The ever growing popularity of social media sites has opened new ways for web site owners to promote traffic and drive new visitors to their site. With Facebook being by far the most popular, we thought it would be great to allow you to use it to build your site even further by allowing members to login through their Facebook account and show ads they post on their wall.
The new version of webClassifieds allows you to do just that, by integrating with Facebook Connect.
This integration has two major features. First, Facebook Connect will allow your members to login and automatically create their account using their Facebook login information. This cuts down on registration times, and will reduce abandonment rates for visitors who don’t want to fill out yet another registration form. All they’ll have to do is simply click the Facebook Connect button, authorize Facebook to connect to your site, and that’s it!
The second major feature, which we’re really excited about, is the ability to integrate with each person’s Facebook wall or activity feed. Whenever an ad is posted on your site, a copy of the ad will be posted to that persons wall so that all of their friends can see that they’re selling an item! This is a fantastic way to build your brand recognition, and make your site go viral. If one person with 100 friends posts an ad, 100 people automatically see it and your site. That means they learn of your site’s existence, and are that much more likely to register next time they have to buy or sell something.
