81Business Page Vs Groups Vs Community
Pageso Pages can only be for a
real organization, business, celebrity, or band
o Must be created by an official representative of that entity
o Pages are public. Anyone can become a fan. Administrator can remove fans
o Can create events and send invites, register, etc.
Groupso Groups can be created
by any user and about any topic
o Groups are a community of users to share their opinions and interest in the group’s subject
o Groups can be kept closed (invitation only)
o Can create events and send invites, register, etc.
Groups largest value is the community aspect of a “group” engaging together on a common theme
Community Pageo Wiki style page of
information centered around keyword or phrase
o Aggregates posts across Facebook
o While you can create a community page, Facebook determines if there is enough volume to support it and controls the image

Successful Facebook advertising requireso Targetingo Creativityo Experimentationo Monitoring
marketingpower.com
85Some Notable Differences between Facebook Ads and Google AdwordsThere is more competition on Google than
Facebook… Google Adwords is keyword and geo targeted where as Facebook advertising is demographic, geo targeted and allows targeting according to profile attributes
You can steadily bid up on Google to increase your ad position along top and side whereas Facebook ads only display along one side (currently)
Google Adwords are text ads, Facebook ads are text and image.
Facebook generally allows more targeted advertising, but is more B2C centric currently.
