Facebook Page VS Facebook Group
What is the difference and what do you recommend
That’s a good question. I’m using both groups and Fan page, After using Both of them, Fan page has better customization and interaction options. More over you can embed fan page on your blog to form a community..
Hope that will make things clear…
Two friends of mine used this method to promote their new site selling coffee-mugs. I think it is a great idea but unfortunately I am not a member of Facebook simply because everyone else is. You can also get a lot of traffic from Facebook by creating a small plugin/widget/game, not sure what you call it in Facebook.
