The newly revised, expanded, and hot-off-the-press Facebook Marketing Bible: 39+ Ways to Market Your Brand, Company, Product, or Service Inside Facebook – December 2008 Edition is now available!

Originally launched one year ago, this marks the official 2nd Anniversary Edition of the Facebook Marketing Bible! It’s been a busy year – a dozen monthly updates and a recently announced French translation – La Bible du Marketing sur Facebook!

The Facebook Marketing Bible has been purchased by hundreds of agencies, marketers, social application developers, entrepreneurs, and educators, and is the leading resource on Facebook marketing today.

The densely-packed Facebook Marketing Bible contains three detailed sections: Tools for Guerilla Marketers, Tools for Advertisers, and Tools for Application Developers. Each part outlines the best available channels and strategies for reaching your audience inside Facebook. Please see the full table of contents below.

The December 2008 edition includes updates on the following topics:

• The latest details on Facebook Connect - including how webmasters and media companies can leverage Facebook Connect to get more registered users and drive more traffic to their site. Facebook Connect allows websites to integrate Facebook’s identity system and viral channels directly into their site, opening massive new marketing opportunities for companies who want to tap into the power of Facebook.
• Updates on Facebook Pages and how they relate to your SEO strategy. Facebook has recently been heavily investing in internal SEO tactics to drive up Facebook Pages in Google results. The effects? More traffic will be hitting Facebook Pages in the coming months, and brands should be prepared with a Page marketing strategy.
• The latest on Demographic Restrictions and how they affect advertisers and application developers. The changes that Facebook announced earlier this year regarding alcohol sales and other demographic restrictions went into a few weeks ago. In addition, a new policy is going into affect on January 9 that could affect hundreds of advertisers and game developers. Learn all about the details here.
• The viral dynamics of photo tagging. A new tactic is becoming increasingly common amongst aggressive grassroots Facebook marketers: tag spamming. Learn how marketers are using Facebook Photos to get their brands spread throughout Facebook – and which ones are likely to last.
