FBXTAB PAGES
From the X-Tab team, that is Phil Benham and Daniel Tan, comes another great offering for Facebook Internet Marketers. Now, please forgive me if I am going to sound like I’m just singing accolades from here on out, but to be quite frank about FB XTAB PAGES, the latest app under the X-Tab family, it just downright blew me off my socks with its monstrous customization abilities, cool and slick templates, ease of use and excellent customer support.
To give a picture of what XTAB PAGES offers for the Internet Marketer, both expert and beginner, it’s necessary to understand the challenges they face when running a marketing campaign on Facebook using an app. They include:
- Proper technical support for the app
- Limitations, such as locked to just a few Facebook Pages
Hosting, the reliability and responsiveness of the hosting service.
- Customization, which is really important for Internet Marketers because they want the ability to create a Page that suits their exact needs and standards. They want to be unique. Like-gating is also a requirement.
- Cost, where they want to keep costs as low as possible.
- White label, where there is absolutely no mention of the app provider anywhere on the app.
- Moreover, many Internet Marketers want to brand the app with their own image.
XTAB PAGES addresses all of the above issues admirably. I started out by creating a simple company profile Facebook Page. XTAB PAGES comes with the all-important Like-gating feature, where it is just a simple matter of where one wishes to create the Page under: the Not Liked Page and a Liked Only Page option. If, say, you do not want Like-gating enabled, simply create your entire Page on the Not Liked Page option. Otherwise, simply create another Page under the Liked Only Page option to enable Like-gating. Remember though, that this means the Not Liked Page becomes your teaser Page where you drop tantalizing bits about your Page so as to excite people and get them to like your Page to access the full content (which is created on the Liked Only Page option).
For purposes of this review I concentrated only on creating a fictitious company profile Page without Like-gating. I wanted to explore the full options given to me and to see how far I can go with creating a professional Facebook Page using XTAB PAGES. I didn’t have to worry about hosting as X-Tab provides a very reliable hosting service at no additional charge. I chose the corporate template theme from the Default Templates tab (XTAB PAGES comes with a number of custom templates ready for use), and a slick, professional Page was ready for me to modify and customize as I see fit.

Next, I wanted to insert videos and images into the company profile Page. No problem here at all. Everything was done with an easy point and click interface. I was able to embed two videos from Youtube (though I can use my own video coding as well) on the Page and upload my own images quite easily.
If I had wanted to build a Page from scratch, the whole process would have actually been quite easy as well. It is easy enough to setup a Page with the huge customizations available at my fingertips. Custom templates, custom CSS, custom HTML and custom Javascript allows one to customize virtually every aspect of the Page, from the borders and elements to even the Like, Share, Invite and Comments buttons themselves!
Speaking of which, this is where XTAB PAGES truly shines. Its real power is the ability to instantly implement any Facebook Social Plug-in such as Like, Invite and Share and then customizing it in anyway one wishes. You are limited only by your imagination in creating the Page that you want.

XTAB PAGES also white labels their app. There’s no mention of X-Tab or XTAB PAGES anywhere on the Page at all. I’m also given the choice of branding the app so it looks as if I’m the one that created the app itself and running the show. This is pretty neat for my affiliate marketing purposes. Plus, I can create as many Pages as I want with just one copy of XTAB PAGES. You are not bound to a set number of Pages with this sweet app!
X-Tab’s team of coders and marketers are among the first pioneers in the Facebook Marketing niche. Their technical support team does a marvelous job of keeping up to date with Facebook’s changes and trends, and Phil has promised that they will constantly upgrade XTAB PAGES accordingly. There’s no need to worry about paying for a new version, as the latest version is always installed and any existing versions will be upgraded accordingly as well with no charge.
The X-Tab team also has a very professional, caring and experienced customer support service. They have always been prompt in answering any questions that I have. Phil himself is quite active on the X-Tab Facebook Page, encouraging interaction among the community there. In fact, he gave me a hint that more apps are to come based on the feedback he received from the users there.
All in all, XTAB PAGES is a rock solid Facebook app that delivers the goods, and then some. I highly recommend it for any Internet Marketer looking for the edge to catapult themselves over the competition on Facebook. Go here for more details on XTAB PAGES.
