Promotion in Facebook

Facebook is expanding all the time
Can I use it to raise PR of my site? if it is possible, how can I achieve it?
Please explain it in detail, i'm kind of a newbie (Don't just tell me to put more backlinks, tell me how)
Many thanks.

yes of course you should increase your web page rank by using facebook through SEO, like we done with our site.

No, links from facebook wont help you with PR as they are not visible in search engines. But it will help anyway so do it :)

The promotion in website means what is the income by that website or something other?

i don't follow that what are you asking here???
Facebook, PR both is different category.

Oh! Thanks. I guess so. It's a disappointing news for me.  Then I have to turn to some other platforms to raise the PR.

i personally think that facebook is used alot for increasing PR of a site

Facebook not useful for pr its only better for sit traffic 

Facebook is just for the short-term traffic, and probably for getting some clicks on the ads, nothing more! It cannot help the pagerank!

Face book will not be helpful to increase your site page rank. we can get more traffic and back links from social media networks. If you concentrate on increasing PR request you to do forum posting, article submission, social book marking and blog commenting.

Facebook increase the traffic in your website............

It could just be used to increase the site traffic, not helpful to add the PR of website

 Page Rank is different. With facebook you can increase the traffic for your site.
If you wish to increase your PR. Let me suggest something.
1. Participate in Forums. Most forums allows signature where you can place a link to your website. It will be better if the forum is related with your niche.
2. Submit to search engine directories. You can get a free link to your website with the use of Search Engine Directories. They also boost your chances at being listed higher on trendy search engines like Google. More links = high PR
3. Links from related websites. Obtaining links from related websites can be one of the most frustrating tasks you can attempt. One-way links are better than exchanging links with other sites.

 how to increase page rank by facebook , its so difficult thing.

FB backlinks are no-follow... they won't have direct effect on your PR.

You shouldn???t be too much worried about your website???s page rank. Google never felt that it was such a big factor in deciding rankings...You should be more after traffic and SERPs...And yes, Facebook can definitely help you get huge traffic and high SERPs.

To increase traffic from Facebook:
- Connect your page with your profile
- Create groups
- Participate in your niche related group
- Use existing applications or develop your own
- Publish quality wall posts
- Participate in discussiions with your audience
- Connect your twitter profile with your Facebook page
- Organize online contests
- Distribute coupons
- Use 'send' button on your profile
- Add Facebook widget on your website

Agree and I think this is the brilliant strategy to use for getting maximum traffic from Facebook.

Facebook is the largest social network in the world. It can help send traffic to your site for sure.

Facebook is often used for viral marketing, another way of mouth to mouth referral marketing method but at much greater speed and scale if is done correctly. Ultimately, is a traffic driver as for PR, from what I know it doesn't help.

yes through the traffic (visitors)

I am not sure about PR.. but you can drive great traffic .. that's possible!!

 I agree with Nikolas but you getting good traffic from face book but not back link and only back link is the main factor for PR .

i think in facebook they charge few $s for promotion. you can use twitter for better promotion

Hi, my answer is no, because, Facebook back links are No-follow and in the other hand we haven't able to get back links in bulk from Facebook.. Facebook is just use to get traffic and sharing your business with your friends.

yes, the best way to get traffic from fb is fan pages. Send an invite to all your friends, then update the status regularly with good content. The backlinks won't count in google crawls, but if you get traffic and sales, who cares?
