Having a Facebook page for your website is a very good idea to attract traffic. Learn how to create a Facebook page for website.
Facebook is the largest social media website and one of the biggest online platforms for interacting with the visitors. It is one of the best marketing strategy for attracting masses towards your website because when users ‘like’, ‘recommend’ or ‘share’ your website’s page, it is shown in their own network of contacts.
