2 Major Facebook Additions to Dnforum - 1 Will help your sales!

[Adam Dicker]

1) You will notice a Facebook Connect icon beside your username in the grey menu bar.

Click that and then you will have the option to post any of sales threads to your Facebook account automatically by clicking the post top Facebook checkbox before you hit the post button.

This feature helps youget the word out to all of your Facebook friends that you have a domain name for sale and has already converted one sale for me during testing.

This also benefits the forum as your friends may be curious and come check out dnforum.com so this is Win-Win.

You can also click your PM's which will take you to your PM page, then on the right side bar click Edit Connections and you can connect to facebook there as well.

2) We have designed a VBulletin Facebook Application so that you can now browse Dnforum.com right from Facebook by going to this link:

https://apps.facebook.com/dnforumcom/

Note: For this to work you must have completed step 1 above to link your DNFourm and Faceboook accounts together.

PS, I published this to my Facebook account

Getting more exposure has never hurt anyones domain business.

Get on Facebook and you will get increased business.

If you use it to make sales your tune will change, mine has.

The more exposure for your names or business, the better it is for your traffic.

Facebook is like your in-laws: you can't get rid of them whether you like it or not. It's definitely the way people communicate in the many years to come (along with Twittter). My take is to get on board, better sooner than later.

I followed the steps to link to my FB account. But then when I logged into FB, there was a message saying my page was unpublished (it had been published months ago). I clicked on "publish my page" and discovered that all my posts (except the very first one) were gone, as were all my likes (it now shows 0). Any thoughts? I can only assume this is somehow related to my setting up the link to FB from DNForum.

Completely unrelated to the dnforum application.

Hmmm

FB is not the place in my opinion unless you are a Celebrity like Adam Dicker, the rest of us do not just add friends on our FB list to market to! Our friends and family are not interested in domains or understand the value of domains.

True - that's why I have two separate FB accounts, one personal and the other for my domain activities.

FB harms more people then it helps. 10-20 years from now all these young kids will be judged on what they published on their walls. Kids make mistakes, your privacy is violated in every way.

@randomo Facebook actually does NOT allow multiple accounts, and their so-called "business accounts" are not exactly useful.

With all due respect, it's not really Facebook that sucks or hurts, it's the world we're living in that has already changed, so much (and so quickly) that many of us (incl. myself) are not exactly comfortable with. But the reality is, privacy as we knew was gone. Information is flowing around unlike when we were kids, and there's simply no going back. I for one choose to adapt instead of being left behind.

Really? So you can't have a FB page for your business and another for your personal life? Hard to believe ... or at least hard to believe anyone would pay heed to such restrictions. (They encourage people to set up business pages; does that mean they're implying those people should delete their personal accounts?)

No, Facebook only allows 1 single personal account, but you are able to create many "pages". For example, I even help manage my clients' pages (they only need to pick me from their list of "fans" and name me as an administrator). Hope this helps.

OK, everything got restored. Apparently this is a known issue - when some types of administrative changes are made, data disappears and takes a while to reappear.

Adam you are a celebrity in our industry and if you run for President in the Virtual World you will have supporters the rest of us are Domainers and not DOT COM GODS!

Adam is one of us now. He has humbly stepped out of his DotComGod moniker. Get your facts straight!
