Facebook Pages

What is a facebook page?

A Facebook Page, sometimes referred to as a "Fan Page," is a single page that you can create off of the Facebook.com domain for anything you want...a particular subject you like: a celebrity, a business profile, whatever your heart desires (as long as you have the legal rights to do so). Think of it as a one-page meeting place, with information, links, a message forum box, RSS and anything else you want. Best yet, anyone can create them. All you need is a Facebook account! Here is the Solve Web Design facebook page.

Facebook Pages are important for a few reasons. They've been showing up high in search engine positions. Also, you can get unlimited "fans" for your Facebook Page, unlike the limit of 5,000 friends that your regular Facebook Profile is capped at. They're visible to search engines and visitors, too. It's almost like a social networking mailing list that you can reach out to at any time!

Facebook Pages get a lot of search engine respect. Even "big business" takes them as seriously as they do with their own corporate websites .Facebook helps you connect and share with the people. You can target your customers and anyone else that is interested in your product. By simply adding a status, you notify the followers and the world.
