Non-Fan Gate adv & disadv (4 posts)

  • What advatages and disadvatages of using the non-fan gate ?

    is it a good practice to hide content from non-fans ?

    should you push your visitors to like your page to see the content even they will not come back again ?

  • @waelalhusseini you might want to check out the discussion on Welcome pages at  http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/clubs/facebook/forum/topic/facebook-welcome-pages

    There has been a lot of debate back and forth that you may find interesting.

  • I see a lot of langing pages and welcome pages all day. But when I go to a fan-gated site, I just can’t stand to not to like it! (It says that I should like the page to get exclusive something, and I am happy when I got it.)
    Really.
    Do you have something like this?

    But later I often unlike the page.
    We are doing a fan-gate for our FB Page, and I am curious if we will have more likes or not. I will let you know.

  • @waelalhusseini Would never use one on our page i think they do have a place for B2B pages or ones that need a little explanation but for the majority of pages i think the wall content can say a lot more about the page, you also have the added advantage of users seeing the community aspect of the page.
    Personally it really annoys me when i go to a page and the landing page is not the wall i just leave the page without liking it and never return unless it is something i am really interested in.
