Once upon a time, in the land of Facebook, there was such a thing as a ‘Fan’. Someone became a fan of a page when they clicked the ‘Become a Fan’ button on a particular fan page. A person had to be on your page to become a fan, but with recent changes to how Facebook allow people to connect with your page, a whole new world of opportunity has opened up.

Recently, Facebook created the Facebook. This button extends Facebook’s like feature to other sites on the web. If users are logged into their facebook account, then they can “like” or “recommend” a web page to all of their facebook friends as they are reading it from the site.

Facebook is the most popular social media network,  everyone from age 11 to 77 are on Facebook. Each user has a news feed where they see updates from their friends. The news feed shows the link their friends like, people their friend added, pages their friends became a fan of and much more. Now if a user has 410 facebook friends, and he clicks “like” on your post, then it will be shown to all of his 410 friends. This is the best free word of mouth advertising you can get. But this does not end here. It gets better. Lets say, Angela  likes a link from one site, and Randy also clicks like on that same link. Lauren who is a mutual friend of both Angela and Randy will see a text like:

Your Friends Angela and Randy liked The Net Impact’s  Link: Who Had the Assist to Your Conversion Goal?

The like feature  is powerful because not only create an excellent platform for word of mouth advertising, but by mentioning two friends liking this post Lauren is twice as likely to click like on your link. This button has the potential to  making your article go viral on facebook.
