Like-Gate from TabSite – Pure Fan-Gating Power!
TabSite is excited to announce the release of a new feature for Gold Plan TabSite users that exponentially improves upon the existing ‘reveal tab’ image option for Fan-Gating. The new non-fan, Fan-Gate feature allows TabSite users to go beyond just loading an image and allows users complete access to the TabSite suite of tools and widgets to customize a Reveal Tab (fan-gating tab) to display to new visitors who have not yet “Liked” the Page.
The new feature radically advances past the current Non-Fan Fan-Gate image option so much so that we gave it a new name, “LIKE GATE.” The NEW Like Gate is available to all Gold Plan TabSite users and is the recommended solution to create custom content only shown to new visitors.
All features of TabSite are available to use in the new Like-Gate! This means you can add a video if you wish, a special text message, images, or use other widget tools like a PhotoShow for just the Like Gate. This exponentially expands the capability for TabSite users to give a custom message to new visitors via a reveal tab (Fan-Gating).
See Like-Gate in action!
The new Like-Gate (for Fan-Gating) is accessed in the page manager area under “My Sub-Pages.”
While on the tab you want to create a Like-Gate for, open the My Sub-Pages view and “Like-Gate” is at the top of the box as shown below:
Click the “Like-Gate” link to open this page where you have access to the full suite of TabSite widgets.
Create your Like-Gate reveal tab with any of the TabSite features you want! This gives you great ability to create a powerful presentation to new visitors to engage them to opt-in to “Like” your page! Fan-Gating will never be the same again!
Reminder: Like-Gate is available to Gold Plan users of TabSite and replaces the older, simple Fan-Gating feature.

On August 17, 2011, TabSite Community Manager Mike Gingerich participated in a AppBistro Webinar on the topic:
“5 Misconceptions when marketing your Facebook Fan Page”
The webinar reviewed data to dispel the following 5 misconceptions:
1. Your Facebook marketing message needs to be “clever” to catch attention
2. High frequency is always the best strategy for posting on Facebook
3. The conversation on your Facebook Wall alone is enough to keep fans coming back
4. The News Feed is the best way to reach your Fans
5. Maintaining control of content should be a top priority for all Page Admins
The webinar also provided the audience an indepth look at the new TabSite fan page MicroSite tools. MicroSite’s enable TabSite users to push their custom tab content to the web for better search engine indexing, increased backlinks to their fan page and website, and increased social sharing tool integrations.
A few key highlighted points:
Misconception #1 is FALSE

Misconception #2 is FALSE!
Opportunity: Set a Pattern. Find rhythm that works best for you and deliver on your promise. Try creating standard topics to set customer expectations. Analyze + Measure feedback and adjust posting accordingly.
Misconception #3 is FALSE!
Instead, we recommend you use wall postings in collaboration with a more well rounded social strategy. Custom tabs are important as they offer engagement tools that Increase engagement.
Takeaway: Don’t rely only on the Wall! While the Wall is a component of connection, socialization is done via engagement methods.
Opportunity: Increase engagement through Apps. Look at options such as:

Our goal at TabSite is to continue to bring businesses and organizations innovative and useful fan page tools to make customizing and managing your fan page easier and faster.
We are excited to offer the iFrame Widget.
The iFrame Widget makes it easy to “frame” outside content within your fan page. This new widget is available to all TabSite users at the Silver and Gold Plan levels.
Users can now bring in outside content to their fan page by simply dragging the iFrame Widget into their Page builder area in the TabSite Manager. A box will open allow you to enter the url of the outside webpage that is to appear on the fan page. Then simply drag your widget to resize the height and width, and TabSite pulls in your outside content.
Since Fan Page’s have a maximum width of 520 pixels wide, any content your are bringing in wider than this will be visible via horizontal scrollbars.
Have a mobile site? Simply grab the mobile url and use it in the iFrame Widget to bring all your mobile content to your Fan Page!
See it in action on the Da-Lite Screen fan page. Again, this is available to all users at the Silver and Gold Plan levels!
