What to Post on Facebook for maximum traffic/likes
-
Hello,
I am just now starting on my facebook page for my personal development coaching website.
Here it is:

I have to be careful not to spam my collegues and friends with like requests. How do I get started gaining relevant traffic and likes?

I really liked your reply too Chris. Thank you.

Hi Bob,
It's not specifically related to Facebook pages, but this brought a smile to my face this morning:
Good luck with the new page.

Giveaways and prizes work the fastest, but to avoid the "almost spam" route, considering your career, I would push out daily motivational sayings, tips, and photos that people can then share. The more they share, the bigger Reach you have and the bigger the reach, the more people that see your message each day.
The most important thing is being consistent. It's easy to get disillusioned and discouraged when things move slow. My friend Simon T. Bailey is also a personal coach and very good at this. Check out his Facebook page to see how he does it at https://www.facebook.com/simon.t.bailey. It's a good battle plan.

Hi Bob,
There is actually some software in development that attempts to answer this question.
I'm on the waiting list and I'm excited to see what they offer.
Here are the things I do in order of importance to start building a following:
- Make sure my timelime, cover photo etc. are professional and interesting
- Develop a posting schedule and learn to measure the results (In FB insights you can get a picture of how many people are giving your posts negative feedback. This is your spam-o-meter.
- Experiment with FB advertising.
Hope this helps.
Jesse
p.s. Here is an FB page I built last month if you are interested in another example. http://www.facebook.com/hawaiiperformingartsfestival

Unique content is always your best bet. At the risk of giving a rather vague answer, the best way to get "likes" is to write content that people will like!
Think of a common question or problem that people have, and try to answer/solve it. Become a helpful resource, try not to just regurgitate advice that anyone can find in 5 seconds with a Google Search.
There isn't a lot of science behind it... you sort of have to work with trial and error. Learn your audience, learn what they like and what resonates with them. Over time you can refine it into a winning formula, but each niche has it's own group of people that need to buy in to make something successful.
For a humorous take on this advice, see the following: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/facebook_likes

Does posting links in comments on Linkedin count as blackhat?
Hello, I noticed a competitor site has started writing a post on linkedin and then adding the link to the article they are referencing in the comments section. I started to dig into this and came up with this useful post https://growthrocks.com/blog/linkedin-abtest-link-in-comment/ to me that all screams black hat, spamming and scamming... What does the Moz Community think? Sincere thanks for feedback and I hope you're safe - wherever you are... Rhiannon

Facebook: reaching audience who have liked / shared my content
Hi, I am new to social, so the question might be a bit beginner. If I put a like / share / recommend button on my site, or maybe a comment box, how can I reach audiences at a later time, who have interacted with my plugins (liked/shared/commented)? Paid ads would be one solution, but for now I am interested in organic (free) targeting. So if people who share my content do not become fans at the same time, how can I engage them in new updates about my page? Thanks for thoughts.

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

Do i direct traffic to all social platforms or not?
Hi ...I have a brand that is very strong socially..specifically facebook and twitter and this is where we have directed all strategy and traffic. We recently wanted to establish a presence on google+ and have done so. My feeling at this point is to maintain a presence on google+ but only direct social traffic to facebook and twitter from the brands website....so we can keep the focus here aswell as the stronger community. I have noticed other brands doing something similar.....is this a good strategy or should we be directing traffic to all the platforms from the site?...bottomline should we be linking to all our social platforms from the brands website or keep it linked to the stronger platforms and just maintain a presence on the others? thank you

Facebook Shares/Likes: Does the users location matter for location specific keywords?
Hi, Basically if I was going after a location specific keyword, so lets say 'dry cleaners london' would Facebook likes/shares from users' who's location settings in Facebook are set to London work better then say someone in a different country or does it hold the same weight social signals wise?

Do facebook shares pass share juice the same way links pass link juice?
If i have a page on my domain say PAGE-A and let's say it's located at: http://www.mydomain.com/something/page-a and this page has quite a lot of page authority from many many inbound links. It is my understanding that if i "sculpt" the internal links on PAGE-A to point at only my primary targets, let's call the PAGE-B, PAGE-C, and PAGE-D; then those pages would gain some benefit from this link juice flowing through. Consider a similar situation where i have a page, say PAGE-F located at: http://www.mydomain.com/anotherpage/page-F and page-F gets 150 facebook shares. would the links on page-F pass this benefit on in any way? Or is only the direct target of the facebook share gaining benefit from this facebook sharing? Furthermore, lets consider a scenario where there are 30 or 40 similar pages like PAGE-F all with links out to my primary targets. Would these primary targets gain anything as these 30 or 40 pages gained facebook shares? Repeat above question, replace 'facebook' with 'twitter'. repeat again for 'google+' ?
