The 25 Largest Brand Facebook Pages With Most Likes
Facebook just keeps growing as one of the most important platforms on the web for brands to engage with and with that in mind we thought we would share the 25 biggest Facebook pages belonging to brands. The list includes brands only and doesn’t include pages belonging to applications or celebrities. You’ll recognize the biggest brands on the list and to a large extent you would expect that most of their numbers are coming through pure advertising although there are some that don’t even seem to be actively pushing their pages and the growth has been largely pushed by fans (lucky them!). I’ve pretty much left tons of music bands, TV shows and pages that would probably grow organically without the need for advertising and focused on brands and businesses that are engaging through Facebook as a key marketing strategy.

At Facebook's core is the social graph: people and the connections they have to everything they care about. Historically, Facebook has managed this graph and has expanded it over time as we launch new products (ex: photos, places). In 2010, we introduced an early version of Open Graph, an extension of the social graph, via the Open Graph protocol , to include third-party websites and pages that people liked throughout the web. We are now extending the Open Graph to include arbitrary actions and objects created by third-party apps and enabling these apps to integrate deeply into the Facebook experience. After a user adds your app to their Timeline, app specific actions are shared on Facebook via the Open Graph. As your app becomes an important part of how users express themselves, these actions are more prominently displayed throughout Timeline, News Feed, and Ticker.

While much of finding what works for your business on social media sites is a process of trial and error, recent stats from e-mail marketing firm ExactTarget (which recently acquired social CRM platform CoTweet ) shed some light on how the Facebook population uses the site, and specifically, how it interacts with brands. First, the good news: Based on its study of 1,500 Facebook users, ExactTarget concluded that 38% of online U.S. consumers “Like” (formerly “Fan”) a brand on the social networking site. And the average fan Likes nine different brands, giving you plenty of opportunity to find your way into potential customers’ news feeds.
