Regarding FB advertisment
-
Hi team,
I have done FB advertisement for one of my website in UAE region and got 2023 website clicks and 24677 people reached. And the total amount spent was 3731.35 . But while checking the same details in website Google analytics for UAE region it is showing only 326 sessions. I have attached the FB & Google analytics performance screen shot with this mail
Please advice.It's very urgent

While I have nothing to add in regards to facebook ad cliks not showing up in Analytics, I do want to add caution that facebook, while produces a lot of clicks, impressions, likes and even website clicks, unless you have such a broad site that you can do the fly paper traffic tactic and lure some of those people in, I've found facebook's user base widely impulse driven rather than focus driven.
For broad niches this works well, for narrow niches it's a risk.

Google Analytics typically will filter out all of the "bots" and certain visitors to the site that they don't believe are real visitors. Also, there may be some traffic from Facebook that Google shows as having come directly to the site, rather than showing a direct referral.
Another potential issue is that your site may have been down at some point, and Facebook could have sent traffic but they could have received an error.
If you have any questions, though, you may want to get in touch with Facebook and show them your screen shot of the Google Analytics account. They may be willing to give you a credit for certain traffic to the site that was "fake" or "bot" traffic.

FB:admin tag, Who should it be set to?
I am trying to figure out fb:admin tag. I noticed that Moz uses a person's from hubspot, is this because hubspot connects into their facebook data? Who should my company set it to? Any guides would be helpful. Thanks, Chris

Trying to find a WP application (that does not require a FB application) that synchronizes website blog posts with a company facebook page
I'm not a developer and it's been about 5 years since I helped a client synchronize their wordpress blog posts with their FB page. I remember it being much simpler to do this in the past. However recently I'm noticing that all of the WP auto post applications require a Facebook application to get the synchronization to function properly.

Blog posts to G+ and FB?
Hi, I was wondering if we should be taking our blog posts and also putting them on social sites as well such as G+ and FB? If so, does content need to change to avoid a duplicate issue and if so is there a "rule" of sorts in terms of how much to change the content up? I was just wondering since we are already taking the time to put together these "stories" on our blog if our other channels would benefit as well?

Does adding a twitter or facebook feed to a website help rankings in regards of providing fresh content?
I have been asked if this is a sufficient way to provide fresh content to a website, however I am unsure if Google considers this as "fresh content", and I can't seem to come across a clear answer. Any thoughts?

Facebook Advertising Noob Question
Hello Mozzers, I have a noob question for which I have not been able to find a clear answer on the internet. When a client asks you how much would I have to spend on FB ads to get 100,000 fans how do you go about making a "media plan". I can understand you can calculate clicks using your budget and CPC but fans? Also, ad impressions on Facebook? FB doesn't even give that metric anymore on its default ad dashboard where you have campaign reach, social reach, CTR etc. So if a client wants 1Million Facebook Ad Impressions (I know, I know), how do you tell them how much its going to cost them. In a nutshell, clients want to know how much they should be spending to get x number of fans and impressions and vice versa, how many fans and impressions will $XXX get them. So how does one go about making a media plan for Facebook advertising, what do you include in it and well, anything else that I should know? Thank you, Rishad.

FB og: tags - why?
Hi everyone, Can someone explain the benefits of adding OG tags to a site? As far as I can see/read doing this 'enables a site to become part of the FB social graph' (or similar..) ...and that's what exactly? (confused smiley) Cheers.

Increasding the number of Tweets & FB Shares
Just asking for advice / strategy on increasing the number of tweets & Facebook shares to a particular domain. We're seriously lacking in this department and I'm not exactly sure how to get started as we're a B2B services company. We're languishing on page 2 of Google where all the other stats look good enough for us to be in the top 5, tweets and FB shares are 1 and 1 respectively. Any advice gratefully received - we also have a small budget set aside for an expert to provide a ranking strategy if anyone's interested. Many thanks in advance, Tony.
