[...] 1. Make updates about your company. Promote real-life events. Upload a snapshot of a new product that came in. Introduce a new employee. Mention a great interaction with a customer you had today. If you have a blog, post links to new articles (this can be automated). [...]

Thanks so much for posting this — so much more convenient than using one of the RSS import apps! It would be nice if FB made this a bit easier, y’know?

Excellent info Jean. However I just had a question.

Is there anyway to import an RSS feed onto a Facebook page, so that when the user clicks on it, they are redirected back to a website, instead of a note?

Also, when you import an RSS feed onto a page, does it show up on a Fans news feed?

Thank you very much. I always have trouble finding things in Facebook but your post is bang on target. Wanted to fetch my site RSS in facebook fan page.

thanks for the good tutorial! worked first time – just a note if you have more than one fan page per account – make sure you access the notes tab directly from the fan page you want to import to. Else it will import to wrong page (if you have more than one)

Just an FYI, ping.fm has an option to feed into facebook pages. It’s really simple, and while you are there, you can have it feed into over 30 other social networks.

I suggest using Networked Blogs. I have used it to post to my personal page for some time and just added the setting to post to my Facebook Fanpage as well.

I have a problem where I have 1 facebook account, but 2 fan pages for 2 different blogs, I can’t seem to make 1 feed go to each fanpage, as your “notes” only ties to your personal account not to a specific fanpage.

I uploaded a RSS feed to my Fan page – but its been almost over 24 hours and no additional content has been transferred to the page from my blog? Why?

By: Lina

Lina — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 07:59:08 +0000

i found what the problem was!
Facebook changed something when they did some updates and thats whu its not working and a lot of people if not all have this problem. So for now you have two choises… update manually or use an app but i haven’t found anyone that makes your blog feed look good… just text and it doent appear in the page wall… i hope that they will solve this problem

Thank you Jean!

The feed is valid but facebook fan page will not update it automaticlly.
I can’t find anyone who has had a similar problem and facebook doesn’t respond to my mails. I hope someone here can help me

For those who are having problems with their feed, try validating it:

* Feed Validator for Atom and RSS:
http://beta.feedvalidator.org/

* W3C Feed Validation Service
http://validator.w3.org/feed/

Follow-up to my 8pm comment. I deleted the RSS feed and then reinstalled it. Several, but not all of the blog postings since the initial batch appeared on the FAN page. Partial success.

Related subject: If you can answer, How far back will RSS feed of blog posts to one’s FAN page appear? On my notes page to my PROFILE it appears to have no end. But was wondering if a FAN page notes has a limit to how many will show.

My blog is not feeding the Fan page after initial setup.

Thanks so much for helping me get this going, but the blog didn’t continue to feed. Nothing in last 48 hours even though there were more postings on the blog after initial setup

Am reviewing your instructions, checked the setup in Fan page, but no clues why the feed stopped.

Thanks for all the kind words and praise folks! I blush.

Jeyaganesh – you need the url of your blog’s rss feed, not the blog homepage. I just looked at your blog, and the correct url is: http://cybergyaan.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

Sheri – my posts are also often slow to show up in Facebook, I don’t know if there’s any way around it. Check the settings of your RSS to see if there’s a delay – for example, I have coded a 10 min delay into my CheapEats.ie blog, so I have time to correct or take down a post before it appears in the feed.

OMG thank you so much. This is so helpful. I’ve been trying like crazy to import the RSS for my marriage equality blog at http://stop8.org and I would NEVER have found it on my own.

I used the instructions and it works, but it takes up to 48 hours for the post to go from my blog to the facebook page. Is this normal?

Thanks
