Using Social Networks to Boost Your Business and Products/Services Sales
They began as tools to communicate on a social level. One person relating with another. Sharing thoughts. Communicating actions, events, trends.
Over the years they’ve gained a boom and, because business deals and sales of products and services are basically a function of relationships – your contacts, your links, etc, the Social networks have become the next platform for advertising your products and services. (The more persons there are on any network, the greater the chances of conversion.) It’s all about opportunities.

To incorporate Facebook Analytics to your page and extend the reach of your products/services and your brand, you will need to utilise the new Facebook Like plugin. Placing the code for the plugin on your page links you back to Facebook and inevitably to its Analytics that will give you details of visits to your website or blog page. It also boosts your visibilty via search engines. Remember that the more visibility you have, the greater the chances of new opportunities.
You can also place the Facebook Post to Facebook link on your page. It gives visitors to your site the opportunity to post articles on your webpage to their Facebook pages and other locations.
To implement the Like plugin and the Post to Facebook plugin on your website, you must create an iframe and specify an “href” attribute to the iframe: something like
