be likeable Likeable “ Like”able 11/01/10

As of October 2010, over 2 million sites have added Facebook’s Like Button
ABC News saw a 200% increase in referral traffic from Facebook simply by incorporating the Like button, and a 50% increase from Twitter and Digg by adding the Like It, Tweet It, Digg It Plugin
“ like” is the new link

Social Searching: Consumers trust friends above experts…do they trust friends above search?
The Like Button reorganizes social search on the web, emphasizing SMO and changing SEO forever.
“ like” is the new link

what does it mean to be likeable?
Being “Likeable” is doing the right thing for your customers, publicly and privately.
Being “Likeable” is creating content that is apt to generate response, getting increased likes and comments, and increasing your social visibility.

in a recent study on responsive updates conducted by Likeable Media where...
Status updates that pose a question or challenge directly to fans (ex: “what’s your favorite type of flower?” or “fill in the blank: summer is _____”) 
Status updates that ask fans to “like” it (ex: “Like this status if you’re ready for the weekend!”)
Status updates that announce winners of a Facebook-hosted contest or sweepstakes (ex: “Congrats to Devin Sugameli, winner of a $25 gift card from us!”)
“ Everything else” – all remaining status updates that didn’t fit any of the above categories.
11/01/10

Likeable Media found the following…
In 100% of cases, engagement rates for “other updates” were below the overall average.
In 100% of cases where applicable, engagement rates for posts that asked fans to “‘Like’ this” were up to 5.5 times (on average 2.7x) higher than those for “other updates”.*
In 9 out of 10 cases, status updates that posed a question directly to fans were up to 6 times (on average 2x) as engaging as “other updates”.
*On one page, we found a “like this” update that was actually 26.6 times more engaging than “other updates”. 11/01/10
