How To Own Facebook With Twitter Easily and Build Traffic
I have already showed you how to own Fark and now it’s time to own Facebook, using Twitter. If you tweet a lot or you have some type of auto-tweeting going on (hello API!) then this will already be an easy task for you. By taking advantage of the Twitter App for Facebook you can easily start to drive traffic that’s generated from your Facebook page.
The way the application works, every time you make a tweet on Twitter your Facebook status is updated. Why is this good? Whenever one of your friends on Facebook logs in they see the people who have most recently updated their status. So if you are constantly tweeting or have a Twitter Bot to do it for you, you will always be at the top of your friends’ Facebook page.
Traffic benefits aside, there are also other aspects to this technique. As more and more people see that you are tweeting away, they may become curious about Twitter and join. Using your account as the catalyst means they are very likely to follow you if they create an account increasing your network and power. And because the new accounts already know you or have some type of relationship with you on Facebook, you have built a stronger social network around yourself.
Go try it and by the end of next week I guarantee you will have an increased followship on Twitter.
good technique…
@smmGuru … i’ve been doing this for most of my time on Twitter, but i dont really know if it’s good or bad overall?
I do know that people see what i’m saying because i get a lot of folks commenting on my FB ‘status’ … but again, i’m still not sure if it’s the right thing to do.
You have any thoughts on this?
@frank: I think as long as the tweets you are putting up are genuine or at least not spammy then you shouldn’t have a problem.
I don’t mind the twitter thing, but the problem is that if you are doing it with a robot, it soon becomes dehumanizing, it departs from the original intent of social media.
But, if it works for you, and you don’t have a problem with it, like Tyler says, as long as it is not spammy, go for it.
