Hey there FM. So, I have a question for those stats trackers out there that use FB and a blog to share wedding posts. Which is better, driving people to your FB page or blog? Which has a greater chance of bringing future business your way?
I always post about 35 images from each wedding to my blog and FB. When I post to FB I tag the couple and encourage them to tag their friends, and link my blog to the post. The day I post a wedding preview I'll get a decent amount of likes, views and comments on FB, and another 300 or so hits to my blog. I've always believed that posting photos to FB was better for reaching a larger audience, because of how tagging and comments work.
Some photographers I know will use their FB accounts to only post links to their blog. They won't upload anything to a FB album. I've never done that before, but I'm wondering if it's more effective. Here's why...
A couple of weeks ago my associate shot a wedding, and I didn't tag the bride and groom because I'm not friends with her on FB. She went ahead and linked the blog post to her FB account and within 24 hours my blog got close to 1300 hits. I was excited by the traffic to my blog, but is that more beneficial than traffic to my FB account? On Facebook there is the possibility of reaching more people, and having people like my page. This produces long term exposure.
Does anyone have knowledge on which is better?
