Facebook promoted posts. I don't know whether to be grateful or annoyed. I'm sure rumors will start circulating that Facebook is starting to charge pages to post, so I figured I'd get ahead of the rumors. Is Facebook going to start charging pages to post to their own fans? The short answer to this question is: NO. Facebook pages are free for businesses to use just like they always have, and it's free to post updates to those that like your business page.

I definitely did a happy dance when I learned about the new Scheduled Posts feature that Facebook is rolling out for pages that allows page administrators to post up to 6 months into the future. One of the trickiest things up until now for page administrators to manage was to be present on Facebook at the same time as their audience. Especially since time decay (a component of EdgeRank) helps to determine how many people will see your post.

Marketing is a hit or miss proposition in the world of the QSR industry and sometimes you're better off saving the money you'd spend on advertising campaigns and use it other worthwhile projects such as installing brand new storefront signs. At least you know you'd be getting your money's worth with the new signs compared to a marketing blitz for your QSR franchise if the campaign were to be deemed a dud.

I am loving the new Post Analytics feature that Facebook rolled out for Facebook Pages this week. I'm sure Facebook added it so that more people will buy Promoted Posts, but it is very helpful for page owners in a lot of ways. And what's great is the Post Analytics display in close to real time, so you immediately have a sense of how many people are seeing your message.

I was surprised at the advice the "old guy" on the panel, Jay Goltz of The Goltz Group, gave to this business owner. He essentially said to hand over the social media tasks for your business to a college intern, and seemed to imply that using social media for marketing is a waste of this business owner's time. Judging by his own website and social media presence (or lack thereof), he has taken his own advice.

Breaking News: Facebook is launching Facebook Camera, a new mobile app, that looks eerily similar to Instagram, the company that they recently purchased for $1 billion. Why would Facebook purchase Instagram and then launch their own similar application? I'm thinking they might have purchased Instagram prior to launching the app so they have a full monopoly on all camera applications, and to use their technology.

If you own a QSR franchise that isn't expected to compete with the McDonald's' or Dairy Queens' of the world then it might be time to motivate the troops by saying you're not afraid to take on your more heralded competition head on. This has been a successful strategy we've implemented with our franchise clients. The quick-service industry thrives on competition and if you don't have the stomach to compete with the multi-national corporations then you might be in the wrong industry.

LinkedIn is the social network for business professionals and networking. With 161 millions members to date, it's one of the most popular social networks to date. Are you using it to its fullest potential? While we hear a lot about Facebook and Twitter for lead generation, LinkedIn can be just as good, if not better, if you spend a little bit of time optimizing your profile.

From Google's perspective it is imperative for Google to provide the most relevant results based upon the user's query. And every update and major algorithm change is done with that concept in mind. That being said the old concepts of keyword density really do not hold to be true any longer.
