When you visit someones Facebook page and "like" them you should be doing to do it with a personal account. When you "like" a page from a personal account that pages "like" numbers go up by one.  I know everyone loves to watch their follower numbers go up! If you're using Facebook as your fan page and you like someone's page the number of "people who like this" does NOT go up.   The only reason to like a page as your fan page is that it adds the page to the list of sites you fan pages likes (that little bar to the right that shows all those cute logos).  It also allows you to @ tag them on your wall, but you get the same result by liking them with your personal account. Maybe, like myself, you feel awkward about using your private personal account for this sort of thing.  You could always do what I've done, which is make a secondary Facebook account to use for this sort of thing.  You might want to note that what I'm suggesting violates Facebooks terms. However, I know I'm not the only one out there with a secondary "blogging" account. Call to Action: Send out a Tweet (Feel free to link back to this post if you'd like). Let's get the word out and share this info around so that all those new followers you're getting from The Great Canadian Blog Bash will count towards making your "like" numbers rise! (Thanks
