Re-arranging your Facebook Sidebar Blocks


Making the Most of the New Facebook Sidebar 
Yes, Facebook has changed the layout of the Business Pages yet again. While some of you have had the new, single stream layout for a while, almost everyone has now been converted so this should be the new norm, at least until the next round of changes!

I personally LIKE the new layout, preferring this to the two column version which I found confusing and hard to follow. Another thing that I like is that they have brought back the sidebar! For those of you who have been on Facebook for a few years, both the sidebar and single stream format will be familiar.

What is now different is how the content is laid out in the sidebar and how you can re-arrange some of this content.

Since the sidebar is always visible (the top portion when you land on a page and the lower portion as you scroll through the posts), I suggest that you consider re-arranging the blocks to make the most of this new real estate.

While the first two sidebar sections are FIXED, displaying your "People" and "About" sections, you CAN re-arrange the rest of the blocks. If you have any apps, like a newsletter sign up or a promotional tab, I highly recommend shifting the 'Apps' section up so it will be more visible. I also suggest that you change the images on these tabs to be a bright color and/or an eye catching image so that people will actually see and click on the tabs.

Facebook Business Pages  
To be honest, I rarely visit someone else's Facebook Business Page after I LIKE it. I just watch for their posts in my news stream. If I haven't seen any news from someone in a while or if I am interested in seeing what they are up to, I will search for them and check out their page but this is not something I do daily. Statistics show that this is quite common.

I am curious - how often do YOU visit other people's Facebook Business Pages? Please click on the link below to take the one question poll. Your feedback is greatly appreciated - Thank You!!
