After making a fan page don’t leave the respective fields blank in the about section. Your ‘about’ or information section must be optimized for viewers. The appropriate fields should be filled with keyword rich contents. Find the best keywords for your introduction. Add good, sensible and catchy description.

More over, Make sure you grab a custom user name for your Fan page, as it will help you to preserve your brand on Facebook. Before you start using your Fan page for traffic, make sure you make it ready for promotion by filling out all necessary details. If you are a business site, enter all details like Address, City, Zip to ensure visibility in local searches.

3. Make a custom Landing tab

When somebody visits your Facebook page they come to your wall. Imagine a page having welcome messages with a decorative piece of work! This special Welcome tab can also offer the promotion of your current works. If this kind of welcome tabs or custom tabs are available in the page then surely you will get more visitors which in terms increase your blogs traffic.

5. Make a short video for promotion

Well, videos are great for promoting your page. Now, Facebook page let you add a video as your Facebook cover.  You can create a video up to 12 seconds and use it to showcase your brand and let users know about your website. Keep the video short and attractive. Briefly describe your page’s effectiveness.

The recommended dimension is: 820 x 462 pixels

Here are a few tools you can use to create a cover video for your Facebook page:

6. Try to post links in updates

Actually, people will find your page’s contents in their news feed. Most of the people are reluctant to pay visit to any particular pages because there are a lot of pages they have already liked. So try to publish stories with compelling headlines along with excerpts and certainly your site’s links. Give good heading to your updates.

I recommend you to keep a good combination of text and images. I have seen images getting more user engagement on Fan pages.

7. Build your network

In Facebook fan pages your major capital is the network. Invite your friends, partners, and acquaintances to join your page. Have patience this will give you a good fan following and drag traffic to your blog. But remember, don’t be pushy! Don’t spam and always try to add people who have interests similar to yours.

8. Be active and keep your page running

Keep posting on your blog and update them on your page. Remain active. Try to make an interactive page. Facebook gives you enough flexibility to arrange your pages accordingly so use these opportunities.

Takeaway: Driving Traffic via Facebook Pages

Just creating a Fan page doesn’t ensure that you will be able to drive traffic from Fan pages. You need to keep all Social media Etiquettes and need to work on Engagement on your fan page. Facebook is a Social site and you need to keep that in your mind to go Viral. There are apps like Postplanner which will let you auto publish blog post on Facebook.

You can also take help of Facebook advertising to get targeted fans or run a contest to grow your fans, once you get targeted followers on Fan page, driving traffic from Facebook page would be easier.

    google, facebook etc. all are maths but they expect a human behavior. so there is no point to do things mechanical and the best way to do things is not keeping an intention to promote but a genuine effort to spread your thoughts, products, info, services etc. Many people just post links, expecting people to click on facebook, it is not in that way, sometimes other interesting links, comments and interactions attract people to like the page.
