Change your facebook business page address to facebook/yourbusinessname
No comments · Posted by Chris Agro in Facebook Tips
Here’s an interesting tidbit I just learned about Facebook pages. According to Facebook, you now have the ability to change the user name associated with a page. So instead of dealing with that extremely long URL that they associate with your page, you can have your page associated with a username. In my case, the url for my facebook business page would be: “facebook.com/agrotising”. Only requirement is that you have at least 25 fans of your page.
Help me and I will help you!
As of this posting I have 18 fans of my facebook business page. If you add yourself to mine I will do the same for you! Let’s work together to get rid of those ugly URLs! Visit my (current) facebook business page address by clicking here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Agrotising/269036895087#!

Issuu – You Publish
No comments · Posted by Chris Agro in What's Hot in Print Design, What's Hot on the Internet
I just love the Internet and all it has to offer. Case in point, I am reading up on facebook, so far I have found two good sites for learning best practices for creating and marketing a business facebook page (more on that in future posts). While I was on one of the sites, I was reading this cool online book, you have probably seen them before, looks like a book spread showing 2 pages at time, click to advance to the next set of pages. Anyway I notice there is a link which takes me to the site Issuu – You Publish., turns out anyone can create and publish their own virtual book just by uploading it to this service. I haven’t read all about it but it seems very cool. I am sure that one day I will take advantage of this and wanted to share my finding with all of you.

Building websites that get better results
No comments · Posted by Chris Agro in Social Media Marketing, What's Hot on the Internet
I learned of three new websites tonight that will undoubtedly make me a better Designer. The first is ABtests.com.
ABtests.com is a website that displays how making subtle changes in the design a web page influences how visitors act on what is being offered (ie: conversion rates). The site has screen shot samples of Before and After designs with detailed explanations, conversion rate increase percentages and a summary they call “Results Hypothesis” where they explain what was changed and why they feel it increased the response rates. They even have popular categories like “Sign-Up pages” and “Home Page” so you can see example of what interests you.
The second site is bokardo. As their website states, bokardo provides “Interface Design & Consulting for Social Web Apps. We provide design, evaluation, & consulting services for today’s sophisticated social software.”
What I liked most about this site was they way they illustrate how the less is more strategy when applied correctly with good design greatly enhances the goals of the site. Lots of good case studies and white paper type info here. I have already signed up to receive their Social Design Newsletter (see, it worked!).
The third site is KISSmetrics.com. Their mission: “To give all online businesses (big and small) the tools and technology to measure what’s happening and tune their user’s experience.”
As of this posting their site tools were not yet available but their blog is worth checking out. Lots of good articles on website traffic reports, how to design a great form, and other valuable insights. Check out the KISSmetrics blog by clicking here.

Comment Tracking with IntenseDebate
1 Comment · Posted by Chris Agro in Blog Tips and Tricks, What's Hot on the Internet
The Internet can be overwhelming at times. When it comes to keeping track of the comments made on your blog postings I have discovered a new comment tracking system called IntenseDebate to help keep order. Although I am still learning this new system I liked some of the features offered. For one, you can read profiles on those who post comments to your blog. IntenseDebate’s community can vote for bloggers who offer great content, and report those who do not. You get emails sent directly to your inbox when a comment is added to your blog post and the person who added the comment can receive email notifications when there is a reply made. I like that since it should promote more interaction. And I like the fact that you can setup the system to automatically tweet a comment you make on a posting if you want, nice! I would love to hear from others using IntenseDebate. Has it helped with building your blog following? What is the feature you like best?
