Official Facebook Like Button

I would like to follow up the post made about the Tweet button with a post about the Facebook Like button and the benefits of adding the button to your web site.

Below is an image of what the button looks like.  If you would like to see a real world example, you will find one at The Vintage Revival near the bottom.


The Facebook Like button allows visitors to share the content of your site with people on Facebook. When a visitor clicks on the Like button, a story appears in that visitor’s friends’ News Feed with a link back to your website. As you can guess, this quickly and easily helps promote your site on one of the most popular social networks on the Internet today.

By embedding code in your website (called Open Graph tags), your page will become the equivalent of a Facebook page with a connection made on Facebook between the visitor and your web site. Your site will appear in the "Likes and Interests" section of the visitor's profile and you will have the ability to publish updates to the visitor. Your page will show up in the same places that Facebook pages show up around the site (e.g. search), and you can target ads to people who like your content.

The main advantage of the Facebook Like button is increased integration with a popular social networking site which will help promote your site through the actions of your site’s visitors.

Both the Facebook Like button and the Twitter Tweet button are easy to integrate into your site.  If you have any questions, contact us through our website or post a comment below.
