A brief history of internet marketing
In the history if Internet marketing, perhaps the most radical innovation is Facebook’s Open Graph and “Like button” for websites.
Facebook is re-indexing the web around people
Every month, more than 10,000 new websites connect their content and visitors to the Open Graph via the Like button
Liking your web page triggers a Viral traffic loop
New traffic generates new “Likes” as the viral loop continues
The update is pushed to hundreds of friends’ Facebook newsfeeds, generating clicks back to your web pages.
Visitors click “Like” which generates a Facebook newsfeed message
Being Liked = being discovered

Putting like buttons on your web pages is easy…
… but are you doing much more than passing off all your customers
to Facebook?
Why should Facebook have better data on your customer’s Likes,
preferences and demographics than you, including the ability to
market to them based on those data?
Before experimenting with Like buttons…
… make sure you have the tools to:
Track how many new Friends you’re making across your web pages
Collect basic demographic data on Friends of your pages
Communicate relevant offers to Friends of your various web pages

• Make sure changes to Facebook’s API, protocols, and uptime, doesn’t affect your site
• Combine data and insights across multiple touch points (Facebook, web metrics, conversions)
