Show HN: We made a "Google grader" FB game to promote our product
apps.facebook.comGreat idea & execution! Any reason why you chose to post a "link" to the user's wall instead of something else? I've had more success (higher CTR to app and higher engagement on FB) from posting nice large graphics to a user's wall using the photos API. Make a POST to /USER_ID/photos.
Also, I haven't had much success using Facebook invites/requests or the Facebook App Center yet - would be interested to see what kind of conversion you can get.
Thanks, appreciate the kind words.
In terms of posting a photo, we are. We're posting a graphic of their grade. Is it not showing up for you?
I will definitely let you know how the conversions are and how many people we get to our actual site
Looks like you're posting a "link" with a photo attached (using "/feed"). I'm definitely seeing the graphic you're posting, just suggesting a different method/post type which may engage users better.
I didn't even realize you could do that. Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to check that out. I agree, the bigger the graphic, the better
Though for the people who won't allow facebook apps posting stuff, please include a link here to your actual product!
Good Call: The actual product is BrandYourself.com
it helps people improve what shows up when someone googles their name
Very useful tool, and pretty quick to use.
Thanks man, the goal is to get our product in front of more people. We convert very well when we get people to our site, so this seemed like a cool, fun way to do that
