  Using Both PPC Advertising and SEO - The Power of Two

Lora Baker

Internet Marketing Specialist

Take a good look around and you will see that most fan pages and applications (even some high volume ones) are ghost towns, and an idle page or application on Facebook is like having no page at all. Anyone can create a Facebook page for their business, but having an active page is the ultimate goal.
