Pondering facebook and landing pages...

By
Education & Training

Dear readers,

I still haven't found a good, practical use for my company facebook page - Sam White Properties.? Being in a student market (College Station is home of Texas A&M University) I've had good luck with facebook ads...good click-through and conversion. But, I'm sending them to specific landing pages on my domain, bypassing my facebook page. I can tell, its lonely.

Currently, I'm using Sam White Properties on facebook as a place to post notes, links or photos. Most of the traffic to the page comes from my Monthly Market Report page on my primary domain, as well as through sub-domain facebook.SamWhiteRealty.com.

My activerain blog automatically posts to the page as a note, so as long as I'm blogging, I'm adding content. I also like the way it will post a graphic or photo beside the link in that section.

I try to add seven items per week, but that doesn't always happen. As an avid, personal facebook user I'll keep it updated, but I just haven't really found a purpose for it in all of the noise.

I did an experiment with targeted advertisements driving visitors to landing pages last weekend. I used four types of landing pages and three of them were bombs, while one worked very well. Now I have to figure out why.

Blue skies,

Sam White

Sam are you using their classified ads?  I found that yesterday,  You can post listings on there too!  But I'm just learning the facebook regimen.

It sounds like you are driving traffic from your site to a facebook site and then trying to bring it back.

Facebook ads are working well for me in the student market. Although the older demographic is growing rapidly on facebook, I haven't been able to get them to click. The kids click.

I am considering framing the facebook page on my own domain to keep visitors local.

This is truly a daily experiment.

Have a great Thursday,

Sam

I dont know that Facebook lets you frame their site. They might get pretty angry about that.
