Thanks Ammar, I am new to social media marketing and have been sharing blogs from other sources but I did not consider befriending other bloggers on Facebook and forming relationships with them. I will begin this practice, starting with you my friend.

Thanks Ammar Bro i have download that list and its really an amazing list of all popular blogging tips groups which we have some of them personally joined earlier. Thanks buddy.
Hi Ammar,
So far the strategy that helped increase my fans on Facebook is commenting and liking as my fan page. I go on other fan pages with lots of fans and which are relevant to my niche and interact there as my fan page. I leave comments and if people ask questions I try to reply myself if I know the subject. This way I can put my fan page in front of a lot of people.
I totally agree with you on posting pictures on FB. I always take a screenshot of my blog posts and post that together with the link to it.
Thanks for your tips Ammar, really enjoyed reading this post.
Cheers.

Most welcome Ammar Ali for sharing this valuable and impressive blog post. Really this is one of the good source of Facebook tutorial. Actually i never thought about using Facebook group for more traffic before for blogging purpose. When i interest to read blog, i just visit them and i think it would not only help for creative purpose but also help eliminate publishing. I guess i should start using them to organize everything and promote my blog as easy and random.
Thanks for the tips and for list of Facebook Groups too ;-)
Facebook is great, better than twitter IMO… once a good post gets popular with facebook it seems like minded people will also like it and the domino effect happens. The hard part it creating content that people like enough to click the “like” button but it’s fun when unexpected pages get popular…
Howdy Ammar
Awesome tips i must appreciate your work and your dedication
Creating attractive fan page is one of most important tips to attract readers.
Polls on latest updates and adding some short videos of your niche can be more helpful.
