This article will show you how to “Leverage The Love” of your Facebook Fans to grow your Facebook Fanpage. If you want to get a ton of free traffic and new Fans to your fan page Facebooks new widget might help.
If you have your own Facebook Fan Page, one way to get your Fans to promote your page is to ask them to place a Fan Badge on their website or blog
If you are an admin, the best way to show your fans how to put a Fan Badge on their site is to do this yourself first and then educate your Fans by showing them exactly how to do it too. You could make a quick camtasia video and post it on your fan page or direct them to this article. Better still copy the link from the widget you create and post it on your Fan Page. http://www.facebook.com/facebook-widgets/fanbadges.php?page_id=158064879912
Click on the “Promote with a Fan Box” link just below the Fan Page logo image on the left side of the page
Now select “Widgets Home”
You will now be taken to the main Facebook Widgets Page : http://www.facebook.com/facebook-widgets/index.php
Select the “Fan Badge” link
From the first drop down menu select the Fan Page you want to create the badge for
You should get a preview displayed on the right of the page
Now select the text inside the box and Copy it to your clipboard by clicking CTRL C
Now go to your blog or website. In this example I am using my wordpress.org blog
Login to the backend of your WordPress blog, http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin
Click on “Appearance” and then select “Widgets”
Drag a “Text” widget to one of your sidebars
Click on ther new widget and paste in your code from Facebook
Dont forget to click “Save”
Now visit your website to check everything is working
In this example I have place the Fan Badge in the left hand sidebar
Your Fan Badge will now have a live link back to your Favorite Fan Page
Share The Love
I have a question, but I was very confused about how and where to ask it on your site. I did not see any contact info or forum.
Im curious to know if there are options for automatic monitoring of a Facebook fan, group, or personal page.
Is the only option – manual review or approval of comments? Or is there something we can setup as the owner of the fan page – that can act automatically in some form? Like a keyword list (curse words and more) that causes that comment to be rejected or sent to someone for approval.
If not now, do you see something like this available in the future?
Thank you for your consideration.
This would be a very good feature to have. Facebook do not supply proper analytics or fan page management tools. it would be great to be able to set up approval for comments posted on a fan page like you can on a blog. Maybe in the future this type of thing will be implemented
I would like to insert a fan badge right into my facebook profile, but it only shows the code when I do.. any ideas? Thanks!
You can use the “profile html' application. Just drop the code into this application and it should display the badge on your profile
I need help!!! I can create a badge for my Profile page, but when I follow the direction for my FAN page…and preview the badge no pic or anything shows up like it does for my profile page – what am I doing wrong?!?

Five Minute Fan Page
Facebook fan page template that looks great without being overly busy. Your own personal style preferences and the kind of page you're developing are important considerations as well, but it's better overall to under-design in the beginning since you can always add more bells and whistles later.
