Top TabSite Facebook Timeline Tips

TabSite integrates Timeline Tab Image Upload for all users

One of the benefits of the new Facebook Timeline for Pages layout is the much larger image call-out for each custom tab.  Previously, tab navigation was limited to text with a little 16 x 16 icon.

Now with Facebook's Timeline, each tab is represented by a large 111 wide x 74 high pixel image and TabSite has integrated the ability to load a custom image for each TabSite tab via the new TabSite Timeline Manager.

View of Custom Large Tab Image on a Facebook Page with Timeline:

View of TabSite Manager:  Under the Tab section, click on the pencil next to the tab name.  This reveals a drop down menu where you can select the "Edit tab logo 111 x 74"

The images you have uploaded for each tab large image area will appear in the TabSite Manager.

TabSite is pleased to offer this new Facebook Timeline convenience to all TabSite users.

EASY.    POWERFUL.   SOCIAL.   TABSITE.

Facebook's move to Timeline for Pages offers great marketing potential for brands!

Now with the new wider tab layout for each Facebook Page tab (810 px wide), there is essentially the space of a standard web page with each custom tab!

BONUS:  The benefit to all TabSite users is that you can easily publish your Facebook Page content to the web.  The TabSite tool  "MicroSites", now is essentially a website!  

Your Facebook Page Custom Tabs on the Web

Only TabSite gives you a website of your Facebook Page tabs!

This TabSite feature allows you to have another way to allow users to interact with your fan page custom tab content.

Access this tool in the TabSite Manager area!

TabSite gives every TabSite user the ability to turn your Facebook Fan Page into its own website (MicroSite.) 

Each comes with social sharing features and for Gold users an additional 3rd column content area.

KEY FEATURES OF THE TabSite "MicroSite" Website tool:

• Automatically pulls in your Facebook Fan Page logo image (top left image).
• Automatically pulls in the content from your tabs and sub-pages of those tabs
  
• Ability to secure a custom username url. Example: www.TabSite.com/yourname
• Fully indexable by Search Engines (not limited like iframe tabs on Facebook)
• SEO tools to help you optimize your content, including a Keyword Density Checker
• TabSite Gold Plan users also have a new, additional "Right Column" content area 
• The logo image and "Find Us on Facebook" are automatically linked to your Fan Page
• The header title allows visitors to "Like" your fan page from the MicroSite
• Available to all TabSite users

Simply look for the MicroSite button in the left navigation of the TabSite Manager to access your MicroSite tools and select your MicroSite username.

Why a MicroSite? 

Facebook custom fan page tabs are rendered by Facebook in a iFrame, thereby limiting the search indexing of content on the tabs.  This means your fan page custom tabs, using any application, are not reliably indexed by search engines.

To overcome this and make your fan page content more available across the entire web, we are taking your TabSite Fan Page tabs to the web and integrating features that allows visitors to "Like" your fan page from the website, go to your fan page from the website, and add value to your page by creating more inbound links to your fan page as well as adding easy-share tools to promote more viral sharing of your tab and sub-page content.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR URL: You choose your own custom URL, which are on a first-come-first-serve basis available first to paid plan users only at this time. 

SEO TOOLS for your TABS!  All MicroSites come with SEO Tools to customize page titles (H1) per tab/sub-page, add meta data, and evaluate keyword density at the click of a button! 

All paid accounts are AD FREE.  Paid users control publishing of their MicroSite and control which tabs and which Sub-Pages are published!  Yes, you can have a Tab on your fan page and not live on your MicroSite, and vice versa for more customization of your content sharing!  Yes, Fan-gating images work on your MicroSite as well!

Here are the MicroSite features associated with each TabSite plan:

Again, MicroSites are available to all TabSite users and there is no additional charge. Take advantage of the new Facebook Timeline 810 wide custom tab area.

TabSite is pleased to announce the release of a new manager area that flows with Facebook's new Timeline for Pages.  

The new manager is live in TabSite and is ready for users to build custom tab apps at the new 810 px width.  All existing content is available from current TabSite user tabs.  As the Facebook API for Timeline grows, we expect to be able to add more features to the TabSite manager area to give you more power to manage and control your fan page items from within TabSite.

We reviewed the new manager area in a recent TabSite webinar and you can view the demonstration excerpt below to learn about the TabSite manager area.
