Facebook is the largest and most popular social networking site growing with a great pace and has become a major tool for driving traffic to your website. If you're a blogger, developer or a designer then Facebook can help you to increase your audience and bring extra traffic to your blog/website.
There are ways to increase traffic :

Your facebook profile is your major weapon and if you don't make your profile interesting, you will hardly become popular. Give enough background information and don't forget to make your profile public, because it can make even people who don't know you, when they somehow reach your profile, get interested and connected with you.
2. Edit your Facebook Profile -
Include information about your site on your Wall and in the photo gallery. Facebook gives you the opportunity to write a lot about you and to add pictures and videos. so write something and fill in the other tabs.
3. Add People to your Niche -
Add like minded People, so that you can get quality tips and new ideas from other like minded people from your niche. Commenting on their posts will make them look at your posts too. Share every good post related to your blog niche on Facebook to make a good impression on your friends.
4. Be Active on your Facebook Profile -
Getting traffic from facebook depends on a great profile, an impressive network, and posting regularly. No matter how interesting the stuff you share but, if you don't publish new content regularly, the Facebook traffic to your site will slow down. If you can't post regularly, updating your status regularly is more than nothing, so do it.
5. Arrange Your Facebook tabs and Sidebar -
Unlike other social networks, Facebook gives you more flexibility and you can move around many of the boxes. If you put the RSS feed with the links toyour blog in a visible space, this alone can generate lots of traffic for you.
6. Don't Use too Many Applications and Irritate your Facebook friends -
Facebook apps are numerous in every category from gaming to business related and Please do not publish every activity in applications on your wall. This gives a bad impression. Take quizzes if you like but no one actually wants to check what the app. thinks about you. So use applications wisely and never floodyour friends’ notifications with invitations to games, quizzes etc.

So whenever you get such app. updates on your homepage hover mouse pointer to the right side and click hide application button.
9. Don't Share too much and Become a Spammer -
