Who’s Using What?
• How many of you have a Facebook
Business Page/Timeline?
– Do you know about FB Insights?

• What about Twitter for business
marketing?
• Finally, LinkedIn Business Pages and
Ads?


Facebook EdgeRank Overview

There are three basic components to the Facebook
EdgeRank algorithm:

• “Affinity” refers to the user’s relationship with the
item’s creator

• “Weight” combines what the item is and how it’s being
interacted with. Status, Video, question, photo.

• “Time Decay” refers to how recent the item is.

• Without a decent EdgeRank Score, your status updates
may not be seen by all of your fans.


Facebook Insights
People Talking About This – number of
people that engage with your Page and includes
users liking your Page, liked, commenting on or
sharing a post from your Page, answered a Question
you’ve asked on your Page, or tagged your Page in
an update or in a photo. This also includes
Facebook users who’ve responded to an event on
your Page.

Friends of Fans – This is the total number of
friends all your fans have.

Reach – The number of people who have seen
content associated with your Page

Virality – The percent of people who saw a story
from your Page and “talked about it”. (calculated by
Reach/People Talking)

that Facebook collects about user engagement with

Facebook Advertising

Facebook Ads

• Can be geo targeted, demographic and allows
targeting according to profile attributions

Sponsored Stories
• Sponsored Stories let you promote stories about people
connecting with your Page, app, event or domain to their
friends.
• People are 2x more likely to engage with your page when they
see a friend already Likes your page
• Ad size: 240 px wide / variable height.
• 6 different ways to use Sponsored Stories (next slide)

Tips to Optimize your Facebook Ads
• Analyze your Edgerank
– If your page does not have much engagement, you may be paying
for ads to drive people to your Page, spending lots of money to get
them there, and then have them not engaged.
• Avoid Ad Saturation
– FB now measures frequency of ad views by avg person, best to
change ad copy/image often to avoid same people seeing same ad.
• Only change ONE thing at a time
– Since no true A/B testing of FB ads, best to either change ad copy,
image, target audience.
– Leave only for 7 days to allow analysis
• Target friends of connections (only for Page ads)
– Many people forget about this. This is huge! Friends sell!
• Go for little and large
– Try running ads to a specific demographic like 25-35y/o, or broaden
an audience.
– If large budget, run both types of campaigns, targeting niche and
one broad. Determine which is your winner!

Blogging with WordPress

19

WordPress.com Blogs
WordPress.com Benefits
• It’s free and much easier to set up, no technical experience needed.
• Everything is taken care of: setup, upgrades, spam, backups, security, etc.
• Your blog is on hundreds of servers, so it’s highly unlikely it will go down due to
traffic.
• Your content is backed up automatically
• You get extra traffic from the WordPress.com community — including blogs of the
day and tags
• Your dashboard is secure (SSL) making it even safer to log in on shared networks
WordPress.com Cons
• Can only use provided themes which you can modify and edit the CSS, cannot
upload own or purchased theme
• You can’t modify the PHP code behind your blog
• You can’t upload plugins
• Cannot use your own domain name like ChescoMarketing.com


WordPress.org Blogs

WordPress (self-hosted) Benefits
• Ability to upload themes & plugins
• Great community of users for support
• Complete control to change code if you’re technically minded or have someone
that can make code changes

WordPress (self-hosted) Cons
• You need a good web host, which generally costs $7-12 a month
• Requires more technical knowledge to set up and run
• You’re responsible for stopping spam
• You have to handle backups
• You must upgrade the software when a new version comes out, WP does have
plugins to handle this.
