There has been much concern over some of Facebook’s features being used 
for spamming. The best feature that has fallen into the wrong hands is Facebook’s tagging feature, which can be used very well for marketing, but unfortunately spammers use it to mass tag people, who have no interest in the link whatsoever.
Facebook tagging is another way of inviting people to look at a photo, link or page you find interesting online. You simply type the @ symbol, followed by the name of a friend in your friends list (or a page that you are connected to) and then the interesting info you have found. For the marketer, there are great ways to use this, such as posting links to new content on your site, and having THOUSANDS of people reading it.
For example, if you created a new post on your blog, which was a review of a product, with which you are affiliated, then you would be able to link to this page quite easily, on a very popular page that you are a fan of. So let’s say you are reviewing a marketing ebook that specialises in backlinking. You would make yourself a member of a fan page that is related to backlinking, and then write a short update on your wall, including the fan page name after the @ sign. E.g.: “ @Backlinking Group : This is a frank review of Backlinking Bonanza v3.0, and I’ve pulled no punches. Let me know what you think.” After the above text, click the Add Link button, and enter your URL. If you have a fan page – even better (because you will get a small icon pop up too in the update). This status update would then be posted to the fan page (which could have thousands of regular viewers), thus putting your link in front of those users – and getting traffic!
