Facebook Like Optimization (FLO) can beat SEO

Facebook Like Optimization (FLO) can really beat SEO. Look at facebook ranking below from Alexa.com . At some countries, Facebook even beat giant search engines and at most countries, come out 2nd.


People do seo coz number one source for traffic is search engine. But since Facebook has changed this landscape, Facebook Like Optimization (FLO) is the alternative. Currently, the only FLO I can think of are these:

1. Content is power! And your title for Like should be tempting! Remember, in FLO, backlinks don't matter, how many people like your content is the main ingredient. Besides, you need constant Like. When 1 person click Like, he or she must able to get at least 1 of his friends to click Like too. If not, the cycle stops.
2. For blog, article etc, place your like at the end of your post. Dont put on top coz people read from top to bottom.
3. Dont't use dark color scheme when you are generating your button at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like . Make is as natural and as intuitive as possible.

Why No Adsense here?

1. Ethical issues. The nature of this blog seems to make people to click the ads (to support etc which I never ask). Which means it can draw fraud clicks. As an ethical Adsense publisher, I decided to leave it ads free.
2. Personal satisfaction. The main reason I made this blog not to make money. It’s for personal satisfaction and to give encouragement.
3. I don’t depend on this blog for money. I have other websites which make the money.
