Back lining for my competition on face book but through blog

[GarethEJones]

Hi all, Just a quick question .. I currently have a competition running on Facebook for fan page likes likes but I also have a post on my blog also talking about the competition which links to Facebook and my main e commerce site. since the competition is doing relatively well i would like to draw more attention to it but via my blog rather than linking to Facebook ... how would you go about it? Many thanks

Hey Gareth

Not 100% sure I understand the question.

You are looking to build more likes for your Facebook page

You want to stop linking out to facebook?

I am a simple man, so easily confused! Can you give us a few more details?

Cheers

Marcus

Hi Marcus Well I want both I'm greedy like that but I don't want to keep linking directly to Facebook but rather link to my website which then links to Facebook. So I want to continue to promote the competition but direct the entrants to my web site which then links to Facebook. Hope that make sense

I am not sure you will get much out of this but you could always just send people to the post on the main site which then sends them to the Facebook page? Likewise, you could just link from the blog to the Facebook page and the main site.

There is not a great deal to gain here I don't think though so I would not lose a great deal of sleep over this one.

Cheers

Marcus

The one thing I would check with is making sure that your contest follows the rules of FB for a contest. The last thing you want to do is bring more attention to it and then discover that it's against FB's rules.
