What a great analysis! I have no clue how you were able to write this post..it’d take me long hours. Well worth it though, I’d assume. Have you considered selling banners on your website?

The Choc Chunks Facebook Page is down as of July 6 2010. My guess is that this is because it violates Facebook Application Policy item V.1 (further defined in X.2) by incentivizing the use of “Application Integration Points.” I.e, the brand awards points to its users for performing actions that Facebook perceives to be inauthentic.

Love these examples, especially the Kelloggs one! Thanks for compiling.

I remember the TGI Friday Woody page… the problem for me with that campaign was that people only joined to get their free burger. Most of the wall page and discussions was filled with unhappy people not receiving their coupon. I actually remembered that I did a post about it. http://bit.ly/95bqYL
