Friend And I Or Friend And Me: Although, it was developed to connect with the people who you know in your real life like your friends and family members but now people are using it for their business purpose also to be in touch with their customers and followers.
Facebook is now mature enough to detect spam activities. If you'll send friend requests to unknown people, your account may be blocked temporarily or permanently, leaving behind the sadness on your face.
You may find hundreds of tutorials on Google claiming to give you 5000+ friend requests in one day or week but sadly, nothing will work. Moreover, if you'll try those tricks, Facebook may penalize your account for spam protection.
Instead of this, it would be better if you'll try some ethical ways to gain more friend requests. This may not give you instant results but at last, you don't have to lose anything. Also, It's good to target people who actually care about you and your work instead of targeting those who know nothing about you.
6 Ways to get more Facebook friend requests
Here are few things you can do to gain lots of friend requests on Facebook in ethical way.
1. Link to your website
If you own a website or blog, you can link it with your Facebook profile. If you're getting decent traffic, this method will perform very well. Either you can directly add your profile link in an anchor text or you can use Facebook follow plugin (which is particularly to get followers).
I recommend using them on about/contact page and below post content in "about the author" section. If your readers will find interest in your articles, they will look for the way to connect with you and Facebook is undoubtedly the best medium.
Make sure to add a call to action note while linking to your Facebook profile. For example, you can write "add me on Facebook", "Connect with me" or "Follow me" in the anchor text. These call to actions will drive more people to your profile and thus, you'll get more friend requests.
2. Index your profile in search engines
Good thing about Facebook is that, it index profiles in search engines as like pages are indexed. Out of all search engines, Google has a great potential to drive huge traffic.

Tell me how it would be if all of them will visit your Facebook profile.
Around 70% will send you a friend request. This trick is good for those people who have a good reputation and fame in this virtual world. For example, if you own a popular website or if you're a comedian, people will search your name on Google to find your Facebook profile. Make sure that it's there in first result page to get maximum friend requests.
Now if you want to find out the current status of your profile, first open Google homepage and search for your first and last name and add "Facebook" keyword after it. Alternatively, you can search your profile link. If your profile is there on first, second or third results page, this means that it's already indexed. On the other hand, if you didn't find it, you've to index your Facebook profile manually.
