How to invite email contacts to like your Facebook, LinkedIn

what message to write to invite email contacts to like your Facebook, LinkedIn
-
1. If your contacts know you enough (you know them personally or they have opt in to your newslettet) you can send them a newsletter type email (with some regular content) and link to yoour facebook to join. This will work if they see your name and recall "yes, I know this enitity"
2. If you are not that close to your contacts, use your email list as remarketing list and advertise on facebook to show your advt (which will ask them to like your facebook page). Even though it is paid, it can be very effective. Not many people realize that their email list has lot of throw away email addresses, email to which no one reads. With this solution atleast you are paying for ads only when your audience engages.

If it's someone from high school or my early work career, where they would have known me under my maiden name, I send them a note and let them know who it is. Otherwise, I personally only do friend / connection requests with people that I know will know who I am.
When I get a LinkedIn request from someone I don't know (and we have no connections in common, I have no community history, etc.) I'll report them as spam. When I get it from someone who might be familiar, I ask them to remind me how we know each other.
In short: be personal and don't spam.

Facebook Contest: Fan or Not?
Let's say that I manage a Page for a company, and I run a contest through a "Promoted Post". Does every single Like to that "Promoted post" will be counted as new fan? My objective is to increase the fans number of the page, which is your best practice to achieve that through a Facebook contest? Many thanks.

Explanation of Facebook referral paths in Google Analytics
In the past month I have seen a huge increase in the visits + conversions from Facebook (which is obviously great). However, from Google Analytics it appears that most of my visits are not coming from my brand page. Is there an explanation of what these referral paths mean? Top Facebook referral paths: / /l.php /home.php /ajax/emu/end.php /brand - much less visits than above URLs

Best Way to Build up Likes
Hello, What's the best ways to build up "Likes" on Facebook. A friend of mine wanted to buy likes and I'd like to give him an alternative. We're in the personal development training industry. We have a nice website 110 Likes No twitter or Google+ large number of past customers. The strategies have to be very non-abrasive as our fan base really cares a lot about us. In other words, it's not the kind of audience you can send mass messages to or do anything that would seem like sales or advertising. Thanks!

Google does not index individual facebook posts often?
It looks like google (regular organic) does not index individual posts from facebook pages often, more likely the wall of the page itself or separate pages. Can someone confirm this?
