The TabSite Contest Suite of tools allows Facebook Page Admins to run interactive contests on their Facebook fan pages. Page Admins can run either Photo, Video, or Content/Essay Contests.
To date this allowed Facebook Page Admins to create contests where fans submit entries for others to vote on.
TabSite is now pleased to announce the release of a new tool within Contests allowing Facebook Page Admins to add only their entries for users to vote on. This new feature gives Admins ability to run a contest where visitors vote on entries setup by the Page Admin.
Page Admins: Showcase your own entries for fan voting!
Perfect for offering fan voting on new products and to get visitor input on your offerings.
Add your company images or videos and have fans vote on which they like best!
This versatile tool allows Facebook Page Admins to implement contests in a variety of ways. For example, a company could test which flavor or ice cream users want you to create by uploading images of each flavor and running voting on those items.
- Boost engagement and sharing
- Drive visitors to your Page to vote
- Get buy-in from users by allowing them to select what you offer next!
Available now in the Contest Widget within TabSite Gold Plans and above.

TIMELINE COVER IMAGES ARE A MAJOR POINT OF FOCUS for visitors coming to a Facebook Page! See the eye-tracking data report below.
111 x 74 CUSTOM TAB LOGO IMAGES that drive users to custom tab apps from the Timeline page (built with tools like TabSite) are the #2 MOST LIKELY VIEWED location after the Cover Image. Are you adding custom images?
Update BOTH from within the TabSite Manager!
Recent research reported by Mashable involving eye-tracking software on Facebook Pages revealed that the new Facebook Timeline Cover Image is a very important piece of "real estate" as it is the key focal point for new visitors coming to a Facebook Fan Page.
Page Admins will want to be keenly aware of the value of their Timeline Cover image as it is the critical brand introduction to those coming to your Facebook Page. Below is a eye-tracking map of the Dallas Cowboys Facebook Page Timeline Cover image.


TabSite already allows users to update the 111 x 74 custom tab app image in the TabSite Manager. Now, TabSite has also integrated the ability to update your Facebook Page Timeline Cover Image as well. We show you a thumbnail of your existing image in each case and allow you to upload a new image to replace it.
Making Facebook Marketing easy, that's TabSite! Use these Facebook Timeline tools to showcase images and use the eye-tracking key focus areas to your advantage! Try the Free 14 Day Trial of TabSite today!

Below is further data from the Mashable report on the percentage of visitors who looked at each part of the Timeline Cover Page. Note the significant percentages on the Cover image and the Large Custom App Tab images. 88% of the time users viewed the Tab icons versus 26% in the old Facebook layout.

ALERT! If you are still using Facebook's old FBML tabs for your Facebook Business Page, now is the time to make the change to a current tool like TabSite.
In September 2011, Facebook announced that:
The final official end date when all FBML tabs will cease to work and will be removed from Facebook by Facebook is set for June 6, 2012.

So the time has come for those last holdouts to fully transition to iFrame tabs and depart from FBML coding completely, and TabSite is an ideal alternative!
If you have tabs on your Facebook business Page with the logo shown below, you'll want to make a change!

History and Information for Fan Page Admins
4 Summary Points:
1. What is FBML and why do I care?
The answer is that you don't need to care unless you were using FBML on your Facebook Fan Pages.
If you fall in the group that doesn't need to care because you don't have any FBML tabs on your fan page, then feel free to skip down to number 2!
FBML
FBML is Facebook’s original framework for serving custom content on fan page tabs. This content is served by Facebook, which, in short, means the user’s browser never hits the app developer’s server directly. Instead, Facebook requests the content from the app developer’s server, parses and filters it, and sends it to the browser for display. The result was content served by Facebook on custom tabs.

Facebook's Static FBML App
Facebook's Static FBML app was an application provided by Facebook that enabled the creation of FBML based Facebook page tabs. To use the application, page admins simply added the app to their page, and then customized the content by coding using FBML code language.
Again, FBML tabs will NO LONGER WORK on Facebook Pages beginning June 1, 2012.
2. What is Facebook's preferred method for adding custom tabs to Fan Pages?
iFrame Apps like TabSite
iFrame Apps are Facebook’s accepted framework for serving content on fan page tabs. Content is served directly by the developer’s server, rather than being proxied by Facebook’s servers. Because the page is hosted externally of Facebook, it can render HTML, CSS and even Javascript just like any external website does, which was not the same with FBML. iFrame Apps were launched in March of 2011 and are the standard set by Facebook for Page tabs.
All TabSite fan page tabs use iFrame Apps.
3. I'm not a coder and yet I want a nice, custom fan page. What should I do?
TabSite is a great solution for businesses wanting to easily customize their fan page without learning to do any coding. With a easy to use drag-n-build system, TabSite is easy to navigate and has a full suite of widgets and tools including ability to:
- Add Videos,
- Run Contests and Sweepstakes
- Add/Edit Content easily
- Create Photo SlideShows
- Add Facebook Social Plugins
- Embed E-mail Sign-up forms
- Add your Blog and Twitter feeds
- Create a fan-gating mechanism with our Like-Gate tool
- iFrame in your website
- and much more!
4. June 1, 2012, FBML ceases to work. Now is the time to changeover to a solution like TabSite.
