Blogger Giveaways Should Not Include (Not Compulsory) “Facebook Like” Button

This may already been implemented and practiced for a while now.

Having thoughts of creating a giveaway? Your first time? Or, to those who do not know, may it become a warning to those bloggers who are frequently having giveaway promotions. As per Facebook’s rules and regulations when it comes to giveaways and promotion; “You must not use Facebook features or functionality as a promotion’s registration or entry mechanism. For example, the act of liking a Page or checking in to a Place cannot automatically register or enter a promotion participant.”

Doing such thing can result to your page’s deletion as well as to the pages of those who liked yours. There are still a lot of things and ideas to read in their rules section like notification of winners and similar things. It should be done through email, sms and any other ways as long as it is not through Facebook chat, messages and other notifications within the site.

This is going to be very sad news if your thinking of having such resources, but if you want to utilize the world’s most famous social networking site, then you should abide to their rules.

Have a great day! Happy give-away-ing! :-)
