Facebook Fan Page Tips and Tricks

The Facebook Like Button

Everything you need to know about the Facebook Like button.

Of all the social sharing buttons the Facebook "like" button is by far the most well recognized and probably the most effective.

The Like button lets visitors to your website or blog share content with friends on Facebook. When someone visits your site and clicks on the "Like" button on your site, a blurb appears on the users personal Facebook wall (their News Feed) - and with a link back to your website.

There are two kinds of Like button implementations

1. XFBML and

2. Iframe.

The XFBML (also available in HTML5-compliant markup) version is more versatile, but requires use of the JavaScript SDK. The XFBML dynamically re-sizes its height according to whether there are profile pictures to display, gives you the ability (through the Javascript library) to listen for like events so that you know in real time when a user clicks the Like button, and it always gives the user the ability to add an optional comment to the like. If users do add a comment, the story published back to Facebook is given more prominence.
