Facebook Timeline Message – Although there are no longer “landing pages” with the new Facebook Timeline, this tutorial will help you to build app pages. App pages can still have the fan gateway on, to drive “likes” to your page, and even better, each app page has it’s own URL, so although you can’t set the default landing page, you can still drive traffic to your specific page. Any references in the tutorial to 520px, can now be 810px, which makes your pages much wider!

A great Facebook landing page can help people identify with your brand and engage with your content. In other words, rather than seeing your wall as a default, they’ll see your marketing messages and calls to action. It’s a great way to show off your latest news or offers, grab people for your mailing list, show off testimonials or awards or whatever else you can think of.
There are loads of apps out there for creating landing pages, but if you want to use your own design and content rather than a template, this tutorial is for you, complete with all the code you need.
I’ll show you how to avoid horizontal or vertical scroll-bars that eat into your content and also how to create a ‘fan-gate’. This is a nifty little trick that tells your would-be clients/customers/visitors that they must like your page to see hidden content. When they hit ‘like’, your special content is revealed. Don’t want the fangate? No problem, it’s optional!
I’ll walk you through every step of Facebook’s system, pointing out exactly what settings you need to make your landing page work – from creating an ‘app’ in their developer suite, to installing it on your page.
