At this time, there is no way to remove or ban a user from being a fan of your Page. However, if a fan is abusive, you can block them from posting content on your Page. To do so, please click on the “Block” link found underneath the posted content.

If you’re a business looking to promote yourself through social media, one of the key sites you’ll want to look at is Facebook. Facebook is one of the largest social media networking sites on the web and is great for people of all ages. MySpace is good too, but Facebook caters to a larger, more diverse audience.
After you’ve created a profile on Facebook, your next step as a business should be to create a fan page. A fan page is a GREAT way to add contacts, post gimmicks like contests and talk about your company. If you come up with a clever enough plan, you can easily gain many “fans.”
Here are the top 4 reasons to make a Facebook fan page for your website now:
1) All the pages include links to your website. While you can’t use anchor text, the link still allows people to visit your website, which ties into reason number 2.
2) Fan pages are public by default because they don’t require a login to visit (unless you set that option, then they’re no longer visible to everyone, only Facebook members or your allowed contact). If you keep your fan page public (and what’s the point of a fan page if you don’t), its easier for the search engines to index those pages, which in turn allows the possibility that someone will find you in a search. The goal then would be to have someone find you through a search, visit your fan page, then click on the link that takes them to your site.
2) Its free and easy to set up. Additionally, you have complete control over the area. You don’t have to rely on a webmaster or someone else to make additions or change it around, and you can be the first one to make a fan page for your industry, which only you control (nice for getting ahead of your competitors;p).
3) You can send updates to fans, which is key when you’re trying to build a social community and promote yourself. Also, don’t forget to offer information that benefits your users. Tips surrounding your industry, anecdotes, contests – all these make it fun and worth their while for people to become and stay a fan.
4) Besides the viral marketing options above, keep in mind that each time someone becomes a fan, they’re automatically subscribed to your feed, and you show up on their feed and their page. For example, say fan #1 joins company A’s site because they have a cool contest or a funny story. The fact that they became a fan shows up in their personal feed and on their page. A couple of fan #1′s friends visit your page from fan #1′s page, and they become fans. Then the whole process starts again.
Have other reasons?Let us know below!
Any internet marketer knows how hard it is to get people to visit his or her website. Some companies are willing to pay up to $10 or $20 for each visitor to their site through pay-per-click campaigns.
What we sometimes overlook is that keeping a visitor is just as valuable as getting a new one. In fact, return visitors are even more valuable because they are more likely to take action, to purchase whatever you have to sell to them.
Here are a few tips on keeping your visitors.
1. Make sure your site gives your visitors what they want. Internet surfers have very short attention span, and there are millions of site competing for their attention. Your message should jump out at them and grab their interest from the get-go. It should be clear and specific. If your main business is selling Korean DVD’s, make certain that they get the message within the first few seconds. If they have to dig through your site to find Korean DVDs, chances are, they’d already left your site.
2. Keep your site up-to-date. When people return to a site they want to see fresh content. If you’re selling Korean movies, you’ll want to frequently update your site with new releases, special discounts, sales, etc. Updating your site on a regular basis lets your customers know you’re on the ball, that you’re diligent about your business.
3. Send out regular newsletters. Build an opt-in email list from visitors to your site. Place newsletter sign-up forms on as many pages on your site as possible. Send out regular newsletters informing your recipients about the latest updates, specials, offers, etc. Be courteous to your prospects by not sending them too much junk mail and by providing a means for them to have the mailings stopped at any time.
4. Incorporate forums and news feeds on your site. Forums and news feeds update themselves with minimal effort and maintenance on your part, so it’s a no-brainer to incorporate them into your site whenever appropriate.
5. Maintain a blog on your site. A professional blog can be a part of your domain, or you can link to an external blog from your site. The link should be displayed prominently. If your site offers professional services and products, keep your blog entries professional and relevant to the content. Keep miscellaneous personal rants away from your site as they can turn your customers off.
6. Incorporate third-party widgets to your site. Widgets can add special functionality your site without your having to write and implement the codes yourself. There widgets for chat, polls, newsletter signups, weather forecasts, and so on and so forth. Widgets are a good way to add bells and whistles to your site without the expenses of software development and extra bandwidth (since they’re hosted on external sites). However, use them sparingly as they could slow down your site and steal away your visitors (through the outgoing links that they display).
7. Make yourself unique. Chances are, there are hundreds or thousands of other sites in your niche competing for your target visitors. How do you stand out? How do you set yourself apart from others? Check out your competitors’ websites and assess their strengths and weaknesses. Are there certain features that are lacking on their sites that you would be able to provide on yours? Being unique is not so much about coming up with something totally new and revolutionary– although this would do the trick, too– it’s about filling certain voids and needs that are not being filled elsewhere.
8. Make your site fun and attractive. Your site should be easy and intuitive to navigate. The design of the site should fit its function and complement the nature of your business. Avoid flashing links, graphics, glaring colors and other elements that might annoy your visitors.
9. Collect feedbacks from your visitors. Feedbacks are a good way to engage your visitor and gather their inputs on making your site more appealing and usable. They let visitors know that you care about their needs and wishes.
10. Offer “free” things on your site. Sending out newsletters to people in your opt-in list offering them “free” this and “free” that is a good way to attract return traffic. In truth, nothing in life is really free. This probably explains why no matter how much the word “free” is overused, it remains a very powerful marketing technique. Although few people are foolish enough to think they’d actually get something absolutely free, with no strings attached, they’re always looking for extra perks and incentives to give them more for their money.
When you start up your internet business, there are lots of things that you have to consider. Among all the things that you need to think about, it is important that you consider how you are going to make your business and website a total success. There are many different ways wherein you can ensure that you get the most out of your webpage. One way that you can do this is by link building.
Building links is a simple concept, but is an important aspect to a flourishing web page. Basically, it is the method of developing inbound links to your website. This can be accomplished using many different techniques such as Directory Submission, article submissions, press releases, social book marking, newsletters, and blogging. Furthermore you may also use the method of having reciprocal links, one way links, link exchanges and deep linking. This is one of the best ways for your website to gain publicity and traffic. With all of these strategies, you actually get help with the increase of your links, page rank and search engine results. Link building however, is the best way that you can improve the number of visitors to your site and ranking on search engines as well.
Advantages:
1. When you have incoming links that are of good quality, it will be seen as an authority site.
2. Link building aids in developing page rank, visibility and creditability.
3. Larger range of search engine exposure.
As mentioned before, there are a few ways in which you can make your web site get the attention that it truly deserves. One way is through link exchange and this is when two owner's of a web site make an agreement that they will show one another's link on their own web page.
The second type of link building is one way links. One way links are the best and most valuable links that you can have, because they are considered more natural. When you receive links to your website from pages that show relevant content and have high page ranking; these also ensure you a thumbs up in search engine rankings. An example on how you can accomplish this is if you happen to know someone who has their own website. Then you can simply ask that person to post links that represent your website on their own site. There, you have a one way link.
There are also reciprocal links. This kind of linking is normally done between start up bloggers. It is not as valuable as one way links, but it can still be a powerful tool to getting traffic to your website. Another way of link building is deep linking. Deep linking is a highly important factor when it comes down to building links for your site, because not only does it add to the entire amount of back links to your page; but it also contributes to the traffic levels. In addition, this also increases spider's interest in your content, which makes your site more likely for them to index much quicker and give it more relevance.
SEO Link building has many advantages, but the most important advantage is that your website will get the traffic that it needs to survive in the big world of internet businesses.
StumbleUpon (SU) is one of the coolest social bookmarking sites. You can really get some traffic out of this site. Today I’ll give you some tips that would help you get the most out of it. And I’ve specifically written this guide for blogs. But, you could use this guide for your forum too.
Stumbling other sites
I’m assuming that you have an account and have the toolbar installed. If not then go do that first. Okay don’t just start stumbling your own blog. It is also helpful for SEO Link Building Lets make it look legit and save your ass from getting banned by SU. So, go to some of your favourite sites and click on the “I like” button on your toolbar aka stumbling it.
Do that on about 2-6 sites. And make sure that you write a review on at least 2 sites. Make sure that the review is nice and not just some dumb shit.
Time to stumble your blog
Yeah now lets work on your blog. First pick a post (preferably a recent one) that you think is superb and would be useful to people. Bookmark that. Write a nice little review and try not to look spammy. Okay good. Don’t stumble all the posts. Just pick the best ones.
Adding friends
Add a few random people as your friend. And if you know people that use SU and has been a member for a long time then you just won the lottery. Add them right away. Ask them to stumble your blog and write a nice review.
Stumbling Networks
There are sites which are dedicated to stumble exchanges. Like people there will stumble you and in return you’ll stumble them. Smart bastards, huh? One of the sites that does that is StumbleXchange. And another one is BlogCatalog. You’ll find groups like this on BlogCatalog that exchange stumbles. You could give them a try. It’ll be worth it.
Social networking is an essential part of marketing on the internet. But for social networking to work for your business, you really have got to be seen to be participating in these communities.
If you are anything like me, you probably belong to a handful of social networking sites and do not have the time to go to each one to post an update.
A stagnant social networking profile does nothing for your reputation. Problem is with so many other things to do, one soon loses track
There is a tool I have been using for a while now to help make things easier.
It allows you to post to all your social networking profiles with one click.
Admittedly all the sites will display the same message but it does keep your profile active.
And if your update contains a link then you could get up to 42 different sites that the link is posted to. Not a bad thing
The tool is http://ping.fm
Anyone following me on twitter will notice that some of my updates are via ping.fm
It's a free service and really user friendly.
There are 42 social networking sites that you can update from your ping dashboard. You do have to be registered with each of these social networking sites and ping.fm will ask for your log in details, stands to reason really.
And you'll find that you may already be a member of the social networking sites updated via ping.fm
the current list includes facebook, twitter, linkedIn, friendfeed, diigo, Hootsuite, Flickr, Posterous, Vox and more
So if you want the ability to update all your social networking profiles with one click, check out ping.fm

So I have managed to get a few of the posts on this and other blogger blogs to rank well with the search engines for a bunch of keywords
Everyone in affiliate marketing goes on about how great Wordpress is and how all those plug ins allow you to enhance your optimization efforts. And there is no disputing that this is true
But blogger posts can also be easily optimized and you have the advantage of quick indexing with blogger
Here are a few on page optimization tips for your blogger blog
On page SEO tip 1: Domain name. Before you choose the domain name of your blogger blog, do some keyword research and determine which keyword is most relevant to your blog.
Once you have identified the keyword, use it as the first word of your blogspot domain name
Remember, the earlier in your URL the keyword appears, the better for your SEO
On page SEO tip 2: Post title. When setting up your blog, you should have selected yes for the option to allocate each post it's own unique URL.
If you have done this each post's URL is your blogger domain name + the post title.
You should, where possible, include the keyword you are targeting in each post, in the title of your post
On page SEO tip 3: Template. We know that the google bot reads the webpage from LEFT to RIGHT and TOP to BOTTOM.
So why would you want to choose a template that has the about me and other widgets on the left side of the page? They have little or no SEO value.
It makes better sense to use a template that has the blog post to the left of the page and all the other widgets, ads etc on the right side of the page
It really is amazing how many bloggers are burning rubber out there. By that I mean they are working really hard but doing all the wrong things.
No wonder people think blogging for an income does not work
I was at a forum which I have been a member of for about three years and have about 60 posts on there.
Yeah, I know 60 posts for three years does not make me the most active member of the forum. And it is one of the more active webmaster forums.
I noticed something odd. A chap who had about 2000 posts for a one year membership declared his earnings. About $80 a month.
Shocking.
Now I am not saying forum participation is bad, in fact it's a good thing and I get a fair amount of traffic from the forums. But you have got to be smart about it. Having one well thought out and relevant answer to someones question is going to go much further than lots of inanae posts. it's about the quality of the message not the quantity.
So if you are a marketer who is doing your own thing and not outsourced, try to focus on return on investment regarding time and effort. it'll help you decide how often you post in the forums and how much time you leave for other effective things like article marketing, social networking, product creation, content creation.... need I go on?
I don't know about you by $80 a month is not a lot of money, it's quite bad.
So why did this grab my attention?
This guy has done what he was told to do by the gurus, forum participation and he was actively participating as well.
But if you are going to post 2000 posts in a forum in one year...... Doesn't leave any time for much else.
See what I mean by working smart rather than hard.

Facebook is yet another social network that has gained much popularity in recent years. There have been many other social networks before Facebook, but none could reach the popularity graph of Facebook in such a quick time. Today Facebook is not just about socializing, but even emerging as best social media to post information regarding company or service and can be used for business. You can use this social media to promote your products and services, to acquire new clients, or even get traffic to your website or blog. In case, if you still wondering about how to get target visitors from social media like Facebook on your website then here are few vital social media optimization tips that you can follow:
Try to include information regarding your website on your wall or in photo gallery- Facebook is one of the few social networking that facilitates you to write a lot about you and your endeavors. Adding to this, you may even add or include pictures, so try to have the maximum use of all these opportunities and build the interest in you and your products.
Always try to build a good network- You need to understand that your network is your major capital in social networking websites. Therefore, always try to invite your friends and partners and ask them to join as your supporter. In fact, the best exercise that you can follow is you should always search for people with interests similar to yours. However, make sure you never spam, remember this is not the way to encourage people to join your network.
You have to post regularly - Posting regularly is the best recipe for success on Facebook. You need to understand that if you don’t publish new content regularly, the traffic to your Facebook profile and correspondingly the traffic to your website will automatically get slow and may affect the traffic. The chances are very high that you may not be able to post on a daily basis, so the best thing that you can do is try to do it as frequently as you can. If nothing else then you may also try to update your status regularly.
Try to arrange your page- Facebook is one of the few social networks that provide you the flexibility to move around many of the boxes. Just for example, if you put the RSS feed with the links to your blog in a visible space, this simple step can easily help you in generating lots of traffic for your blog or even website from Facebook account.
You can also use Facebook social ads- If you are unable to get target visitors the most appropriate and effective way you can get the traffic is by using Facebook Social ads. These are just like PPC ads and starting a campaign is similar to an AdWords campaign.
You can also start a group - Start a group about something related to your business and invite people to join it. Following this method has a great advantage as this approach is the simplest way of getting the targeted visitors who are only interested in your profile, product or your services, etc.
It is not possible to compile a complete list of all the tactics you can use in order to drive traffic from Facebook to your site, but following just few basics as we have listed here, might increase the chances of considerable increase in ratio of target visitors from Facebook to your website or blog.

example: http://www.geekblogger.org, yes correct my blog is hosted in blogger :).
1) If you don't have any domain already then Choose and Register Your Domain.
The first thing you'll need to do is to choose a domain name, like example.com and register it. You can register domain names from any of a number of different registrars, and you can use .com, .org, .net or any other valid addresses. Remember: you only need to get the domain name; you don't have to pay extra for hosting service. The easiest way to register a domain is to buy your domain directly through Blogger. If you go this route, we'll automatically configure all of your relevant DNS settings and attach your new domain to your existing blog immediately.
Update the DNS Settings:
DNS stands for Domain Name System, and a DNS server determines what site a given address takes you to. So far, you have a domain name but none of the servers on the internet know what to do with it yet. To take care of this, you need to do two things:
Create a CNAME record for your blog's address, which should be a subdomain of the form www.example.com.
To create a CNAME record for your domain with the DNS, associating your domain with:
ghs.google.com.
The exact procedure for doing this varies depending on your domain registrar, but you can find instructions for many common registrars here. If yours isn't listed, or if you run into other difficulties, you can contact your registrar directly and they'll be able to help you out.
Create 'A' NAME records for your naked domain (blog.com)
Note: The following information applies to naked domains only!! If you're setting up a subdomain then this does NOT apply to you! :-)
Creating A records for your naked domain is important as it allows Google to redirect people who use in your naked domain name (blog.com) to your blog page (www.example.com). If you do not do this, visitors who leave off the www will see an error page.
There are four separate A records you will create, and can be done from the same control panel you accessed your CNAME records. Simply point your naked domain (example.com, without the 'www') to each of the following IP addresses:
216.239.32.21
216.239.34.21
216.239.36.21
216.239.38.21
Your DNS setup is now complete!
Update Your Blogger Settings
Almost done! At this point, you have a domain name, and the DNS servers know to direct people to Google when they want to see your blog. But Google hosts lots of blogs, so we have to make sure the right one is associated with this domain. You'll do this on the Settings | Publishing tab for your blog in Blogger.
If you're publishing on Blog*Spot, you'll see a link near the top offering to switch you to a custom domain. Go ahead and click that link.
The Blog*Spot Address setting now changes to Your Domain. Fill in the domain you registered, and then save your settings.
Now the only thing left to do is to tell everybody about your new address!
Notes:
If your new domain isn't taking you to your blog, wait another day or two to make sure all the DNS servers have been updated. If it still isn't working, contact your registrar to make sure you entered the DNS settings correctly.
Your original Blog*Spot address will automatically forward to your new domain. That way, any existing links or bookmarks to your site will still work.
You can use this feature with domains (e.g. example.com) or subdomains (e.g. ). However, you cannot specify subdirectories (e.g. example.com/blog/) or wildcards (e.g. *.example.com).
Your posted images will continue to display on your blog as described here.
After making the changes check who.is, and your ANAME and CNAME records should be display something like given below here.
You can get the errors given in below screen shot during the setting of custom domain with your blogger account.
1) Another blog is already hosted at this address.
2) Blogs many not be hosted at naked domains.
What is a naked domain?
A naked domain is simply a domain name without the 'www' prefix. For example, google.com (naked) instead of www.google.com(non-naked.) To fix this, simply enter the non-naked (means add www before domain name) version of your domain and save your settings.
Solution:
1) solution of the problem 1 is that you might have already hosted blog some where else, wait 24 hours after changing the ANAME and CNAME records.
2) solution for problem 2 is just add the www as prefix against your domain name.
That's all you need to do for running your custom domain blog withing blogger.
Let me know if you have any doubt or query :)
