New Features: Facebook fan count & tweet this

We have a couple small updates to tell you about today.

Facebook fan count

We noticed that publishers have been actively building up their following on Facebook, and many of them have a very impressive following. Facebook fan pages have become yet another extension of a website and online brand. Therefore, it only makes sense for us to include Facebook fan counts as part of the public stats section on publisher buy now pages. To add your Facebook fan count to your buy now page, go to the Publisher Dashboard > Edit Site, and add your fan page URL. Go back to the Publisher Dashboard, click on “update stats” and your fan count will appear on your buy now page.

The hat tip for this idea goes to Adriana of Scene360. Thanks Adriana!


Tweet This

To help promote ad space, publishers will often tweet links to their BSA buy now page. When done in moderation, this can be a great way to make sure your Twitter followers are aware of the ad space for sale on your site. We wanted to make this easier for publishers by providing a shortened link for each buy now page. On the Publisher Dashboard, each site has its own http://bsa.ly/[key] link that goes to the buy now page and a link to tweet about it.

    Great new features! Though I don’t have any proof that FB fans count affects advertisers in any way, to see another big number on the stats surely feels good. ^__^

      Yup, I agree about FB.
      When advertisers see a big juicy number, they know it’s a good potential.

    Facebook fan count is a nice addition as it will give more idea to advertisers about how popular that blog is on social media sites.
    Good work..

    I’m hoping to see an option for backup tags some day..
    That will be very useful…

    I love the Tweet button because I am able to share my BSA with my followers from time to time! this one is really awesome!

    Is it worth just adding fans which maybe not be useful like they never share your page links etc. Does the number of fans increase help in making site more popular.

    Wow, its the great news that social sites profile pages can be used as commercial to a certain extent. Thanks for sharing this great info.

    More features added, more ads sold and advertisers are more confident to pay for ads spot too. Thanks

    Definitely good new features, Todd. More info on the website means advertiser would not exert too much effort for due diligence on their part. :)
