Creating a Facebook page is the best way for Site admins and bloggers to interact with their visitors and fans. By sharing the links on their pages then can even drag good amount of traffic to their site. Normally bloggers work hard to increase No. of LIKES for their pages so that they can get more traffic from the Facebook

3. Facebook Pages for Fun and entertainment

Few people used to create pages to entertain others .they used to share lot of jokes and facts on them. I used to see many such pages. Though they won’t fetch them any sort of money. They will just do that for their entertainment and its part of Facebook addiction. There day’s posts on “TROLL”’s too many . . .!

Difference between Facebook page and Facebook profile

You may think that “why don’t we create a Facebook Profile instead of Facebook Pages?” here are the differences between Facebook profile and Facebook page

According to Facebook, Profiles are meant only for people where as Facebook pages can be used for different purposes as I mentioned above. So, Facebook provided many settings and options for the Facebook pages keeping the requirements in mind. Let’s see them one by one

Admin management

For a Facebook page you can add multiple profiles as the admin’s of that page. Any admin can post on the pages. All the admins will have equal rights to access and change the settings for the page. Even one admin can remove another admin. Recently Facebook added few other positions other than admin like content creator, advertiser, Manager . . .  etc

In Facebook profiles we can’t add other as admins to any profile. So Facebook pages are lot more comfortable than Facebook profiles.

Facebook Chat

Facebook pages are not provided with chat option because  for the pages with millions and thousands of likes, chatting with many people at a time might be a headache for admins…!

But in the case of admins,as you know Chat option is provided.

“SEEN” for Facebook pages

This is a new option pages on Facebook it will show the people who have “SEEN” that particular post. This is available only for the Groups and pages which are created recently and if you are create a new page or a new group you can make use of this option

For Facebook profiles this feature haven’t been provided yet, but Facebook may introduce this in future for profiles too.

Limitations on No. of Friends/Fans

The maximum number of friends for a Facebook profile is 5000 after that they will remain as subscriber to that profile. After that you can’t accept friend request.

In the case of Facebook pages, there is no such limitation; you can have as many likes J

Insights

This is an awesome feature which is provided only for the Facebook pages. With this you can analyse a lot about your fans. You can analyse your friends country wise, it will show you exactly with number of people from each country liked you page till now. Even you can get the number of people from each age group had liked your page. There will be clear graphical representation of likes reach for your page.

Insights feature is not Provided for Facebook Profiles.
