Facebook is re-indexing the web around people

Every month, more than 10,000 new websites connect their content and visitors to the Open Graph via the Like button

Liking your web page triggers a Viral traffic loop

New traffic generates new “Likes” as the viral loop continues

The update is pushed to hundreds of friends’ Facebook newsfeeds, generating clicks back to your web pages.

Visitors click “Like” which generates a Facebook newsfeed message
