In a previous post I told you how Facebook could drive traffic to your site, but how do you get people to add you on Facebook easier? Why not add a little Facebook badge to your website (like mine on the right)?

This post was created to specifically answer the question above, which I received from @ChuckAinsworth via my Twitter account. Hope it helps Chuck! (Tweet this article to your friends if you like it, use the blue bird icon on the right. Thx!)

OK first things first, login to Facebook.

Click on your ‘profile’ page.

Scroll down the left hand side till you see this little link labelled ‘Create a Profile Badge’ and click it.

Modify the look and content of your badge. The screen shot doesn’t show it, but there’s a preview of the badge as you make the changes so you can see what you’re doing.

Click ‘Save’ when you’re done.

For blogger and myspace users, click on the buttons that you see on the screen and it’ll do it for you automatically.

For Wordpress users, copy the code you see in the bar and then login to your WordPress blog.

Under ‘Appearance’, click ‘Widgets’ and add a text widget like what you see above. Paste the code into the text box that opens up, give it a title if you want, click ‘Done’ then click ‘Save All Changes’.

You’ll also want to rearrange the widgets to place the text box higher or lower up on your sidebar.

That’s it, reload your webpage and you’re done!

Hope you found this little tutorial useful!

If you did, Tweet it…

Thx,
