How do I combine facebook likes for two domains?

[robert m]

I made a new website and it automatically made a www and non-www version. This was fine but I didn't realise until after I had some facebook likes on the pages that the number was different and even though they are both based on the same webpage, they aren't connecting the Facebook likes. I have tried phoning my web hosting company and I have been searching Google all day and can't find any solution. The Facebook insight page only shows the site without www and when I try to add it with the www it doesn't do anything and just displays the results for the site with lower likes on it. It's highly frustrating and any help would be appreciated.

Hi Robert M

You could try Facebook Badge http://www.facebook.com/badges/
It will replace that bland “find us on Facebook” text link with a nice graphic with your Page logo.

You could also try the Like Box. This will put a box on your website that looks just like your Facebook page, showing its latest updates and comments. It also has a Like button which a visitor to your site can click to sign up to your Page without leaving your website. You can customise the Like Box before adding it to your website, changing its width and a number of other parameters. You can try it out first to see what it will look like:

Go to your Facebook page and copy its URL (web address) from the address bar in your web browser.
Go to the Facebook Like Box link. Paste your page’s address into the box labeled “Facebook Page URL”. You’ll see it generate a sample using content from your own Facebook page.
Experiment with width and other parameters until it looks right for your website.
When you’re ready to add it to your website, hit the “Get Code” button.
Copy the code and paste it into the page on your website where you want it to appear. This is not difficult but you’ll need access to your website’s HTML code. D-I-Y types will know how to do this and it takes just a couple of minutes. Most content management systems have an “HTML” or “Source” button on their editors which gives you access to the underlying HTML code. If you prefer to use your web designer, it’s just a small job so it shouldn’t cost much.

Hope this helps!
