I actually have my strongest presence on Facebook. I've recently reached out to other social media, but that's where I have the most clicks from still.

It felt really weird setting up my own "Fan Page", anything self-promotional feels pretty weird...

but I did it for exactly the reason your friend stated, having it pull the feed and automatically "promote" a post on facebook is so convenient and people can click over or not click over, but they are exposed to a reminder about your blog as they scroll through their updates...

Seems like a lot of friends and family view my blog through Facebook, but I have very few people that I personally don't know that have "liked" my blog FB page.  Twitter is by far the biggest for me and I have only been on it for 2 weeks.

That being said, I am pretty new to blogging and I need all the help I can get!

When I've checked my stats I've been surprised by how many clicks I get from facebook- it really is a big part of many people's lives I guess...

they say facebook and twitter are making the biggest impressions nowadays.  whatever happened to myspace?

The myspace thing...I know NOTHING about!! I think it was beyond my time (i.e. I was too old). My impression is that Facebook started out as the "grown up" version of myspace!

Okay, after reading all of this, I'm totally gonna do it!! Feel a little hyopcritical, after all my "negative blog fan page" talk...but it makes sense to me now!

Okay...so, as you can probably deduce, I try to maintain some sort of "anonymity" on my blog...how do I create a FB page that won't show my name when I "like" someone else?

I'm so confused. I tried to set up an entirely different account...but the way it is looking, I should just use my personal account???

What did you all do?! Help me!!

Earlier i had read the post where it is written that Facebook was the most searched term in 2010.

I agree!  I get a ton of hits from Facebook.  More than I expected!

I don't "like" a lot of blog pages on FB for that very reason!  If someone has a way for my real profile not to show when I "like" a page that would be GREAT!  I would love to "like" people using Mommy's Camera.
