Everyday millions of people visit the Facebook website. Facebook is a

relatively new and evolving social media platform which means new

traffic strategies are continually emerging to take advantage of the huge

amount of traffic this website attracts every day.

Despite the huge number of people who login to their Facebook accounts

every day, thousands of Facebook users complain about not being able to

'tap into' this continuous stream of internet traffic. However, the good

news is there are many ways to increase the number of shares and likes

your posts get so that you can increase the number of Facebook friends

you have and your Facebook following.

Include info about your site on your profile

Trust plays a huge role in many people’s online success. A large number

of people won’t interact with others online until they know a little bit

more about who they are dealing with. Many Facebook users leave out

some of the most vital information from their Facebook profile. Including

this vital information lets potential friends and followers find out more

about you, your business and the products or service that you have to

offer people outside of Facebook.

It’s also a great way to build trust with these people, even before the

receive any of your updates and posts. Adding information about your

website is quick and easy to do but is something that is often overlooked.

To add information about your website, follow these steps:

Step 1: Log in to Facebook

Step 2: Click on your profile name which appears at the top of your

profile home page.

Step 3: Click the ‘About’ menu link.

Step 4: Scroll down this page and click the ‘Edit’ button in the Contact

Information area.

Step 5: The ‘Contact Information’ window appears. Enter your website

details and link in the ‘Website’ box.

Step 6: Click ‘Save’ to update your profile with your website details and

website link.

Make your profile as interesting as possible

First impressions last. This is especially true when people go online.

Visitors to a web page will decide in seconds whether or not they want to

stay on a particular web page. Your profile is often a gateway to the rest

of your content so it needs to be as appealing and interesting as possible.

Simple ways to make your Facebook profile more interesting and

appealing to visitors:

1. Add an engaging cover which is related to you or your business.

To do this click on your profile name which appears at the top of your

Facebook profile home page. Click the ‘Add a cover’ button in the

cover area of your profile. Select your cover photo from your computer

by clicking on the ‘Upload Photo’ dropdown option.

2. Take time to create a complete profile with all of your relevant

details including contact details.

photo of yourself. To add a profile photo click on your profile name

that appears at the top of your Facebook profile home page. Click the

‘Add Profile Picture’. Select your profile picture from your computer by

clicking on the ‘Upload Photo’ dropdown option.

4. Vary your content. Don't keep posting in the same format. Post

photos, videos, Facebook notes, quotes and other interesting content.

After a while you will notice what type of content gets shared and like

the most.

5. Make your profile more engaging. For example you could have a

short video or images that introduce your profile to new visitors who

may want to find out more about you and the content you provide.

Make use of Facebook Apps

Thousands of free and paid apps are available on Facebook. You can use

existing apps or create your own. Facebook apps make Facebook a much

more flexible and versatile social media platform for businesses. You can

Internet traffic is the lifeblood of online businesses. Facebook

applications help increase the amount of traffic your profile gets, the
