How to Promote a Facebook Group

Recently I created a Facebook group,  a group in the “just for fun-totally pointless” category. You can see it and join if you like here: 1 Billion People. Anyway, the subject of this post is not my pointless group, it is how to promote a Facebook group.

After I created the group, I invited some of my friends that could be interested in joining, and some of them joined. However, the number of members did not grow in two days any further and I started searching ways to promote my Facebook group.

There are lots of info and tools on how to add friends to your Facebook account, some of them white hat and some of them black hat; however, there are not much things you can do to promote your Facebook group. If you have a big follower base in any platform like your own blog or social websites such as Twitter and MySpace it is easy to promote such things. Else, you need to find other means to promote your online existence, in this case your Facebook group.

I found a website called Facebook Bay, and what it does is simply promote your Facebook group, at least as they claim. When I came across this site, I thought about that there is always a clever person who finds what people need and finds an answer or solution to that. I applaud such people.

So, what does Facebook Bay do? It is a community site with members who have Facebook groups and once you join, it asks to join any one of those groups in return of promoting your group. In this way, when another person joins the site Facebook Bay, they will see your group and join if they like. Although this is not a too bright idea, I guess it may help me promote my group. I cannot tell how strong they are as I am new to the site. I will update this post once I get some people to my group.

Fast Domain Name Checker Tool

I use Namecheap for my domain registrations and I was using it to check domain names after my keyword research. The domain checker on their website was a little slow and since I was checking a lot of domains I needed a faster tool. I know they have a bulk search tool and I use it for bulk checks , however it doesn’t fit to what I exactly needed.

After a simple Google search, I came across this simple but fantastic website that does domain checks almost instantly, Fast Domain Checker. I don’t know who owns that website and I am aware that it is a made for Adsense site, however, it really helps me in my domain research. You can check it if you are also looking for a simple and fast domain name checking tool.

EDIT:

After a little more search I found a better site, Instant Domain Search, that allows you to check three top level domains (.com, .net, .org) almost instantly. Well, this is absolutely better than the tool I mentioned before.

EDIT 2:

I found another site that allows you to bulk domain research really fast and there is no limits on the number of domains you can check at once. You can see the site here: Bulk Domain Check. This will absolutely speed up my keyword-domain research process. At the moment it seems to work right. Though it does not include .net and .org results on the result page, you need to click on to show more details.

EDIT 3: As I refine my search I find better and faster tools that offer bulk domain research. This one shows .com, .net and .org domains on the result page and that was exactly what I needed. Also it does not have a limit on the number of domains per check. I hope it works correctly, anyway I will be checking results with Namecheap time to time. Here is the link: Registrar Stats.
