Add a Facebook "Like" Widget to your Productive Sites!
Jan 28, 2011

Social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have rapidly become the new arenas for finding an audience online and powerful tools for communicating with existing clients. Integrating them into your site can be a great way to drive traffic and foster a community of like-minded clientele and collaborators. With our Facebook Social Plugin you can now add your your choice of Facebook widget easier than ever before!


Like Box or Like Button

Though the names are confusingly similar, the two functions are not the same and it is important to understand the difference in order to make you Facebook page a success


The Like button is a convenient way for your website visitors to share a particular page on your site with their friends on Facebook. The Like box, on the other hand, makes your site visitors fans of your company's Facebook page. From that moment on, they will see every announcement that you post on your Facebook Page in their Most Recent News feed.


Like buttons are best used at the top or bottom of every page on your site, immediately before or after the content. Like Boxes are most often used on the homepage and in repeating sections of your website like side-bars and columns.

How to add a Like Box

You can add a Like Box to your site in similar manner as you add a Like button. First if you haven't installed Facebook Social Plugins before, go to Control Panel > Applications and installing it from there.


Then from Add Content, choose Facebook Plugin and select the green area on your page where you want to add the box. Next, select the Like Box, enter the URL of your company's Facebook Page, set options and click Add. If you need help setting up a Facebook Page or any sort of social media profile, feel free to ask about our Internet Marketing services.
