Free Kick: Cristiano Ronaldo's Facebook Page Gets A Boost

Facebook wants brands to use its fan Pages to promote themselves, so it sometimes will fold unofficial but popular pages into the official brand Page. This appears to be what happened to the official page of Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo. It gained more than 500,000 users on August 29th, while it typically has only gained a few thousand fans a day, according to our PageData service.

Ronaldo’s page now has nearly 3 million fans, making it the 18th most popular one on Facebook as of today.
