What Is A Fan Page Without A Website?

 

The dramatic growth of Facebook’s popularity has once again taken centre stage. This extraordinary phenomenon has undeniably managed to find its niche and influenced the lives of many people. It has made a big impact on the corporate market and emerged not only as Google’s big competitor in internet marketing, but also as a good, or perhaps, a better place to promote your business.

 

 

Facebook Ads and Pages for instance have become a necessity for most companies that have a large percentage of its market who are socially active in Facebook. While Facebook Fan Pages on the other hand gives you the capacity to custom-made your own fan page in the same way as customizing your website to include video blogs and slideshows, promotional campaigns and sustained client-supplier interaction, while at the same time advertising your products and services online.

 

 

But given the fact that most people are connected on Facebook and with all the valuable attributes it can provide for online advertising then why bother building a website at all?

 

 

Having a Facebook Fan Page without a Website

 

Categorically speaking, there are significant reasons why a business should set a limit on their online marketing through Facebook.

 

· A big percentage of the consumer market has turned to the internet for their purchase preferences, establishing your presence online through Facebook is undeniably a big advantage for your business;

 

· Having a Facebook Fan Page may be adequate enough to address your company’s promotional needs;

 

· Acquiring your own website can be more costly than organizing your company’s fan pages with Facebook;

 

· Your ads can easily go viral as fans can recommend your company’s fan page to their friends;

 

· Your advertising is secured through your Facebook Fan Pages;

 

· You can continually link with your clients;

 

· You can post news, promote new products and special offers more effectively than that of conventional marketing techniques such as the under rated e-mail marketing;

 

· You can cut on the investments that you have to spend just to keep your ranking in Google.

 

 

In short, your ROI will grow considerably with the potential market growth that Facebook brings straight to your table, what with less operational expenditures, a simpler yet faster access to your targeted market, opening the windows to more business opportunities.

 

 

And so, with all these promising probabilities, do you really think it is high time you sack your web developer? Not likely, this is only one side of the story.

 

 

The Importance of Sustaining Your Own Website

 

For any situation, especially when you have to make a big decision, it is always helpful to weigh the pros and cons. As opposed to simply having a Facebook Fan Page rather than having your own website, here are a few good points to ponder.

 

 

· Owning your own website gives you the upper hand, you have full authority over your account. While Facebook has a set of rules that every member should abide by, and the moment you break those rules your account will be cut off. Now what do you think would that do to your business?

 

· A lot of people have complained about being subjected to Google’s control over web traffic. If you quit search traffic for Facebook then you may get yourself into proverbial;

 

· How can you be certain that Facebook’s dominance will last longer than its predecessors like AOL, Yahoo, Compuserve, MySpace, and lately, Friendster?

 

· Facebook Fan Pages are programmed in FBML, which is a combination of Facebook’s own functions, HTML and CSS. And adding your fan pages require a certain level of skills in this field that you’ll probably need professional help. With your own website, especially if you’re working with WordPress, you can add your own content material without having to worry about FBML codes;

 

· You have no control over these adverts;

 

· Having your own website lets you set any webpage as landing page for visitors on your website. But with Facebook Fan Pages, your chances of getting a deal may significantly take the back seat since any prospective client will be landing on your wall;

 

· Many of your ad pages will be hidden from view if you exceeded the maximum number (10) of pages and tabs that Facebook has set.

 

 

On a good note, Facebook is coming up with a more enhanced FBML, with iframes called XFBML which will likely provide more functionality not currently supported by Facebook’s servers. But if you don’t have a professional background on programming then you’ll have to hire professional help to set up your fan page.

 

 

What Should I Do?

With Facebook Fan Pages, you can interact with people in a comfortable, safe and secure environment. People can add their thoughts or feedbacks on your company, and on your products and services. Sharing information quickly and easily with friends opens a wider perspective for other potential customers. So, arguably, having a Facebook Fan Page for your business is a plus.

 

 

But having your own website as well is crucial for your business. Your website is your own, meaning the contents in your website is under your control giving you more flexibility. You can basically add content as much as you want and make it exceptionally easy for people to find your web pages. And if you’re using WordPress, you can add your content all on your own, without having to wait for your programmer or developer to do the job. So if Facebook is overrun by yet another social media marketing entity, you still have your website to boot.

 

 

In other words, get the best of both worlds to maximize online marketing for your business.

 

As a fan, do you tend to be more subjective or objective?

Can you set your bias aside and look at all sides of an issue, even if the issue is with a team you dislike?

Or do you tend to only see it one way?

I know that we're all more than likely a combination of both, but if you had to choose one (sibjective or objective) that you lean more towards, which one would it be?

I myself have learned over the years that you cant have only one point of view.

Here is one recent argument that I had

Rememeber last year when the Yankees played the Blue Jays and A-Rod yelled "I got It!" at a pop fly that the SS had already fielded and he thought that A-Rod was the Third Baseman so let the ball drop. Well everyone who knows a thing about baseball knows that it is more mental than physical. A-Rod had gotten into th SS's head and made him drop the ball because he wanted to win the SS should have looked to see who had said that before assuming that he should have moved out of the way.

Now from a Toronto fan's point of view I would say that A-Rod is a cheater because he should have never yelled that.

Having two points of view is the key to success in anything and I think that more people should try it.

Great Question Greta!
