Who would understand Facebook better than the Facebook owners themselves?

The right hand column is dedicated solely for you to spread the word among your friends and below the fold, you can see what people are saying about their brand. Smooth landing? We think so!


In conclusion, a landing page serves its purpose well when it provides an immediate call-to-action for its fans.
