Rhys says in his blog that facebook fan pages are a good way to drive traffic to your blog. Do you have a facebook fan page for your blog/site?

Rhys - in reality, how much traffic do you get from facebook - is it a significant amount?

You can read more about creating facebook fan pages in Rhys' blog:

I actually get a good portion of my visitors from my fb posts to my blog. At least, that's what G Analytics tells me.

By the way, my analytics page has suddenly started to display 0 visitors for the past month or so.. Any idea why? Is there like some kinda trial period or something that I've overlooked?

No, it sounds like there's a problem with the code - make sure the JavaScript is properly inserted in your blog.

I have a Facebook fan page for my site, and it's definitely helping even with just the few people who have joined it (though I'm going to be promoting it soon) - and my site's not even going to be open until February 13th.

Rhys - in reality, how much traffic do you get from facebook - is it a significant amount?


Over the last 3 months, Facebook has sent me about 150 visitors from the site to my blog. It is my 11th biggest referrer (behind Jemjabella in 10th & ahead of weblogtoolscollection.com - it'd be 10th if Jem hadn't posted the post about my poem!).

It's still a growing niche for me the fan pages. I'm a member of a couple of blogging forums & they have sent me a few links, plus this place is the one place I haven't got a link to it in the signature.

I've heard stories that facebook converts pretty well, and it shows as you build up a hugely relevant list. Let me explain.

I have 40 people on my fan page. That has sent me 153 people, which is roughly for each person visits 3 times. Comparing to Twitter (which sent me 623 visitors), only half of my 911 followers has visited my blog (in fact it's a lot less than that, due to retweets of links etc).

It's a rough science, but Facebook could be a great way to get an engaged audience to your blog. Certainly if you follow my tutorials!

I personally get the majority of my traffic from Facebook, but my blog is still new and it's not yet built momentum.

My page is very pretty though,  I used Rhys' tutorial to 'tart' it up:
