Auto Publish Blog Posts to Facebook Fan Page

One of the best ways to build your blogs' readership is making a facebook fan page for your blog and getting people like the page. Everytime you post on facebook fan page with the link to your blog post you'll get decent views. With just 15 likes on my blogs' facebook fan page i got over 53 views on a single day.
If you don't have a Facebook Fan Page for your blog.



However blogging on blog and then putting a post on facebook isn't an easy task, it takes a great deal of time to do so.

In this post i am going to tell you how to auto publish your blog post to facebook, so you don't have to post on facebook fan page and your facebook fan page remains up-to date at the same time and brings more traffic from facebook. It can save you a great deal of money.
This post introduces you to Facebook RSS Graffiti app which takes your blog RSS Feed and automatically post it to your facebook fan page. Your blog need to have a RSS feed URL to make use of this app to post to facebook, whether your blog is on blogger or wordpress or any other platform. This is a free app and i would say grab this app right away. RSS Graffiti periodically checks the RSS feeds that we specify and post the updated entries to the Facebook wall.




Configure RSS Graffiti App for Auto Publishing

1. Login to your facebook account And go to this app link.
2. Click on Add new Publishing Plan and give a publishing name say "My Publishing Plan" and click create publishing plan.


Adding The Source

3. Click New Source and in the new source dialog box add your blogs' RSS feed url and click add source.

4. In the next Add a New Source dialog box there are two tabs: Basic and Advanced.
5. In Basic tab give the feed title, Configure the maximum posts per update and Post order per update combo box according to your needs.

In the advanced tab, you have more options like Format the message and Filtering Options.
6. In the Format message section, you can choose many options however the best one is Same as items' title
7. If your blog already have some posts you can use the cut-off date time, in this box specify the date on which you published your first post if you want all your posts to update on page wall. Or if not you can leave as it is.
8. In Publish Delay box which defines how many minutes old an entry must be before publishing you can leave it as it is if you want to post to facebook wall as soon as it gets published on your blog or configure it accordingly and click save button.



Adding The Target

9. Now click New Target button. In the dialog box that opens select Facebook.
10. In the basic tab, Choose target and publish on behalf. In target choose your blog page and in publish on behalf choose choose the page name. 
11. This app also gives you an option to choose the style of RSS feed, you can go for “Compact” as well as “Standard” format for showing RSS feed on your Facebook  wall. I will suggest you to go for “Standard” because “Compact” gives the look of twitter feed.
and click save changes.

12. Click on the OFF button to ON the Auto-Publishing feature.

The RSS Graffiti App is now configured to automatically post to Facebook Fan Page.One of its unique features is that this app works with Facebook profile and Facebook fan pages and  You can add multiple feeds and configure multiple Facebook pages to publish updates using this app.
