A best social network is a place where so many people around the world comes into a network and spend some time in that.

As far as i could see facebook is one of the best network we got.But the problem is we dont know how to use them effectively. over 500 million of users we have very few friends say like 100 - 10000 and very few out of it would like our work. What we have to do enhance the possibility of getting liked. let us see few things below

Provide the Best Profile:

This is exactly the first thing you should do to make an impact on Facebook. You should make Personal reflection of you as a brand. Profile should include an effective picture of you. Do not use one of your funny pictures like pictures taken in bar, clubs, holiday resorts or in Christmas eve, use a decent picture. Make sure your Facebook profile is a brand new. You should include your contact information, and your web address (this is very important), education, work experience and personal interests. A full overview is the only way to go.

Add as many friends as you can:

Adding friends for your page or profile is much complicated, many would accept just like that and many would neglect it. For that you should know how to make relationships, the ratio depends upon how much friends you can generate in very short period. you should search for people who has the same interest as you have or people who have interest in products like yours. Use the help of www.twiends.com to get more likes and friends, its the best way to get friends with your taste. you can get atleast 1000 friends in two weeks.

Facebook Groups/ fan page:

Creating and joining facebook group will expand your marketing in a way. there are groups with more than thousands of members, you can make some good purchase out there. Every type of professionals/business people/ website admin will have a group, finding group similar to your requirement wont be a problem. If you cant find any group as per your requirement, then create your own group and spend some time in recruiting people. Facebook allows you to reccomend people to join your group. just type in the name of people who you belive would join you and send the request.

Syndicate your blog/site in your wall:

Every one in this world who wants to expand their business has a website or blog. If you dont have a one make a one and use that RSS to syndicate your blog in your fanpage or wall. with this you can generate more lead, readers and even exposure about your product/busines or blog will be obtained.

2011-06-09T03:55:00.000-07:00

Each and every day lots of third party applications and games are being created for facebook and many of them are being installed and used. Most of these applications and games are been certified by FB or simply comes with the knowledge of facebook. But the ratio of hacking/spamming and malware possibilities haven't decreased yet. Though these games and applications are made to timepass or have fun or whatever, they are also used as a hunting ground for people who wants to grab your informations and details.

Yet the games havent reduced or the people playing them haven't reduced. how can we keep ourselves safe from such threats. You know ? these companies make money by lead-generation using the information gathered from us. Do you remember every time when you install an application it asks for your permission to gather information from your profile and thats where it does the trick. ok lets see how we can reduce the chances .

1. Use Fake profile for playing:
If you are a person who loves to play games on facebook rather than social networking, you should try this. make a fake profile fill the required information with fake ones or you can simply leave it. when there is a less information the chance of phishing is also less. now you can give this profile id to your friends who loves to play social games and multiplayer games along with you

2. Give less information about you in your Profile:

A person who plays games not only puts his Information on risk but also the information about his friends who dont play games. because when these applications gets access from you enters your profile and enters your friends profile using yours as a door. Very less information in your profile can less the possibilities of phishing.

3.Keep Your eyes on privacy settings regularly:

The Facebook guys would change their privacy policies and settings regularly. so keep an eye on it change your privacy settings accordingly. Make sure that you also decide who cann access your profile datas and who cant.

4. Make sure that you have a web browser protected with antivirus and spyware.
