You can use Facebook’s social plugins on your custom Facebook page to add elements such as the Like Button. But let that not develop the notion that that’s the only way to get likes, for companies like the Marketing Heaven can get you Facebook likes out of thin air.
This code can be obtained on the Facebook developer’s page and is basically as easy as copy and paste. Well, and adding it to the correct location on your custom page.
Here are the instructions.
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about Facebook’s new SSL requirement and services that you could use to manage that.
I recently discovered that one of my favorite hosts, Hostgator, offers free SSL certificates, even on shared hosting.
Here’s how you can set this up. Of course, you must be hosting with Hostgator.
With the advent of iframes for creating custom Facebook pages last Winter, FBML became deprecated, which led us to believe that it would eventually go away. And we were right – the dates have finally been disclosed.
In March of this year it no longer became possible to add the FBML application but pages that were already using it were able to continue using it and their pages created with FBML still worked fine.
Last year I wrote about how you can create a free contact form for your custom Facebook page using Response-o-matic. Now, I am going to explain how you can do something similar using North Social Contact, which can also be used as a form on your website and for a email campaign.
North Social has a number of Facebook applications, such as Sweepstakes, for running a contest. Other than North Contact, none of these applications are not free. You have a choice of pricing plans, which are the cost per month and have different levels of service. The monthly fee, however, gives you access to ALL of their applications for one Facebook page. If you need to use the apps for more than one page, each page will need it’s own separate account.
I have written a tutorial on how to make a custom Facebook page with an iFrame application. Many of the questions in the comments relate to being unable to see the custom page when you go to view it on your Facebook page.
I have decide to list troubleshooting tips that are the most likely cause of the problem. One of these should correct the issue for you.
