” Online competitive data provider Hitwise recently set out to answer a question that Web marketers have been asking for some time now: How much, really, is a Facebook Fan worth to a website? Well, Hitwise claims to have found the answer, and it is 20 visits per year. One Facebook Fan. says the firm, is equal to 20 additional visits to a website each year- so, 10,000 fans will equate to 200,00 more visits annually. Hitwise said that its ” unique methodology” took the top 100 retailers from its shopping and classifieds category and bench-marked visits to those websites against the number of fans those brands had on their Facebook pages.
