Fan Pages Can Now Boost Posts
As the number of Fan Pages increases, so does the total number of unique status updates, which have surpassed 20,000 per month. To allow Pages an opportunity to gain News Feed visibility we've introduced post boosting for status updates. Boosting is a social media term for a paid system of enhancing the chance of fans seeing a post generated by a Page.
Here's how it works on GTribe:
(1) When you post a status update you'll now see a "Boost" button.
(2) Clicking the button… See More
allows you to select the audience you want to reach.
(3) The cost of boosting a post for 24 hours is $15 for Fan Pages.
(4) Only credit/debit cards are currently accepted for the boosting service.
(5) You can optionally store your credit card, so boosting selection is faster next time.
(6) After the boost ends you will receive a notification with a link to the enhanced analytics.
Boosted posts are identified as Promoted. Members who do not want to see boosted posts from a particular page can select “Hide Promoted Posts from FAN PAGE NAME” in the status update's drop-down menu.
Reading some of the replies and in my opinion, this is quite cheap. I have almost 2000 friends and could boost to them and all their friends which would be awesome! I also understand that this community is in no way bombarded by advertisements so to keep the growing community going, it takes sponsors, UX, and LUX members. This is not Facebook which is led by greed. It is a fellowship that just keeps growing and requires financial maintenance and does not build revenue like other social sites. If… See More
you don't like it, don't do it. Simple. I will be trying it out soon. Can't wait!

sorry if this comment will seem harsh, in the recent months of development at GTribe all i saw was money stuff, pay for this, pay for that, not long ago i asked why gtribe doesn't provide anymore new game offers, i did receive an answer but it was not concrete, not putting hate infact i love this community, it's way better than many other social media places and am thankful to be part of it, I am very much aware of the expensive cost to run the community but my main concern is there's no… See More
more new game offers.Members are giving but isn't getting much in return, it should be mutual, benefits from both side.It's becoming quite boring. Now on the main post here, the price could have been within a range for example, $5, $10, $15, $20 each for a certain amount of audience and time. beside this i'm happy the constant improvement done in general.

Where will it show the boosted post — on the fan page's feed or on all fan's feeds? Will it be at the top of the feed or just kind of floats throughout the feed?

Great feature for those who are interested in that sort of thing. Not every new feature has to be for everyone. Also, I can say as someone who has done SEO/Social media stuff for other places in the past that rate is VERY reasonable comparatively.

Awesome!
I like that I can give my posts a boost while helping support GTribe.
Sometimes I get frustrated when I post a question for the community and it doesn't get many views because it gets buried too quickly.
$15 does seem a little high.. But I'll probably still give it a try sometime soon.
(I understand it can be more costly to promote posts elsewhere. I am just speaking in terms of my own budget.. I barely scraped together $6 to spend on the steam summer sale!)

Could have started at a lower price point.
I don't have a #fan page but seems rather high for 24 hrs.
