Facebook Page Growth: 30-40% attributed to earned media

Facebook is really helping to close the gap between advertising and social media. It now gives brands the opportunity to incorporate and track both paid and earned media in the one place.

Doing some analysis over three Pages (The Contender Australia, Grinspoon, Vanessa Amorosi) I am currently working on I worked out that for every three people that join a Page through paid media, they will indirectly influence two friends within their network to join the Page via the suggestion box/highlight or news feeds of their friends pages.


Lode cash in on the indirect earned media 'Suggestions' spot


In my opinion Facebook is the only social platform that has an advertising model that is worth investing in. We are seeing some of the smart agencies in Australia pick up on this and really launch some big exciting campaigns through the platform Telstra Digital Mums (DDB), The Skinny Cow (Publicis Digital), 5 Seeds (Holler), and Lynx (SOAP).

Methodology: Since the upgrade to Facebook Ads in June 2009, they now give you action rates which is how many people become a fan directly from the ad. So subtracting this action rate number from your Page growth gives you the viral growth rate, I then made that number into a percentage (Grinspoon - 34%, Vanessa Amorosi - 39% and The Contender - 40%). I would love it if anyone else would like to share their stats

Great post Jules. I completely agree with you on the value of Facebook advertising.

I've seen similar growth patterns utilising a range of targeted Facebook ads for the pages I've been managing over the the past 4-6 months.

We've got an interesting case study in the pipeline to test this theory even further. Will let you know the results.

Matt Burgess said...

Would that also take into account growth from new fans coming from official sites? For example, Grinspoon have their Facebook page linked to off their official site. So you would think that would send a few new fans of the page that way, no? That might mess with the figures a bit?

Hey Andy, I am looking forward to hearing about the case study, I do not think there is enough sharing of people using Facebook Pages

Hey Matt, thanks for commenting on the blog. I think with the FanBoxes with Grinspoon only a very small percentage of people would of clicked through from the Page, it didn't get high traffic. However you are correct in suggesting that there would be things that we could not measure, such as people clicking on the Page and then becoming a Fan a day later not directly from the Ad.

Everybody[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+african+porno+movie.html]free african porno movie[/url] heard rumours [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/hardcore+porno+free.html]hardcore porno free[/url] about women[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+big+tits+free.html]porno big tits free[/url] faking orgasms. Is that true? The majority of women have [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/gay+porno+videos.html]gay porno videos[/url] faked at least one orgasm, yet some fake almost all of them. Why do they do that? There[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+video+directory.html]porno video directory[/url] are many reasons and the case is that there's [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/videos+gratis+de+porno.html]videos gratis de porno[/url] no one to blame.
The most [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+of+rap+stars.html]porno of rap stars[/url] common are two [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+vedio+porno+clips.html]free vedio porno clips[/url] reasons: they[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+gay+colombiano.html]porno gay colombiano[/url] don't want to make their partners feel bad [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+fre+gey.html]porno fre gey[/url] or they are tired and just want to end sex. Most females say that their partners ar[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+sites.html]porno sites[/url] e not satisfied until the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/hot+girls+porno.html]hot girls porno[/url] girls feels orgasm, there's only one way to make them feel happy and stop the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/cintia+clifford+porno+xxx.html]cintia clifford porno xxx[/url] exhausting procedure - fake.
Another [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/watch+you+jerk+online+free+porno+movie.html]watch you jerk online free porno movie[/url] reason is that a[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/www+free+porno+movies+.com.html]www free porno movies .com[/url] typical female [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/funny+gay+porno+tube.html]funny gay porno tube[/url] doesn't seek for orgasm; she desires a sexual [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/sexo+y+porno+mexicano.html]sexo y porno mexicano[/url] relationship only because she wants intimacy. Still, such an attitude may make her partner feel bad. [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+beastiality+porno+videos.html]free beastiality porno videos[/url] The only way out is to [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/retro+interracial+porno.html]retro interracial porno[/url] fake it out.
[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/anime+porno.html]anime porno[/url] Some women never really experience orgasm while making sex, but they want their partner to feel good about himself and her. Men usually expect women to have pleasure, that's why females have no other choice. They have to fake to have a good relationship.
Loss of interest, having sex only because the partner wants to, also makes women to fake. Most females talk to their friends about such things and while they know other women act it, they do so too, because it's an easier way to have a good relationship.
