What is the facebook recommended profile picture
(logo) size for better SEO Marketing / Few basic Facebook marketing
tips
I hate facebook, from the deepness of my guts! However,
unfortunately in one of the companies I'm employed, occasionally I
have to use it as an advertisement media to improve the Search
Engine visibility for their websites (gather them some more likes).
As a not big lover of
facebook, I'm also not a facebook-pro,
anyways with this circumstances, I'm starting to learn
basic
tips on, making a facebook page / profile more user friendly
and hence more attracting to facebook users.
From what, i"ve read there are
plenty of factors that can
affect on
how attractive a facebook page / company profile ,
anyways some of the factors are more important to tamper than
others. Such two factors of top importance are:
- Likes of pages, which are liked by thousands of hundreds or
millions of people
- Belongings to groups / Membering to big groups (consisting of
thousands)
which hold similar interest or business activity
- Profile picture logo dimensions
Let me evaluate a bit on each of the three aforementioned fb
marketing weight factors.
1. Using Page likes for popularization
Lets say that you would like to make marketing to a company
websites which is involved in Financial or Investment market.
Enter with the company created page or profile and facebook and
think for and search for as many keywords related to the company
business as possible. Check each of the results if the Page /
Group is liked by hundred thousands of other people, then just
give it a like too.
By doing so for a couple of seconds all this (hundred thousands or
millions) of people who has also liked it will see for a second (or
less), what hangs on your Facebook profile ;)
The chance someone gets interested into what is your profile saying
here is high especially if this pops up to a some 100 000+ of
logged people who previously liked a fb page :)
2. Joining groups as a way to drive more visitors to a facebook
profile
Joining big groups consisting ot thousands or millions's logic is
the same like with the page likes. The only difference is some
groups are kept private the so called (Closed Group).
Finding a number of similar (Open Groups) to your company
activities and joining them will possibly display your company
facebook profile to as many profiles as the group has.
Most of the groups are not too active therefore joing groups as a
way to drive attention of facebook users to a desired profile is
not so efficient as with Page Likes
Adjusting a profile picture logo dimensions to a wide
skyscraper
It might seem ridiculous but actually the size of profile picture
set to pages or profiles in facebook matters, different profiles
dimensions could have impact on Page Likes :)
I've realized this after, I've red few articles online on the same
topic along with that I've noticed many big brand pages on
Facebook like for instance BMW (Cars) with over 8 000
000 of likes, Adidas and Nike - with over 6 000 000 likes, have set
up this wide skyscraper dimensions logos.
Here is a crop taken displaying the wide skyscraper profile picture
set by BMW cars.
The profile picture used by BWM (cars) has an image dimensions of:
180x500 heigh x width
Adidas's profile logo has a size of 180x489.
Nike uses a bit of unstandard 390x720 (but while uploaded
facebook website automatically crops the image to a size which is
fittable for a wide skyscraper) with dimensions like
(200x400)
Another franchising company with big likes base, I've seen is
McDonald's with 19 900 000+ likes! again with a banner
logo consisting of wide scraper with picture dimenions (180x439 -
height / width )
There are some comparatively big user base facebook pages, like
Ubuntu's non-profit organization with 555 000+ thousands of likes,
and their logo has dimensions of 180x181 pixels
Not all of the highly liked (visited) facebook pages however use a
wide skyscraper as a profile logo and still has enormous number of
likes. One contrac-example which does show that there is no clear
relation between facebook profile picture dimensions and page
popularity (number of likes) is Metallica (Musician/Band)
fan page - (http://www.facebook.com/Metallica), which as of the
time of writting this article has the UNIQUE HIGH NUMBER of
23,725,897 LIKES! :)
As far as, I've further red on many blogs, there aretwo general
facebook standard banner profile picture recommendations
One is facebook square like profile picture (this is the classics),
if you just place a picture that is not too wide automatically
facebook upload scripts will tailer the picture to have dimensions
like:
180x180 pixels
The other recommended facebook pictures size is the wide
widescraper and it should possess an image dimensions size similar
to: width x height: 180x500 pixels
This is pretty much, few basics which can easily gather a custom fb
company Page Likes, as facebook is really big nowdays facebook
marketing has advanced tremendously. I'll be glad to hear some cool
tips & tricks you know which can help a facebook page / profile
popularity rise up :)
Looking forward to hear for your good or bad facebook experiences
:)
