Why Facebook, Why Now For Real Estate?
February 19th, 2010
The simple answer is for their traffic driving power.
Facebook has passed search-engine giant Google to become the top source for traffic to major portals like Yahoo and MSN, and is among the leaders for other types of sites.
This trend is shifting the way Web site operators approach online marketing, even as Google takes steps to move into the social-media world.
Some experts say social media could become the Internet’s next search engine.
Astoundingly, Facebook not Google is the largest driver of traffic to major websites. This reminds us in a way of AOL, back in the early days of all this. AOL attempted to control the users online experience, from dialing up to the internet, (remember that?), to checking email, to surfing the web all within the AOL “experience”.
Stickiness.
Another great achievement of Facebook is the time people spend there. It has been said that currently people spend more time at Facebook than all other sites combined. This too is astounding.
If you have been putting this off today’s the day!

This is where the facebook business page come in. It’s your chance for a do-over.
A facebook business page is the clean sheet if you like. You set one up, then select, carefully, from your ‘friends’ list who you want to be a ‘fan’ of this page. From there you can start again. You are in efffect the editor, the admin.
Until recently the facebook business page, and the regular ‘person?’ page were very similar. But recently facebook has enabled business pagers to add customized content. It’s in it’s infancy, and as a consequence fairly basic however, it’s is a great improvement on…er…nothing.
