Facebook Promoted posts
-
I have been promoting posts on our Facebook page with some good results. Am I aable to determine the Day /time the post is promoted? As ideally we want to be promoting the post when people are awake? Thanks for your help

Hardley111,
Mike Roberts mentioned a section when your friends are online. Check to see if they go hand in hand with your findings as to when people are online and click.
I am not sure, maybe others can fill in as to setup when promoted posts are run from FB's side. You do have the option to manually pause each post. If your assumption is valid, you can post when your audience is online and pause the promoted post when you feel satisfied with the reach. Otherwise it will continue for a day. Testing is a key here
Hope this helps

Promoting a post technically boosts it for an entire day now (used to be 3 days). So you'll reach your fans with a Sponsored post whenever they happen to log on in that 24 hour period and look at their Newsfeed. Same goes for if you're using the targeting feature to reach the friends of fans or if you're using one of the other targeting features likes location, age, gender, etc.
If you want a better idea of what time your fans are online, the updated Facebook Insights for a page now shows a graph of what times of day your page's fans tend to be online. If you have the new Page Insights, click into insights then go to Posts and there will be a section called "When Your Fans Are Online".

Hi Vadim sorry I should have provided a bit more info. We promoted an existing post and had a budget of $30 . The post consited of clicking a link to our site to win some beauty products, With the goal being to increase our data base as people need to sign up when the enter the competition
What i found is that , with Facebook staggering the boost, we spent $25 in one go and got 73 clicks. When they spent the remaining budget of $5 we got 52 clicks which seems proportionality high in comparison. (we targeted non fans who are demographically similar to our fans, as most of our fans are currently on the DB)
I was wondering why there was such a difference across the boost and put it down to people not being logged in as they are either asleep or at work at the time the post was 'boosted',. Hence Id like to time prescisely when i promote a post and was wondering if anyone knows how to do this?

Are you able to give a few pointers on your strategy for using promoted posts? This is something I am interested in, but never really got into it.

https://bufferapp.com/app analyzes the best time to post a post after analyzing most active time of your followers. You auto schedule a post and then once its live you promote the post for an extra boost.
Hope this helps!

What is the value of getting a Facebook like?
Is requesting people to like your facebook page of any real value for a small business? Is it better to encourage people to write a comment/testimonial about your product or service on their own status with a link to your website and/or Facebook page? I have a lot of clients getting more and more into the concept of social marketing so I am now wondering how best to guide them in the right direction with regards to Facebook specifically

Facebook Open Graph Tags: Thoughts on OG:Type
I am wondering how Facebook uses the data enclosed in OG Type tags? Facebook wants you to stick to the types listed though it's fairly limited in scope. Our pages are in the accommodation space but they are not HOTELS. In this instance would you list as COMPANY or go with HOTELS. Curious to hear your thoughts - thanks!

How to get a link on Twitter box in Huffington Post?
Hey guys, got a question about the Huffington Post and its Twitter widget - see screenshot attached HuffPo seems to be aggregating links somehow under the "Top links on this topic" heading within the Twitter widget. At first I thought this was an official Twitter wdget; http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets However, I can't find it on Twitter's site and I'm starting to think it's a custom widget possibly developed by HuffPo themselves. My question is how do I get my site to rank under their "Top links"? Is it feeding on Twitter presence or is it feeding from Google News or through something else? Many thanks in advance for any light shed on this topic Edit: Link to Huffington Post page example from screenshot Screen%252520shot%2525202011-10-24%252520at%25252017.26.54.png

Why is FailBlog allowed to make 2,000 dollars a day posting OTHER PEOPLE's videos?
So if FailBlog makes about 2 grand a day in YouTube revenue for posting other people's videos, then why can't someone just make their own FailBlog? In other words, someone could simply download all of FailBlog's videos, and remove their logo, and publish the videos on youtube as their own. Afterall, FailBlog doesn't own the videos anyway. Neither YouTube nor FailBlog seems keen on vetting videos - to see the rightful owner. Yet they are happy to both profit from videos of ambiguous ownership. Or, even, unambigous ownership. e.g. its obvious failblog doesnt own this media http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNQLmHKlmiE
