everything else) so where are the free likes to be had?

        Also, it seems like these days FB is pretty dead - are people getting tired of it? or just me??

          Giveaways are a great way to get likes, but they don't have to cost money. I give away an email marketing eBook which I wrote myself which people can only get in exchange for liking my page because it's only available to fans. Create your fan only freebie then use the free FB Static HTML App to make it happen:

      After you get 1000's of people to like it you then periodically post your website up in the status and then you will see great conversions.

      But make sure you also post about the fanpage topic as well, so you don't get your status update privileges removed by facebook.

      If you want more information on this just pm me. I currently am doing this same method.
      Although its a way to get some traffic, that traffic wont be targeted, so it wont last long at all.

    I've found that once you get a some 'friends' or 'page likes' to keep your page active with posts, but don't sound like you are spamming them.

    You just have to follow people related to niche of your website to get traffic and you can share your website product links to get quick traffic.

    I do not use facebook that much. But if you can be creative and create viral stuff, you can do well with facebook.

    Once something goes viral, or what we like to call GO NUTS, then you can see some good traffic, and good results.

    Just have to be a little crazy, and create i think. Especially with what is going on in the economy, you can use that to your advantage.

    Facebook is the most admired social networking site. In addition to keeping in touch with your friends it can be and is very much used for business. You can use it to promote your products and services, to acquire clients and to get traffic to your site. It offers more possibilities. Your profile speaks volumes about you. Give an adequate amount of background information of yours and make the profile public because this way even people, who don't know you, when they encounter your profile, they might become interested in you and become a supporter of yours. Invite friends, social contacts, partners to join as your supporter. Don't be pushy and don't spam because this is not the way to convince people to join your network. Applications like Market Place, widget are very useful.

    I wouldn't focus too hard on getting facebook traffic, its more of a byproduct of search engine traffic, affiliate traffic, and email list traffic.

    Focus more on producing more and more blog posts and articles for your site, building links, and creating products with high paying affiliate programs. The more free content pages you add to your site, the more keywords you will rank for, and the more search traffic you will get.

    we made a static html based "like us page" that mentions the promotions/giveaways. However, how do we get our page in front of people in the first place without spamming your friendslist?

    Maybe there's something i'm missing here, but what's the vehicle that pushes the fanpage out into fb land in the first place?

    advertising?
    spam your friends list
    self promote the fan page to your friends?

    thx

      I'm new at fb as well but I know some stuff. Hopefully people will list more strategies. One way you can get your page in front of people is by posting on the walls of popular niche related fan pages. It's better to @tag yourself then it is to leave links. Only because fb can put a 15 day block on posting to walls for spamming. You can leave links but only do like 3-5 a day.
