I don’t know how to, but I’d envisage posting links to individual CSC Forum posts and hopefully getting some traffic to come here.
People here who are adverse to having their real names known would have no need to use the Facebook side.
Some people will only post/comment on Facebook and that’s ok.
What I’ve done is purely a “beta” it can be promoted, canned and/or I’m happy to add or hand over admin rights.
Robblues has suggested that admin/mods of CSC should send out a group email to the member database asking them to come back or a survey about why they do/don’t post anymore.
A penny for your thoughts please…

Are we trying to get people here on FB?
Or are we trying to attract people to here from FB?

Without being logged into FB I tried an advanced Google search, but it doesn't show up yet so it is probably not yet indexed by Google. site:facebook.com Carlton Supporters Group
Of course there is a bunch of other FB Groups using the same basic name, not sure that helps.
You are correct about the google search, see my edit in the previous post.
Did you try a search from within fb [member=153]LP[/member] ?

I joined FB in 2010 because my 4WD club used it as their major communication tool. I was reluctant at first but it worked quite well. Now even my RSL has its own FB page.
I haven’t had any issues but I always ignore friend requests from young ladies with improbable names and even more improbable physiques ?
Not mentioning the name of the previous POTUS is another good way to avoid problems.
Apart from that, you have to watch what you say or you will be in FB gaol. CSC is far more liberal in language and topics ?
It will be interesting to see how the FB page goes and whether it generates more interest in our forum ?

I'd say the aim is to attract people here "through" facebook.
People searching for a Carlton fan page to join do a search...we show up as one of the options.
They join the Facebook page.
Once there they follow the link to the forum.
The problem at the moment is there are heaps of such sites.
We do show up if you search for "Carlton supporters" on facebook
If you do a Bing search "Carlton Supporters facebook" we're number 2 behind the clubs official facebook page.
Google- nothing as yet, 'crickets' at the moment.

I guess the first measure of success will be if we get a member on the facebook page who comes to it of their own accord and is not already a member or friend of a member of CSC.

However, one problem with FB is that search results and notifications are subject to the algorithm, so finding stuff isn't as straight forward.
Re: CSC Facebook Page - DJC - 01-24-2023
I just informed a former prolific poster here about the FB page and her response was 'Great, I'll join it now!" Then she couldn't find the page :
I sent her the link and she's awaiting approval. It would be good if it entices her back here

There is at least one long lost former CSC member who has joined the fb group, so its a start.
DJC strikes again !
