Sending a global facebook message
-
Hi,
This is really a social media question, hoping you can help.
We have 2 facebook sites that we are going to delete. One is a group and one is a page. Here they are:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/NLP-Institute-of-California/101752159860852?ref=ts
and
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=90698249783
How do we send a message to all people in both groups all at once letting them know of our new facebook page that we're making?
We're also concerned that people will get 2 emails that are subscribed to both sites to be deleted..
Thanks!

Bob,
Since you don't have a lot of "likes" plus the page has been inactive for so long, I'm not sure you're going to get much traction by emailing everyone. I also don't think it will hurt anything. I know... real helpful right? If you do send an email, I would suggest making sure that you call out the name of the group or page specifically so if they do get two emails, they see it's because they belong to both.
As Frank mentions, it's also good to add info about moving the pages right on the page itself. That might get people's attention more than anything.
Hope this helps!

I think this is a great idea in general. Let people know in several different ways that you're moving the page. Adding a message to the page, plus a status update will let your "like"ers know in the app.

These facebook accounts are very inactive, last posts were like last May. Does your answer still apply?

My advice would be not to delete both pages immediately to put a count down warning on each page, with regular updates, for example, THIS PAGE WILL NO LONGER BE ACTIVE IN 10 DAYS please come over to our new page to continue receiving information. then you leave like a final this page is closed post again redirecting to the new pages, and finally i would delete after a couple of weeks... I know it's extra work, but people don't always read their e-mails especially those who receive thousands a day, you will find all your active members will get the notice, and that's really the majority that matters, right?

Improve facebook page interaction
https://www.facebook.com/TheHiddenTriforce I have this page which used to get great feedback and interaction. As we have grown the interaction has dropped. Facebook has implemented their ridiculous policy of not sending content out as they should which is part of the issue. Anyways, I am looking for general feedback as to how I can boost this page's engagement. I am not going to pay to boost my posts to my already existing fans. So please provide other options.

Where do the Facebook star ratings come from?
I have a client whose FB page has a 5 star rating (apparently from 5 reviews) but I have no clue from where they are aggregated? I tried Google-ing for answers with no luck! Any idea? This is the page I am referring to... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Partners-in-Womens-Health-of-Jupiter-LLC/310303442400699?bookmark_t=page

How do you moderate facebook comments?
I added facebook comments to many pages on my site. Does anyone know how you can moderate (or even see) what comments have been left? If I go to facebook.com/insights for my website it tells me that I have had 15 comments this month. But, if I go to "popular pages" it shows me 1 page. If I click on that page I can see that one comment. But where are the other 14? I really like the idea that when people leave a facebook comment on my page it goes on their friends' news streams and then my site gets more exposure. But, if I can't moderate my comments that would not be good!

Widgets like Facebook Like and AddThis - Any Negative SEO?
I could go widget crazy with my website, there are so many cool buttons and linking this and likes and etc. There's one that is used a lot, called "Addthis" that adds a series of small icons to share a page via facebook, twitter, etc. The javascript looks innocent enough, but there's a link, and who knows what google makes of it. Then there are the dozen or so Facebook widgets - are they safe to use without negative SEO consequences? Does anyone know of any other pitfalls with using the numerous addons offered free to enhance your site? Thanks for any wisdom out there! Jean
