With 550 million users around the world, and counting, Facebook is one of today’s leading destinations influencing online identity, entertainment, and content distribution.
The current most popular facebook fan pages include those of Facebook itself (they own the page), Vin Diesel (surprisingly), Youtube (tube lovers), Coca-Cola (Mass brand) and the “Texas Hold’em Poker” (game freaks) pages.
Analyzing these facebook fan pages, one would notice that the top ranking Texas Hold’em Poker (game freaks), a social game rack up numbers so large it qualify as social network in itself. The 3th position of the best facebook fan pages belongs to the “Micheal Jackson” fan page, even though he’s late. Lady Gaga is at the 4th because of her online and offline popularity. This reflects reality.
One may derive the conclusion that most of the fans of the pages are followers in reality and are looking for promotional offers, coupons, updates, info on a product/service, social interaction with other followers(that’s what facebook is all about right).
Also, this list also reveals that social media marketing is being leveraged upon by both personal and corporate brands. The personal brands seems to outpace the corporate brands and cuts across categories such as actors, musicians(dead and living), rap and also a sport personality, Cristiano Ronaldo (who should still be the best player in the world).
To make it to the best facebook fan pages list ultimately you must create a fan page that is worthy of becoming a fan of. To do that your fan page must be useful, customized, informative and busy.
