I have been using Twitter to promote my content for quite a few months now (with some very nice results) but the one social networking site that I really wanted to crack was Facebook. I’d heard other people talk about gaining traffic from there and wanted in on the deal.
With that in mind I started to wonder if anybody had developed any WordPress plugins that I could use to help me publish content on Facebook. Not only did I find some but I actually found some bloody good ones that have already started helping me.
I thought that other people might be interested in driving traffic from Facebook, so I have listed the plugins that I use that are related to Facebook.
1-click Retweet/Share/Like – This plugin places small buttons on your post so readers can retweet it on Twitter or publish it on their Facebook accounts.
Facebook Profile Theme – This neat little plugin helps create a tab on your Facebook profile where you can host blog posts.
FT FacePress II – This is my favourite plugin. It publishes the title, link and excerpt of your post onto your wall just like a Facebook update status.
Wordbooker – This pretty much does the same thing as FT FacePress II but it has the options of bringing over comments and polls and a lot more features.
There are of course many many more that I have yet to try but if you want to increase your readership and traffic then I’d suggest starting with these today.
Do you use ones that I have no listed? Why not leave a comment and let us know what they are and what they do?

Thanks for the list of plugins and the links to them.
I currently use one Facebook plugin that published my blog posts to Facebook but I think I like the FT FacePress II better.

Thanks for the comment Rick. I thought it might be worth pointing out to everyone that with WordBooker I can also publish my posts to any fan pages I am part of.
I’ll be checking out the last two for sure
I hope you do not do what I did.
I had them both installed at the same time and forgot to edit their settings. They ended up both publishing post links to my FB account twice and annoying a fair amount of people on my friend list.
Thanks man. Not to worry, I only installed FacePress II. Let’s see how things go when 2moro’s blog post goes live.
I’m not sure if anyone else found this but I had to delete FacePress II because it stopped publishing the posts to my fan page.
Sorting #Internship applications for an online marketing role. Using facebook does not make you an online marketing expert!
A bit like how when football clubs are looking for a new manager they have to go through hundreds of applications form people who have done really well on the Football Manager PC game?
Thank’s For this Post.
Btw, I am not very familiar with how the settings “W3 Total Cache Plugin” do you have a post that talks about how this plugin setting

I’m afraid I don’t. I only had the plugin installed for a couple of days before removing it as it was causing mayhem with my pages.
