Promote Your Presence On Facebook - Their Way

Writing by Brick Marketing on Monday, 14 of April , 2008 at 1:24 am

Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites at present with millions of pages created by dedicated users. If you have a presence on Facebook you may want to broadcast that to your website visitors.

Facebook makes that easy with badges that you can add to your website. However, there are pretty tight conditions attached to any promotion of your pages.

You are not allowed to use any logos or banners from Facebook apart from the approved badges. You can, however, take a screen shot of your page and reproduce that (unaltered) as a badge. When it comes to wording, you may not make any statements that could imply a Facebook approval of your website.

Terms such as “find us on Facebook” are ok whilst terms such as “see our Facebook page” are not allowed and Facebook will impose harsh penalties if you transgress.

They have even gone to the extent of asking that you include “Facebook is a registered trademark of Facebook, Inc.” wherever you link to Facebook. To quote from the Facebook page:

3) A registered trademark symbol ® must be included in all print / online displays of logo or wordmark that reference the Facebook brand.

However, if you have a page on Facebook and want to promote it, do it carefully according to their guidelines and you will not have any problems at all.
