“Likes” are to Facebook Fan Pages what SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is to web pages.

To ensure maximum success for your Facebook Fan Page, you need to provide an incentive for visitors to click the “Like” button on your page.

Once they do that, your posts to your Fan Page wall appear in their news feed. And when they “like” one of your posts, it appears (with a link to your Fan Page or website) in all of THEIR friend’s new feeds. That’s the linchpin of social marketing.

But how do you incentivize visitors to click that “Like” button? Make them an offer that makes it worth their while. A coupon to use in your retail location or online store, or information of a valuable nature.

And the smart money the uses that incentive to build their email list at the same time.

The Gold is in the List

Bob Stovall of Orange Cat Productions has announced that the new website for 1st Choice Auction of Liberty, KY has been launched.

1st Choice Auction needed a website that could be updated easily with information about their upcoming auctions. They also needed a simple way to upload and publish individual photos and a photo gallery for the auctions.

Again, we built 1stChoiceAuction.com on the WordPress Blogging Platform to provide a simple way for the client to keep the website updated. The auctions change frequently and having the ability to keep the site up-to-date was an important consideration.

The website also required a custom template (theme) that used the 1st Choice logo and colors. This was accomplished in an efficient and very cost-effective manner.

Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URLs were enabled in order to provide meaningful page URLs throughout the site – better for search engines to index and easier for visitors to remember.

This site required special care to be taken when converting the site from the Joomla Content Management System (CMS) to WordPress to preserve existing URLs and the Search Engine ranking tha went with them.

Automated backup of vital data is performed automatically. SEO-enhancement plugins and automatic Google sitemapping are included.

Hosting and maintenance for 1stChoiceAuction.com is provided by Orange Cat.

Click the link to visit the 1st Choice Auction website.
