I think this is a good idea. Lately, when I’ve conducted searches with fairly competitive keywords, I’ve seen Facebook pages on Google’s first page. Social networks have certainly been a plus for internet marketers.
I plan to create a facebook account for my company, but i’d better create a page for it instead. it is legal and a better way.
compare to twitter, facebook page is good for promoting product. it can be used to show the product information,
Never a bad idea, and seeing as to how facebook as gotten so popular as of late, definitely a strong means of marketing.
I don’t know if I agree or disagree with what you say as I’m not too sure on the subject by have to say this is very well written and I value you taking the time to post it.
