Best Way to Build up Likes
-
Hello,
What's the best ways to build up "Likes" on Facebook. A friend of mine wanted to buy likes and I'd like to give him an alternative.
We're in the personal development training industry. We have a
nice website
110 Likes
No twitter or Google+
large number of past customers.
The strategies have to be very non-abrasive as our fan base really cares a lot about us. In other words, it's not the kind of audience you can send mass messages to or do anything that would seem like sales or advertising.
Thanks!

Glad that you are planning to get links, the legitimate way… there can be several ways to get quality likes on your facebook fan page.
My suggestions are that you should go for the likes that are coming from your targeted audience and in order to do that here are my advices:
- As you said you offer a personal development training, so why not offer a special discount to your facebook fans only and if someone wants to avail a discount he/she have to be the facebook fan.
- Encourage targeted people to like you and share it with others though Tees, activities and others…
- Offer free lecture on personal development training and make it available for the people upon liking the page.
There can be many ideas so the more you can invest the more likes you can get out of it.

Best way to get likes is to run a contest and pay for Facebook ads to your contest page. Make sure you target related interests and competitors.

Let me give you an example of one of the best "like" campaigns a friend of mine recently launched. They're in the office furniture business. Snooooooze. Here's what they did:
1. Announced a contest to win a top-of-the-line office chair.
2. To enter, you had to submit a picture to them of your current office chair, the more awful and woe-begotten the better.
3. They posted all entries to an album on their facebook.
4. Their fans were asked to "like" the chair that was the worst off and most in need of replacing, whichever photo got the most likes won.
5. The photos went viral because they were funny, and the contestants and their friends were spreading the word.
Edit: Obviously, I'm suggesting you try to come up with something like this haha. I'm not just rambling on

A friend of mine wanted to buy likes and I'd like to give him an alternative.
Glad you are looking for an alternative.
Suggest that your friend make a very visible place to display AddThis.com buttons or some similar service. Make it very easy for your visitors to "like" things.
Then, if it isn't happening that says something.... but, don't expect every visitor to "like" even the best content. If you get a few out of a thousand that is a pretty good rate if your site is visited by people who are not the types to be using social sites.

Here's a great article that appeared on Mashable recently that outlines 6 different types of posts specifically for Facebook to build user engagement.
In addition to these types of posts, publishing great content to your blog that would be appealing to your users, and then promoting those posts through Facebook and other social media sites is also a good idea.

At the risk of giving you a very bland answer, the best way to get "likes" is to create content that people like.
Take a look at your industry or niche... what common questions do customers have? Is there a dearth of information on some super-specific subject that you can assist with? Consider addressing common issues like these in a creative way that will really resonate with your current fan base and encourage them to share!

700+ Genuine likes in 4 Days on a new Site - Does it risk Google Spam?
Hi my site www.dealwithautism.com is a brand new site - only 2 months old and since Autism is a fairly competitive niche, id do not get more than 30 impression and 4-5 clicks for my 40+ pages on Google. However, recently I have become very active in the social platforms, so over the last week I am getting 200+ pageviews just from Facebook and Twitter, that not bad., I have recently created a post 21 apps for Autism https://www.dealwithautism.com/top-apps-for-autism/ Suddenly this post is generating a lot of interest and in the last 4 days I have received as many as 700+ likes (purely editorially) and it is growing in terms of 100s per day. How I acquired them? Well, firstly I believe it is a very good post. Secondly, I selected one of the Apps in the list as 5 star and editor's choice! Then twitted and Fb mentioned to that company on Twitter and Facebook. They returned the favour by re-tweeting and since they have tens of thousands of followers, my page immediately got traction. My question is this: Do I need to worry about Google turning a suspicious eye on me for being a new site getting too many social signals in too short time? Should I pull out the Like buttons for a while from my site to slow things down?? I am new to web development and not fully sure how Google would recognize social spam.

We got 10,000 facebook likes overnight from people in another country. WHY? How do I get rid of them?
Our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/MobileAttic received more than 10,000 likes over night. We only had about 250 likes prior to this. I know this hurts our engagement numbers as well as limits real customers / community from seeing our posts. Is there any way to get our fans down to a real "non-spammed" number?

Like .vs Share Button - for SEO which is better?
I personally from what I have read believe the share button to be more powerful when it comes to SEO but I don't know for a fact so anyone have any input on this subject? One thing I do know, is it's a lot harder to gain a 'Share' then a 'Like' and im talking about these buttons being onsite maybe in a blog post. If you gained 100 shares and 100 likes which one would generate the best signals? Thanks

Should I have Facebook Likes on my webpage point to a Facebook page or just the domain?
We have a Like button on our site which currently Like's our domain. I'm wondering if it would be better if it Liked a Facebook page for our company. The benefit of liking the domain as I can see it is that when it appears on timelines a click will take you directly to our site.

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
