Facebook Page Profile – Part 4

Facebook Page Profile – Part 4

The Recommendation Plugin

The Recommendation Plugin is a great interactive plugin for sites with lots of content. Just as Facebook will recommend items you may want to like or follow, this plugin will suggest content on your website to your visitors based on their interests. This is great because you get straight to the point and grab your audience’s interests right away.

If the user does happen to be logged into their Facebook account at the time of viewing your site and having this plugin running, then it will actively base content off of their Facebook data. If they are not, then the plugin bases it off of social interaction with URL’s from your site.

It’s also important to remember one important aspect of this plugin. You must specify a domain and it must be EXACT. This is important because if you place a domain of facebook.com, it will not load recommendations from www.facebook.com (as an example). If you do not make note of this, you will not have the full experience that this plugin can offer.

The Registration Plugin

The Registration Plugin allows users to register on your site with their facebook login. When they are logged into their Facebook account a user’s information will be preloaded into as many of the fields as possible, making registration as simple as a single click at times.

If you want to collect more information however, Facebook also allows the flexibility to create custom fields for this form (if needed). You are also able to use the same form if someone is not a Facebook user without them needing to sign up.

The real benefit of this plugin is the ability to have users register with as little effort as possible.

Moving away from plugins we will look into some of Facebooks other features next week.
