www.SearchEngineWatch.com Most businesses recognize the huge marketing power of Facebook, but are unsure of how to use the platform. Should they set up a profile, a group, a fan page ... or a combination of these?

Facebook Fan Pages 101 provides a good overview of fan pages from Ron Jones at Search Engine Watch. One of the most important features is that "external search engines index Facebook fan pages."

Setting up your fan page is easy. Just go to Facebook Pages and you'll find a step-by-step guide as well as tips to prepare and build your fan base.

Already have a fan page? Share a link in the comments. We'll help you increase your fans, and your page just might inspire another!

I'm still not a fan of the fan pages. I'd rather do it on my personal page.

Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise, perfect example how a social media, which ActiveRain is, can teach, encourage and sometimes put a smile a your face. Ones fan page on FB should do the same. Please visit me on Facebook.com/vazquezrealestate Have not done my timeline cover photo for the my fan page. One of my goals for this week. Any advice, feedback would be welcomed. Have a fabulous productive week. Mildred Vazquez Rochester, New York

Thank you John for this information and to the others that have posted great comments as well. I am in the beginning stages of my Facebook fan page. When I say beginning, my wonderful sister is the only one so far that has "liked" and added comments. Here is my fan page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bernadine_Eberle-Realtor/371838096179046. Also, I would really like some suggestions on content, etc.

Great article on Facebook!

Also KW agents are the only ones right now
with mobile friendly MLS links with Wolfnet
via the "Wolfnet Genius Suite".

Facebook has already had over 200 million
app uploads and most users are on Smart Phones
so using mobile friendly links in the pages helps
convert traffic into leads easier.

Always try to use mobile friendly search links
in your social media when possible

KW agents have an awesome free site with
Market Leader that is good for pay per click
but it is the Wolfnet / KW sites that have
the mobile friendly IDX search links that
are ideal for Facebook pages.

There is nothing better than setting up pages
that get traffic that are free with no hosting:-)!

Have a great week!

Great information and will pass it on to our admins. I recently created a Page for our office, so we could stop using a personal account - still converting friends over.

Great post. I am just now learning how to better use Facebook for business, and I really think it will be more important than a regular website over the next few years...though that can change at a moment's notice with some new platform or technology that surpasses FB.
