Who Spreads The News? In Today’s Connected World, Everyone
You are most likely wondering what I mean by your fan page real estate. After going through the recent changes within Facebook Fan Pages I found two areas of prime real estate that you can potentially profit from.
Let’s tackle them one at a time; shall we?
What would it be worth to you to if you were running a health and wellness website and Nutella posted a link to your website on their wall with the potential of reaching 7,728,795 fans! I suppose the nature of your business and the size of the fan page following would be two critical factors in what that cost would be. Needless to say the potential traffic that you could realize could be worth the investment.
Facebook has given admins a few more options in controlling their fan pages. Two of those updates are made by selecting Featured Likes and Featured Page Owners and then having them displayed on your fan page. See the two images below.
As of now Facebook allows you to have 5 pages that your fan page profile has liked to be shown on the left hand bar. You can either have these pages cycle randomly or choose 5 that you always want displayed.
This poses the question again. How much would it be worth to have the Nutella fan page “like” your fan page and then have your image and link back to your fan page prominently displayed on theirs?
Just a couple of things to think about.
What are your thoughts on this? Can it work and how would you market this?

Nathan Latka, of The Fan Page Factory, has defeated every other company who offers Facebook Fan Page creation software and he has done it in record time. The name of Nathans new venture is Lujure.
Lujure is an online service that allows the user to completely customize a Facebook Fan Page tab. Lujure is based off a drag a drop system while utilizing a color wheel for aesthetics. After the end user customizes the look a feel of their Fan Page they simply click “Publish Tab” and the code is presented to be pasted in their Facebook FBML tab.
Lujure get’s even better than this.
The user is also able to add Social Media icons, Facebook share buttons, Facebook comment buttons, and embedded code from aWeber, Constant Contact, Mail Chimp or other list building services. The list goes on with what a user can do with the Lujure platform.
Watch the short video below as Nathan Latka goes through an example of creating a custom Facebook Fan Page.

Are the changes that Facebook is making to Fan Pages necessary or just another wrench to be thrown in the ever changing world of Facebook?
If you have been on Facebook for any amount of time; let’s just say within the last two years, you’ve seen some changes and additions to layout, functionality, apps, texting, messaging, places, etc.; some good, some not so good. In my opinion it’s as if changes are made just as the Facebook community is getting comfortable with the new layout and feel from the LAST time they changed it. Honestly, what gives?
Some of you may or may have not yet noticed changes that Facebook is making to their Fan Pages. I manage a few Fan Pages for clients. At this time the change has only been implemented on one of the Fan Pages that I manage. This is for the Utah Advocates and you can see the change on their fan page at http://www.facebook.com/TheUtahAdvocates.
Two other pages that I also manage are for Lifted Life Yoga and Hidden Hills Cabins. To see the difference take a look at their Facebook Fan Pagesathttp://www.facebook.com/LiftedLifeYoga and http://www.facebook.com/BrokenBowHiddenHillsCabins.
From the looks of things this looks to be a progressive move from Facebook. Very similar to the changes they made on personal profile pages. Change a few here and a few there until they are all changed. One of the major concerns that I have with the new layout is the ability to select a landing page with your FBML. We have known for some time that Facebook has been working towards iFrames and away from FBML. I wrote an article about Facebook changing to iFrames. But at least let us choose the landing tab for new comers. That feature has apparently been taken away.
Please comment below and help shed some light on these changes; if anything shorten my learning curve.
Look at the image below to see how the Managed Permissions with your Facebook Fan Page editor looked before and now what they are looking like. The “Default Landing Tab” has been removed.
