Great work folks!

Well on the way to 700 Stampboard likes on Facebook.

Only takes a second, and it helps build our ranking big time.

I do like it, and I would "like it", but I already have... so it's just the thought that counts

Global Administrator · Mon Oct 08, 2012 23:46:29 pm

Catweazle - many thanks - maybe add up a new thread link on there, to keep things bubbling along?

I don't "like" very often, but this is a no-brainer. I am number 578, I think!

I too have 'Like'd it

ScanStamps · Post by **ScanStamps** » Sun Nov 11, 2012 17:42:37 pm

Just went and "liked" it... because... well... I DO like it.

So... do you only want people from here to "like" it... or ANYone interested in stamps, from anywhere?

Being very naive and not a facebook user, what does this achieve? (This is a serious question.)

Hi Chris,

I'm sure Glen will have an answer for this however from a 'Digital Marketing' perspective (which I'm supposed to know about :lol:

) the growth of Social media is key to the success of a website.

Google being the predominant search engine in most English speaking countries (95% of all search in the UK) decides through its algorithm where to place websites, depending on the query string you put in. One of the elements it considers is how many people are linking to the site and from where.

For some time now people in the industry have been noticing that sites with a bigger and better social profile i.e. more followers on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc. appear to be getting slightly better placings in the search results. Social is seen by some as a better and more reliable metric of who likes a site (rather then just counting the number of links back to a website, which can be bought for pennies these days) as in the majority of cases one person has one social profile on Facebook, Twitter etc. and therefore it's harder to 'fake' the number of likes.

So the ultimate answer would be that the more likes you get on social the better the search engines may perceive your site to be and therefore the higher up the rankings you will go.

Or of course it could just be that Glen wants to get more followers than Lady Gaga and Barack Obama :lol:

Thanks very much, Jon. I am getting old and increasingly cynical and this just reinforces my negative perception of Google. I am finding Bing more useful generally these days but I suppose this works the same way. One day I will find a search engine that I actually "like".

Those have all gone broke, as no-one except the you's of the world used them.

google is the only game in town, which is why we do so well, as we understand that simple reality. :idea:

100s of members have linked their own websites and blogs to us here for the same reason - we BOTH benefit from that -

You can also "TAG" any photos you post on FB with http://www.stampboards.com/ or the FB stampboards friend itself. The link will come up every time you move your cursor over it, and stampboards will be listed in the area where you push like and ect.! Every time you post a picture of Stamps or just a picture at your leisure this WILL help to promote Stampboards. :wink:

Hi all,

I've liked on Facebook and think that I'm the 700th ...

... but another member has the same result ... how is it possible ?

Have a good day
