5 Ways On How To Get Free Traffic To Your Facebook Fan Pages

It's no secret that Facebook Fan Pages are one of the preferred methods of generating traffic to offers and products and especially brands. For novice marketers who are not purchasing traffic to Facebook Fan Pages, I wanted to put a creative "how to" guide on how to get free traffic to your Facebook Fan Pages.


Here are 5 ways to generate free traffic to Facebook Fan Pages:


1. Twitter Customization - If you are incorporating Twitter along with your Facebook Fan Page marketing promotions you can easily customize the background and even add the url to your fanpage in your "Bio" box. Remember: Twitter Bio's are limited to 160 characters so keep it short and sweet.


2. Ask Your Twitter Followers To "Like" Your Page - Simple and easy. Even though you might have your Twitter background and Twitter Bio customized to include your fanpage url, some people literally have to be "hit in the face with a sledgehammer" to get your point across. The fact is, if they are following you, it's for a reason (usually, unless they are just "serial" followers") in which case, those creepo's are near worthless anyways so who cares. The ones who do care "should" be more than happy to oblige you by liking your fanpage and of course it shows up on their profile and hopefully this method pays off to where there friends see their "likes" and will join in on all the goodness you have to offer.


3. Suggest Friends And Lure "Your" Friends Into Suggesting Friends - Listen it's a dog-eat-dog world out there in Online advertising and if you're a tightwad who is looking for all the free traffic you can get your hands on then it's time to go to work here. Use the "suggest to friends" feature but use it wisely. You might piss some people off. In your closest circle of friends and family, ask them to suggest it to friends as well. This should get your Facebook Fan Page a kickstart with likes.


4. Tag Your Own Page - When posting an update on someone's Wall, tag your site using the @ sign creating a hyperlink back to your page. This works well when responding to 'friend requests' or posting an invitation to visit your page. Again, use this wisely so you don't piss the whole world off.


5. Email Signature Is A Must - With every email you send out whether it be in your personal or autoresponders you should include a link to your fanpage. Each email is a chance to get a new like. You would be surprised how well this works. You can even include a small snippet of text in your email signature but again, use this wisely and don't be overly promotional. If you want a good tip for personal emails, use WiseStamp for Firefox.


Facebook has nearly 800 million users and growing by the day. There are a ton of ways to generate free traffic to fanpages so stay tuned for the next post as I show you 5 more.
